Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Cochrane provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties ranging from general problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
