Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare instruction with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for difficulties extending from commonplace problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
