Dr. Hoy diagnosed my plantar fasciitis and got me on a path back to running.” -Mark P., 8/11/2022
• “After my third visit, I’m still just as impressed with this office as I was after my first visit. I don’t feel any pressure to try things like corticosteroids and surgery which I am not comfortable with at this point. His assessment of my custom shoe orthotics from a different doctor determined that they are still working for me. He is not out to sell me a new pair just because of their age or source. With the attention to the small details extended even into the billing as I was informed of $20 that I had overpaid without knowing it on a previous visit!” -Laura D., 7/31/2022
• “We would like to thank Dr Hoy for his incredibly high level of care and professionalism on the diagnosis and treatment on my daughter’s recent foot injury.

He started with thorough office exam on her injured foot, listened to my daughter’s every concern and answered all questions attentively, then followed up with us consistently with instructions in great details.

• “Very polite and professional, top-notch.” -Jeffrey G., 7/13/2022
• “A simple and complex Thank You for caring for my feet and teaching me how to take better care of them. I’ve only seen you once about a year ago, but will spread your name far and wide. I was sure I’d have to have the painful process of getting an ingrown toenail dug out. Or even two. But you experimented with extra cleaning and trimming and Voila! I continue to give my feet extra care and have not had a problem since. Your noninvasive ways are greatly appreciated. Your knowledge that you shared I greatly appreciate too. I thought that I’d never leave my former foot doctor, but….well…..you’ve got me. Ava, Thank you for being so kind and easy to work with from scheduling an appointment through to the billing. You two make an excellent team. Thank you both! Enjoy your summer!” -Susan R., 7/10/2022

• “After years of trying to figure out the issue with my foot, Dr. Hoy gave me an incredibly thorough explanation as to what is wrong, plus a 4 step treatment plan to alleviate the discomfort. He listened attentively, asked detailed questions, and seemed truly interested in helping me figure out the best ways to move forward. He gave me several options, recommending the least expensive/invasive approach, and then told me what to look for, what to expect, and next stages if the first approach doesn’t work. He was extremely helpful and entirely professional. Thanks, Seattle Foot and Ankle Center!!!” -Rhyan HL, 6/8/2022
• “I will recommend Dr. HOY to my friends with Foot trouble. Contact Ava at Dr. Hoy’s office for the foot problems you have and set your appointment today” -Catherine C., 5/5/2022
• “Dr Hoy provides concise information sheets written by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons on topics of concern in his waiting rooms. I was able to educate myself and formulate my questions before our meeting. He cleared up some confusion that I had from other podiatrists who don’t listen as thoroughly and explain things as well as Dr Hoy. I appreciated being able to see models of the types of orthotics that Dr Hoy molds himself and to see the foot anatomy photo on the wall to get more of an idea as to what happens during the hammertoe surgery. The classical music that plays in the background is calming when one is in pain and uncertain as to what step to take next in handling a complex chronic foot challenge that also includes both plantar fasciitis and a neuroma. Dr Hoy isn’t pushy about any of the services that he provides. Ava does a great job with gathering all the paperwork and taking care of the business details in a friendly efficient fashion.” -Laura D., 3/7/2022

As my new Podiatrist, the exam and attention to my feet was excellent and when we discussed two other medical issues I was dealing with on my legs, he was also able to treat those and teach me more to address those problems on my own. His extensive medical training has also been in other specialities and he has some years of experience in those too. So I was very impressed by Dr. Hoy’s depth of knowledge and experience and look forward to our ongoing treatment plan. Of course, I should also compliment Ava, his office administrator. They have an efficient system and she is excellent and so friendly too. Dr Hoy and Ava are truly 5 star.” -Gennie T., 6/25/2021

Lifetime discomfort taken care of just like that. Dr. Hoy was super professional and easy-going, and Ava at the front desk was also professional and thorough with check-in, check-out, billing, insurance, etc. I really appreciated that she explained everything she was doing or reviewing related to insurance, as usually offices aren’t transparent about it. I also had a post-op appointment a few days later and had an identically great experience. Love this place, will go back with any future foot problems.” -Chelsea S., 8/11/2020

I have confidence in his patient care competencies.” -Larry H., 9/28/2019
• “I can only say that I found Ava (Dr. Hoy’s receptionist) to be extremely pleasant and efficient. I was very thankful to have gotten an appointment and to have been able to fill out the forms prior to my coming to Dr. Hoy’s office. I was unable to fax the info so I arrived earlier. Ava greeted me in a friendly manner and let me know Dr. Hoy was running a little late. He was seeing a patient and another was waiting who was mentally challenged. Ava was very patient and kind to her the whole time. When my husband and I went into Dr. Hoy’s exam room, he was friendly and professional. While I had experienced this same problem before, he asked me the proper questions, examined my foot thoroughly and suggested x-rays of my foot. After looking at the films, he decided to give me a shot of Cortisone after being doubly certain I wasn’t allergic and prepared me for the method he would use and the feelings I could experience. He made sure to get the needle to the affected spots. He informed me of possible reactions and gave me an information sheet about Cortisone. I have seen several podiatrists over my 66 years and Dr. Hoy was the most professional and gentle of all of them. I would not only recommend him to all others but also see him again for any other foot problems myself. He is a credit to the medical profession!” -Cindy H., 9/11/2019

I felt extremely cared for and like I will be able to make progress on my problem before I see him again.

Yes, I recommend him to others.” -Pocky C., 10/17/2018

• “Finding a doctor’s office with not only a phenomenal doctor, but an awesome receptionist is nearly impossible these days. But that’s exactly what I encountered at Dr. Hoy’s podiatry practice. I had come in for my 1:30pm Thursday appointment on Wednesday by mistake. When my mistake had been discovered by Ava, Dr. Hoy’s receptionist, she went to work to immediately to get me seen that day by doing some creative rescheduling, instead of having me come back all the way downtown the next day. I was warmly greeted by Dr. Hoy and was impressed by the number of diplomas and letters of thanks that hung on the wall. Dr. Hoy took the time to really listen to me and my concerns regarding the issue with my foot and did not make me suffer in pain needlessly while performing the necessary aspiration procedure. He really went out of his way to make sure I was sufficiently medicated and seated comfortably for the entire procedure, asking me repeatedly along the way if I was okay and if I needed to take a break. He talked me through the process, explaining everything he was doing as he was doing it, answering every one of my questions thoroughly, and making conversation with me to keep my mind off of what he was doing. His 18 years of experience shines through by way of his excellent bedside manner and professionalism. Generally speaking, I try to avoid going to the doctor because, it seems to me, that most doctors these days are not worried about the welfare of their patients, but more about the amount of money they can make. Let me assure you that Dr. Hoy DOES NOT fall into the latter category. I can say this with certainty due to the fact that I have Medicare, not private insurance, and because I was treated like someone who paid cash. Also, I rarely ever publicly post a review because I don’t believe that most people deserve such sterling recommendations. But this is one that is definitely warranted. It is my opinion Dr. Hoy’s practice is what the standard should be judged by. Thank you, Ava and Dr. Hoy. For once, I can finally say, “I’m looking forward to my next appointment” and really mean it.” -Shellan H., 7/12/2018

Me and my feet are certainly on the right path so to speak!” -Deborah, 3/8/2018
• “Dr. Hoy and I started off on a bad foot: the one that I injured while running. When it came to my injury, he didn’t tip-toe around the issue, and he didn’t cut corners just for kicks. The doctor hit the ground running with his diagnosis. I haven’t walked a mile in Dr. Hoy’s shoes, but I trust him. With years of clinical experience, he certainly has a leg to stand on. I would recommend Dr. Hoy’s practice to a friend because podiatry offers an ample supply of puns and dad jokes. Also, he’ll fix your foot.” -Cody R., 3/6/2018

He listened attentively to my concerns as I explained the problems that the current condition of my feet present to my active lifestyle. He was very good at not only taking immediate action to relieve some problems with current pain but also explaining what he was doing, why, what the source of my problem(s) are and his recommendations about how to go forward in addressing and, hopefully, alleviating or “curing” both recent problems and long term ones. It is my understanding that he specializes in diabetic foot and nail care and health.

He immediately addressed my problem with a multi-step treatment plan, in addition to making sure I was set up to function correctly on a next-day vacation. He was patient and after a barrage of questions, repeated multiple times “what other questions do you have for me?”. It’s nice, in a time when Dr./patient face time often feels rushed, to meet a Dr. who takes the time to listen to you and asks for your participation. Thank you, Dr. Hoy!” -Christa, 11/14/2016

I felt valued, listened to, but more important, I felt like my broken foot was assessed and treated well. He explained a lot to me (funny ’cause from what I heard in the ER weeks earlier I thought it was broke in an entirely different place, and based on the pain, I thought that was odd, now it makes sense!).

We just can’t escape our feet! They are our foundation, literally, our main contact with the earth itself, and are so important. Of course, we take them so for granted until there is a problem, and boy, then all hell breaks loose! I should have come to you sooner, but I wanted to give it time to see if it was going to get better. But it just progressively got worse and worse. Thank you again, for your kindness, patience and excellent treatment.”
