Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and several podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical instruction with a main focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for complications varying from standard disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled 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 withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
