Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Norshae Robinson.
Dr. Robinson is a board-certified podiatrist who practices in Jacksonville FL. Quite succinctly, she is a doctor who specializes in treating problems that affect the feet. Her practice, Meridian Podiatry, was started to fulfill the need for high-quality foot and ankle care in the Jacksonville area.
Dr. Robinson earned her Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and completed three years of residency training in podiatric medicine and surgery at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York.
She is passionate about giving back to the community and believes everyone should have access to quality podiatric care. She has been consistently involved in community outreach initiatives from the time of her undergraduate studies at the Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, Tennessee until present.
In her free time, Dr. Robinson enjoys exploring the beautiful Jacksonville area with her husband and their two adorable dogs, Bailey and Brewser.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Each step in my medical training brought unique challenges and taught me lessons that I needed for starting my practice, Meridian Podiatry. Medical school taught me the importance of seeing the bigger picture in any journey and prioritizing accordingly. I often had to sacrifice in other areas of my life in order to dedicate time to acquiring all the necessary medical knowledge. After medical school, I completed three years of residency training in NY. Residency training is where I learned the clinical and surgical skills I have now to effectively diagnose and treat my patients. However, training had many overwhelming and exhausting moments, where I learned the importance of knowing when to ask for help. After residency, I worked as an associate podiatrist for four years before starting Meridian Podiatry. Starting my own practice has been the biggest challenge thus far in my journey. Although I had all the clinical knowledge and skill to treat my patients, I had to learn how to operate a business and successfully manage employees. Thankfully, many of the lessons from my earlier years have come in handy. I am constantly prioritizing tasks, seeking knowledge through books and online classes from various business schools, and taking wise counsel from those with more experience who can help. My constant motivation as a podiatrist is my commitment to ensuring patients from all backgrounds receive high quality, affordable podiatric care.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I started the practice Meridian Podiatry to fulfill the need for high-quality foot and ankle care in the Jacksonville area. In my practice, I provide podiatric care for patients of all ages, including using minimally invasive surgical techniques and regenerative medicine. My particular focus is the management of complicated lower extremity wounds and limb salvage in patients with diabetes.
My practice specializes in treating more than thirty different problems that people have with their feet. The most popular foot conditions that we treat are Plantar warts, Bunions, Hammertoes, Diabetic ulcers, and Plantar fasciitis.

In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Podiatry is rapidly growing and evolving. As our population ages and more people live with chronic medical conditions like diabetes and kidney disease, an increasing number of individuals are needing Podiatric care. Additionally, the field has evolved in the services we offer, particularly in the area of cosmetics. We now frequently offer services such as fat pad augmentation and dermal fillers to help relieve painful corns and calluses as well as minimally invasive bunion and hammertoe surgery where patients can often walk right away. Furthermore, we have newly developed technology such as Swift wart therapy for plantar warts, stem cell injections, and platelet rich plasma (PRP) for sports related injuries such as achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. These services have all grown in popularity in recent years with remarkable results.
At Meridian Podiatry, we strive to provide comprehensive and cutting edge care to get our patients back on their feet. Visit our website at www.meridianpodiatryclinic.com for more details.
