Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive health care training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to care for difficulties ranging from usual conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
