We can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Hoel. I have very complex vascular problems in my right leg. This was our first visit with Dr. Hoel. My wife and I were totally impressed with his knowledge and understanding of my situation. We just moved here from the NY area. All of my records were from NYU Langone medical center and Dr. Hoel had reviewed them completely. He explained everything clearly and checked on procedures done at Northwest Community hospital in an emergency two days after we moved here on May 21st. His resident spent at least 45 minutes going over details before we were seen by Dr. Hoel who then spent a long time with us, examining me and explaining everything. My wife and I agree that he is one of the smartest most impressive doctors we have seen in my long history of medical problems at another top notch hospital in NY. In addition, he is very kind with a great bedside manner

Dr Andrew Hoyle from our first meeting was professional yet very warm n friendly. He explained his opinions in a clear and understandable way. Every question I asked was answered. His manner puts you at ease and that he truly listens n thinks your questions are important. My son and I were very impressed and thought his experience and incredible knowledge made him the best choice for my surgery. After my surgery, he made sure to see me and how I was feeling and to answer any questions. Dr Hoel makes you feel you have a new friend.
