Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat issues stretching from typical afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet typically experience.
