Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough medical training with a main focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from usual problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
