Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical training with an importance on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to address complications stretching from typical afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet typically encounter.
