Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical education with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to address difficulties ranging from commonplace afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet normally experience.
