Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage problems varying from simple ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet typically experience.
