Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical 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 achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions extending from commonplace problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience required to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied 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 receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
