Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great experience!
Dr Hoyal is so kind, gentle and knowledgeable. Every time I’ve been there it has been a good experience. I trust him.

Chronic Ingrown toenail
After seeing a different podiatrist for over a year and nothing has changed. Decided to go see Dr. Hoyal. Best decision ever! I only did he treating toenail. He looked at my whole foot and clipped all my nails and took out. I didn’t even know there. Very gentle and kind and thorough. Told me my options. I am confident that he will resolve my issues. Great experience! Would recommend.

New Patient
I am a new patient to Dr. Hoyal.. He was caring, professional, knowledgeable, and took the time necessary to address my questions and concerns. He explained things thoroughly and give me the pros and cons of different potential treatments for the foot problems that I had. I left feeling that I had received the care that I needed, and that I could be confident in his recommendations and the care that he provided me.

Awesome service and Doctor
I had a great experience today with Dr. Hoyal and all of the staff working with him. I was greeted by a very kind receptionist and taken back to an exam room by a couple of very friendly nurses who made sure I was comfortable and answered all of my questions before the doctor came in. Dr. Hoyal was also very nice and also answered all my questions and concerns about my ingrown toenails that have been bugging me for awhile now. He then treated the problem area with a future plan of action if needed. All in all I had a great experience at Dr. Hoyal’s office and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you!!

Great doctor!
I have been going to Dr Hoyal for over 20 years and he has always been able to diagnosis and solve any problem with my feet. Whether the problem has required surgery (successful) or something very minor, he is always patient and compassionate. I highly recommend him.

So glad I made an appt!
Everyone at this office was kind and thorough. The front office receptionist was so sweet to me when I realized I’d shown up without my necessary documents. The assistant was super sweet and took great notes. Dr. Hoyal was informative and gave me a few options for how to best address my issues. I was seen quickly and had basically no wait time, even though I even had X-rays done. I’m so glad my PCM referred me here!

Ingrown curling toe nail
Doc Hoyal explained my big toe condition well. The nail curles along the edge. He has removed the ingrown nail twice. I have total trust in Doc Hoyal that he will do what's needed to correct this. Minor surgery is next!

Outstanding Provider
I have seen Dr Hoyle for many years but had not for the last three because my feet have been doing great. I had a ball on the bottom of my foot that had been bothering me for several months so I made an appointment to come in. Dr Hoyle explained everything to me as to why I had this as well as asking me how my foot was doing from the previous neuroma surgery, how my toe was from the bunion surgery and injections that he had done for plantar Faciitis. He always takes the time to listen to you no matter what you're talking about and always answers with a great smile. Not too many doctors have that type of bedside manner that actually care about you and your problem so I applaud him for that. I would recommend him to anyone. I work in the health care field and refer and make appointments for our patients to see him because he is excellent 10/10 I give him. Staff are friendly , office is clean and up to date. Office in easy to find location.

Thorough and caring
Dr. Hoyal’s exam is a careful review of symptoms and pain. I liked that he chose a direct but simple procedure first, rather than dramatic surgery.

I have been seeing Dr. Hoyal for years. He is very professional, courteous, competent and takes the time to listen to you then recommend the best treatment for your condition. He surgically removed a bony growth off my left heal which was very successful. I had a great recovery with no complications and the follow up exams were very good. I highly recommend Dr. Hoyal!

My experience at Hoyal Podiatry has been so positive! Dr. Hoyal uses careful, gentle treatment on my feet and toenails which were very tender & problematic and a source of embarrassment. He has also treated my family members whom I referred to him, and they were also delighted with his foot care & recommendations,, Both Dr.. Hoyal and Olivia, an assistant, provide great toenail trimming that has improved my wretched toenail situation . His entire staff are cordia,l and helpful which makes my visits to their office pleasant ones. My foot problems have greatly improved under Dr. Hoyal's care for which I am very grateful!
