About James E Moyer

Biography/ Philosophy of Care

Dr. James (Jed) Moyer is one of only a handful of non-operative pediatric orthopedists in the nation. Dr. Moyer evaluates, diagnoses, and treats clubfoot, gait abnormalities, hip dysplasia, limb pain, and many other pediatric musculoskeletal conditions. He is board certified in pediatrics



Dr. Moyer earned his medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, completed a general pediatric residency at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, and then a Fellowship in Non-operative Pediatric Orthopedics here at Children’s Orthopedics of Louisville in 2014. He has been with the group since.



Dr. Moyer’s mission is to provide optimal musculoskeletal evaluation and treat as many patients as possible with nonsurgical care. He attempts to bridge any gaps that may exist between primary care and a subspecialty and treat ‘the whole patient’



Dr. Moyer is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness, and the Pediatric Research in Sports Medicine Society. He is married to Dr. Sarah Moyer, M.D., currently the Director of the Health Department for Louisville Metro. They have 3 boys and are expecting their first girl this march. When he is away from the office, he enjoys playing basketball, guitar, and spending time with his family. He played 4 years of Div III college football at Moravian College in Pennsylvania, and remains a die hard Philadelphia Eagles fan.

    We only had to wait because records from another office were needed. Dr. Moyer was very thorough with his exam and at explaining his findings and the treatment plan. He gave multiple opportunities to ask questions and even reminded me that we could reach out through mychart if I thought of a question. He was very patient and had an awesome bedside manner.

    We love Dr Moyer. It helps that we keep getting good news, but even if it wasn't, we feel loved, cared for, seen, and intentionally directed in the way that is best for our child. I couldn't be more pleased or more grateful. This scary thing was the best possible scenario and it is because of who Dr Moyer is and how he invested in us. It made all the difference!
