Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to care for problems extending from general ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet regularly experience.
