Roy Moeller, DPM, FACFAS

Dr. Moeller has been practicing podiatry since 1986 following his completion of his surgical residency at the Windom Area Hospital in Windom, Minnesota. He graduated from the William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago, Illinois after attaining his bachelor's and master's degrees from Michigan State University. He is board certified in Foot and Ankle Surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery. One of Dr. Moeller's specialties is bunion surgery. Over the years he has perfected his technique so most bunionectomies can be performed with the patient fully weight bearing on the surgerized foot postoperatively. He has been using screw fixation for a number of years. This not only allows for more stability and compression of the cut bone but the foot can be bathed about a week after surgery. A bunionectomy does not have to be a painful procedure. Many of Dr. Moeller's bunionectomy patients have little or no pain afterwards with proper postoperative care.

Dr. Moeller grew up in Michigan and is a diehard Spartan sports fan. He resides in the Twin Cities with his wife and dog. They have two adult children and two grand dogs. Dr. Moeller is active in his community, looks forward to his annual Dive Conference, and loves spending time with his family.

Dr. Moeller retired from the office on April 27, 2021.
