Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant health care training with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems ranging from simple afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet frequently experience.
