Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Cochrane specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained thorough medical education with a focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with difficulties stretching from commonplace afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
