Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to care for complications extending from conventional disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience required to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
