Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to manage problems extending from general ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which furnish them the expertise essential to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet regularly experience.
