Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Cochrane concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant health care instruction with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat difficulties varying from commonplace conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
