Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical training with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with complications extending from normal afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which give them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
