Reading some of these reviews. I wonder, how anyone would have a negative thing to say about this fabulous woman. She's so generous in every aspect. As for her staff, top notch as well. Every time I have been there, the sound of laughter is heard through the halls. Laurie, her assistant is a fun gal, very kind and professional.
I highly recommend Dr Rachel Hoyal if you have the need for a podiatrist.

I am pleased to give a 5 star review for Dr. Rachel Hoyal. She was highly recommended by the Podiatric Surgeon and the Home Health Care nurse for further care of a diabetic wound. The staff was excellent and Dr. Hoyal is a rare physician who listens and attends to her patients with great care. Very, very satisfied.

I had the absolute best experiences and outcome with both service at the office and surgery from Dr. Rachel Hoyal. I visiited her Healdsburg office and had great experiences every time. I was never left hanging or wondering about my surgery. she gave me her cell phone and I used that number on several occasions with very positive results. I highly recommend Rachel for foot surgery. Yes - she is adorable, funny and fun to visit during appointments. My surgery on both feet was a tremendous success and now I am pain free - Thank God! This surgeon is AMAZING!!!!
FLASH FORWARD 3 Years now.... I’m pain free and walking 3 miles every day now!! Best decision in my life!! My feet are perfect!!

Hello,

A couple years back I tore my plantar fascia. The first doctor I went to see told me that I would never be able to run again. She went on to describe a lifelong journey of pain and adjustments. In a similar fashion the same doctor told me that surgery would leave me in a worse place than living with the pain that I was experiencing.

I decided to seek a second opinion and this is what I found Dr. Rachel Hoyal. Rachel had a different perspective all together. She looked me in the eye and told me that she would get me running once again. Dr. Hoyal told me that together through the surgery and the correct physical therapy, I could live a fairly normal life free from the pain I had due to my torn plantar facia. She delivered on everything she had promised! I am still running, backpacking and playing soccer like others my age that have been never had planter facia issues. Dr. Rachel Hoyal has shown me a kind of care that much of today's medical professionals have forgotten by treating me as a human being and not just another person to check off boxes to get paid. She left me feeling that she genuinely cared about my well-being!

Both Drs Ralph and Rachel Hoyal are the best podiatrists in Sonoma County. They have a wonderful staff. They treat patients like family. You know when Dr Ralph is preparing for a play as you hear his wonderful singing voice throughout the office. I've been seeing them since 1990.

Her bedside matter is great, however her staff is horrid. Waste of time as in 6 months to get on surgery schedule & even a 2 month wait for 1st. Receptionsi says 1/2 hr booked & not to come, to reschedule--then her scheduler claims I had 1hr & didn't show at all, an outright lie esp. considering she spends 5 min on average with patients. Then cancels my surgery just 3 weeks prior, refuses to reschedule me even when I explain my home burned down & now claiming won't take my new insurance that I already confirmed they take, scheduler even hung up on me. Dreadful. Waste of 6 months of my life. Worst part is scheduler told me I would "have to start the process all over again" -- clearly insurance fraud there going after more premiums when my surgery is already approved to be paid by my insurance. Bought my new insurance based on them accepting it for a smooth transition in followup care & now claiming they don't take my new insurance-- more bogus lies by their scheduler. Do yourself a favor and go to another dr.

I have found Dr. Hoyal very knowledgeable and competent . Would and have recommended her. She is honest and through, and waiting in a Drs.office is expected for any Dr.
