Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with a main focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to deal with problems ranging from normal problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
