About Antony Merendino

My name is Antony Merendino, DPM, and I am a clinical assistant professor at the University of Florida Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. I earned my medical degree from Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine in Miami. Following medical school, I completed my residency in podiatric surgery at Kern Hospital for Special Surgery in Warren, Michigan.

My inspiration for becoming a physician started when I was young. I experienced the battle my grandparents had with the effects of diabetes, which eventually led to the loss of limbs and life. This formed my desire and focus to reduce the effects of diabetes and other diseases of the foot and ankle.

As a physician, it is my goal to treat my patients and educate them on the conditions they face. When my patients understand why a disease is affecting their foot and ankle, they become more involved in their care plan.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family, biking, hiking and enjoying the Florida weather and the beautiful beaches the state has to offer.

May 13, 2026
Great bed side manner


May 13, 2026
I may have been influenced by two earlier medical visits to UF health, neither of which was satisfactory. That is , my experience of the visit with Dr. Merindino and his assistants might seem spectacularly good in part because it is set against less satisfactory experiences! That said, he made eye contact with me and with his Helpers as a checking in to see if we understood him. He created a narrative about my foot pain based on the two things I said that I thought were important about my pain. To me, his presentation conveyed confidence and not arrogance, CARE but not being catered to, and a generally carrying forward fresh air encouragement.


May 12, 2026
I hate he’s bout to retire in 3 years. He’s the best .


May 12, 2026
Had an emergency where I had a heavy box dropped on my big toe and it needed looking at and he got me in within a few days to treat it.


May 11, 2026

April 30, 2026
Personable and has helped to resolve issues.


April 30, 2026
He cares about his patience and he’s very careful and how he sticks the needle in you. I like it when he freezes it the spot all doctors should do that so that’ll make their patience offer. He’s very good.

Best bedside manners I've experienced in a long time. Very polite, clear explanation for every process he took me through. He comes highly recommended by me.


April 28, 2026
He’s the only podiatrist at UF so there’s no other option.
He didn’t remember my case, thought I was on prescription meds & I’m not, gave me a diagnosis of neuropathy that he didn’t mention before. Sat far away, I had my shoes off for no reason. Didn’t shake my hand. I felt dismissed. Spent less than 5 mins at bedside.

The ONLY problem is that there is a LONG WAIT to get an appointment with Dr. Merendino. He is booked way out! It's not easy to get an appointment with him, because he has no openings.
