Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial health care training with a concentration on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with concerns stretching from normal disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
