Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable healthcare instruction with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with issues ranging from typical problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
