Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive healthcare education with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with problems ranging from commonplace ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet usually encounter.
