Biography
Specialty care is a strength at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I try to collaborate with my colleagues to provide the best neurological and neuromuscular clinical care and research options for my patients. I treat my patients as I would a family member, and I work hard to solve and treat their neurological conditions. I develop meaningful relationships with my patients by recognizing their value as people rather than just their diagnoses.
As a neurologist, I specialize in neuromuscular disorders and electromyography. I find the nervous system fascinating and want to help patients who have neurological and neuromuscular conditions.
I enjoy the combination of academic and clinical environments here at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center. This balance optimizes the quality of our patients’ care. It is a pleasure to work with the medical students and residents. They help provide a team environment and reenergize my passion for medicine.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/3/2025, Dr. Hoyle has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Dr Hoyle always listens to my symptoms carefully. This visit he was very reassuring that my concerns were real. It took me aback. It never occurred to me that they were not real.
I found Dr. Hoyle to be extremely professional, knowledgeable and concerned with my health condition, as well as willing to help me find relief with his assistance.
He was very concerned about my health
Good
All good
Listened to everything and came up with a plan to help
Dr Hoyle was very kind, compassionate and seemed extremely knowledgeable about my health issues and suggested further tests, referral to hematology and medication. I would highly recommend him.
He is always very prompt. He is not in a hurry, explains things clearly and answers all my questions. He also is helpful answering My Chart questions I may have.
Dr. Hoyle listened to me intently about my symptoms and administered many tests to determine my problem for certain and the prognosis of my neuropathy. He seems like a very knowledgeable and caring doctor.
Excellent care & very concerning.
Always excellent at listening and communicating to make things the best they can be given my situation.
I've always had good experiences with my provider. He listens patiently to my concerns, answers my questions and dialogs with me. I appreciate his genuine care for me and my health. I can't imagine going to a different provider for my neuromuscular disease!
Listened
Took time to listen, explain and give explanation about my health care
Very thorough exam by the residents and Dr Hoyle. They listen very well and take time to explain.
Dr. Hoyle was very attentive and listened to everything I was saying. He arrived at an acceptable solution.
Dr. Hoyle is knowledgeable, kind, caring, concerned about my condition and total health. He is a great Neurologist in my book. I am fortunate to have him as my physician
Alsome best there is
I appreciated that Dr. Hoyle took his time and the visit was not rushed. I was glad we developed two new treatment ideas, including one idea that had never been suggested in over 4 1/2 years working with six specialties. I was frustrated at times with the conversation, as Dr. Hoyle and the resident both implied I came to the wrong place for treatment. I simply wanted neurology input since I have a neurological condition, so my decision always seemed sound to me. I was also very confused when he brought up a "dull, aching abdominal pain", when my pain is very thoroughly documented as burning and stabbing pelvic pain. The visit was definitely not great, but not terrible either. Afterward, he was responsive/helpful via messaging. I guess I'm somewhere in the middle on this visit.
Polite straight to the point!
Good listener, care and has genuine concern.
Love Dr Hoyle. Sincere, caring and smart.
Professional
The whole appt felt very rushed , the nurse assistant was very nice but only saw the doctor for maybe 10 minutes , didn't really get to talk about the health issues been having , he did what felt like a very rushed test ruled out everything without any tests, he mixed up what side I was having more issues on when he was talking so I felt like he wasn't really listening and then he several times made note that I needed to make lifestyle adjustments to lose weight and blamed all of my issues on anxiety which Isnt why I came In.I left feeling kind of upset and insulted.
Good experience, friendly and professional
All good it was difficult
Dr. Hoyle is a good person.
Listened to my concerns and cared about trying to find an answer to my problems
Listened to everything I had to say
Very good experience. Have no complaints, physician is very knowledgeable and I wish we had more time to talk.
Dr Hoyle has good listening skills and tried to understand and capture every symptom I described.
