Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained thorough health care education with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with conditions ranging from usual ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the prior experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet routinely experience.
