Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with a focus on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle complications stretching from familiar conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet frequently experience.
