Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Cochrane specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant health care training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat conditions stretching from commonplace afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet routinely experience.
