Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage issues ranging from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet generally experience.
