Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and a number of podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant medical education with a concentration on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat difficulties stretching from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
