Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough medical training with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions ranging from basic ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet commonly encounter.
