Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Cochrane provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to address problems stretching from normal ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
