Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat conditions extending from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet typically experience.
