Dr. Silver earned his B.S. degree from Michigan State University in Zoology and his D.P.M. degree (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine) from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. After completing his post-graduate training in the Cleveland area he moved to the Twin Cities to begin private practice in St. Louis Park at the Westwood Foot Clinic in 1982, and at the Osseo Foot Clinic in 1989. In the fall of 2010, Dr. Silver combined these two clinics into the new, much larger, modern and up-to-date “Westwood Foot Clinic” in Golden Valley.
He is an active member of the:
- American Podiatric Medical Association

Over the years he has been a speaker for the American Diabetes Association of Minnesota, podiatrist for the Twin Cities Marathon (which he has run himself), Senior Center speaker’s bureau, worked with the National Indian Health Service in northern Minnesota and Clinical Adjunct Professor of Podiatric Medicine. “I really enjoy working with and getting to know my patients and truly care about the quality of care provided. It gives me great pride and satisfaction to be able to help those who trust me with their foot care!”
Ella – Insurance Specialist
“I began working for Dr. Silver in 1995 after moving here from Moldova (part of the former Soviet Union) where I received my degree and worked as a Civil Engineer. I am the insurance and business office manager of the clinic and the person to talk to if you have any insurance or payment questions or problems. I enjoy working with people and the challenges of organizing the insurance and billing for the clinic.”
RoxAnne – Receptionist & Scheduling Coordinator
“I joined the team at the Westwood Foot Clinic in July, 2020, prior to this having worked for another podiatrist for 17 years, until he retired. I feel really honored to be working with this truly professional and caring doctor and staff. I consider myself to be a “real people person” and enjoy working with and talking to the many wonderful people that come to this clinic for care…and like to throw in some fun here and there too.”
Victoria – Medical Assistant
“I began working for Dr. Silver in 2008 after moving here from Moldova (part of the former Soviet Union). Upon graduating from Medical Institute of MN as a Medical Assistant I became Dr. Silver’s medical assistant and patient care educator. We work as a team in taking care of our patients and have really made a difference in some of our patient’s lives.”
