Services
Laser Therapy
FDA-approved laser treatment for fungal toenails offers a fast, effective solution without drug therapy. The procedure requires two safe, quick treatments with minimal discomfort, performed as an outpatient service. Clinical studies show over 88% success rate in killing toenail fungus while promoting clear nail growth. No anesthesia is needed, and patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Wound Care
Specialized diabetic wound care focuses on preventing infection and amputation through comprehensive ulcer management. Our approach includes off-loading pressure, debridement, advanced dressings, and circulation assessment. We provide education on daily foot inspections and proper footwear while coordinating with endocrinologists for blood glucose control. Treatment plans address both wound healing and prevention of recurrence through patient education and regular podiatric care.
Orthotic Fabrication
In-office custom molded orthotics correct abnormal foot function using computerized CAD-CAM technology. We create both functional orthotics for motion control and accommodative orthotics for cushioning. Each device is tailored to individual foot structure after comprehensive biomechanical analysis. Our orthotics treat conditions like plantar fasciitis, neuromas, and sports injuries while fitting various shoe types including dress, casual, and athletic footwear.
Surgical Treatment
Board-certified surgeons perform both minor and complex reconstructive foot procedures in ambulatory surgical centers. Our surgical expertise includes bunion corrections, hammertoe repairs, and tendon surgeries. We utilize minimally invasive techniques where appropriate and provide comprehensive post-operative care. Pre-surgical consultations ensure patients understand all treatment options and recovery expectations while using the latest imaging technology for accurate diagnosis.
Biomechanical Analysis
Comprehensive biomechanical evaluations identify abnormal foot function causing pain and deformities. Using advanced scanning technology, we create 3D foot models to analyze pressure points and movement patterns. This assessment guides treatment decisions for conditions like shin splints, runner's knee, and chronic heel pain. Our analysis informs both conservative treatments like orthotics and surgical interventions when necessary.

Weird office hours. Called to get their business hours before driving across town to pickup some inserts, got there 15 mins before they were supposed to close and door was bolted. If you don't have enough respect for your customers time to stay open when you're telling people you'll be open I'll have to take my business somewhere else.

My wife received a pedicure about a year ago that lead to an ingrown toenail & an infected toe. She went to a podiatrist who painfully injected her toe to numb it then cut only part of the toenail out. It was a horrible, horrible experience. A year later, the ingrown came back leaving her struggling to walk. Scarred from her last visit to a podiatrist, she reluctantly decided to make an appointment at Poplar Podiatry.
A night and day difference. Dr Ashbury was very nice and personable. All of the pain my wife experienced having the last ingrown removed didn't occur. Not sure if Dr Ashbury used a different method or what but the previous doctor left her with a 10/10 pain during the procedure. With Dr. Ashbury, her pain was a 2/10 maybe. Dr Ashbury also pointed out the last Dr left the toenail! He missed a chunk of it. Dr Ashbury was very thorough and made sure to get the toenail at the root to prevent this from returning as much possible. We highly highly recommend poplar podiatry!

I had a friday afternoon appointment scheduled at the office. I thought it was a 330 appointment. I arrived at 334 due to traffic and the office was closed. I called, even tho the hours stated a 430pm close time. I left a message and the call was returned on monday morning. I was corrected by the office that my appointment was to have been at 3 and when I didnt arrive, they closed. I asked why they did not call and was told quote " we don;t call". so, I drove from downtown to east memphis during friday afternoon traffic for nothing. plus, the receptionist never apologized for my inconvenience. so I cannot rate the doctors, but the office staff customer service skills were very poor.

Staff was very friendly. Dr Ashbery took time to hear my story. I feel he offered me a honest realistic prognosis. He established an immediate solution as well as plans for long term care of my feet.

Saw Dr. Shainberg on Monday for an ingrown toenail that has bothered me for 7 months. Call them that Monday and they got me in the same day. If it had not been for my huge big toe taking forever to numb would've been out in 10 minutes tops. Very good at explaining everything step he will take to make sure you understand what he's doing. Highly recommend him. Thank you doc.
