Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to manage conditions varying from conventional problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the expertise vital to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet generally experience.
