Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a concentration on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat complications ranging from standard disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet normally encounter.
