Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to address issues varying from typical problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
