Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to manage difficulties stretching from conventional problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet usually encounter.
