Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Cochrane focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat complications varying from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
