Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing healthcare training with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage complications ranging from conventional afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the skill essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet typically encounter.
