Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Cochrane specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with concerns stretching from regular afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet typically experience.
