Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Cochrane specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications varying from general problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
