Ashton Podiatry Associates honored as True Blue DFW Business

(Dallas) May 29, 2012 –  Ashton Podiatry Associates, which offers expert evaluation and treatment of injuries, diseases and disorders of the foot and ankle, was recently invited to participate in the True Blue Business Recognition Series, a program that publicly recognizes exceptional companies and business owners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that are “doing business right.”

Scott Sams, morning show host at KRLD NewsRadio 1080 and former news anchor at CBS 11 and WFAA-TV Channel 8, interviewed Dr. Roy Ashton to gain insight into the people, practices and core beliefs that make Ashton Podiatry a True Blue Business. A portion of the interview will air on KRLD on May 30. The full conversation and video will be featured at BlueRibbonNews.com, DFW’s online community news source that highlights good news and events from area neighborhoods, churches, schools, businesses, clubs and organizations.

In addition, Ashton Podiatry will be profiled in print in theTrue Blue Business special supplement to The Wall Street Journal.

Companies identified as True Blue Businesses deliver quality goods and services while demonstrating a strong commitment to their customers, employees, and the community. They act with honesty and integrity, are “true blue” and loyal to the people they serve, and often go the extra mile. In short, they are the companies that Dallas-Fort Worth can count on.

True Blue Businesses are approved based on information obtained through comprehensive interviews and research. The evaluation process involves input from principals, officers, management, employees, and customers to determine a company’s ability to consistently demonstrate the following:

  • honesty and integrity in day-to-day dealings with customers, in the management of employees, in interactions with the community;
  • responsiveness in resolving customer complaints, handling employee matters, and adapting to changing market conditions;
  • and goodwill toward customers, employees, and the community.

Ashton Podiatry employs 24 staff members and has treated thousands of patients over the past 30 years. The Ashton brothers, Drs. Roy, Scott, and Ivan, carry out their mission of making “happy feet” by taking that extra step to provide the best, state-of-the-art care for their patients in each of the practice’s four locations. The practice has been included among D Magazine’s Best Doctors for the past seven years.

Services include everything from preventive measures, to conservative treatments, to major reconstructive surgeries. They treat all types of foot conditions, including ingrown toenails, warts, fungal infections, heel pain, arch pain, bunions, hammertoes, injuries, and Diabetes-related foot conditions.  X-rays and ultrasound studies are performed onsite with immediate results. Physical therapy is also available.

Ashton Podiatry’s proven record of putting patients first helped the practice achieve its True Blue status. During the True Blue evaluation process, patients consistently reported that they didn’t feel like they were being shuffled through a system at Ashton Podiatry.

“It’s really simple, we treat our patients the way we want to be treated. And we treat our employees the way we want them to treat our patients. We’re here as a service, we’re here for people; they’re not here for us and we do everything we can to help them,” Dr. Roy Ashton said. “Being named a True Blue DFW Business makes us feel really good that we’re doing things right. We enjoy what we do and this recognition just reinforces what we do.”
