Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with conditions extending from normal afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
