Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical instruction with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for problems varying from commonplace disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
