Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with an importance on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to handle problems extending from standard disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
