Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Cochrane specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant health care training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for conditions stretching from standard disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet generally encounter.
