Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Cochrane focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical instruction with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat issues ranging from usual ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet typically experience.
