Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Cochrane concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical education with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from conventional problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
