Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Cochrane provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained significant healthcare training with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address issues stretching from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
