Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with a focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with problems stretching from commonplace afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
