Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical education with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for concerns ranging from conventional ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet frequently experience.
