About Me
As an orthpedic hand and upper extremity surgeon, I first like to understand how my patients’ medical issues affect their lives, including everything from their job to their hobbies. I spend some time understanding the history of their presenting problem and then after a careful examination, I try to diagnose the problem. In my practice, it is important to me that patients understand their diagnosis, so that together we can have an informed discussion of how to best address their problem.
I find the hand and upper extremity to be a biomechanical wonder. As a prior engineer, the delicate and meticulous interplay between the bones, ligaments, muscles, tendons and nerves fascinates me. In addition to helping patients, I also take pleasure in teaching what I know and sharing my experiences with the next generation of doctors and orthopedic surgeons. Finally, it is important to me that I contribute to the advancement of my field by performing research to continue to better understand the intricacies of the hand and arm for future patient care.
In my free time, I enjoy working on home projects, exercising and relaxing with my family.

Very nice and helpful
Dr. Goyal took his time to learn about what led to my injury, and explained what options I had for treatment while explaining all potential outcomes of surgery. The time and care Dr. Goyal showed immediately developed a trust. Once we aligned a surgery bring the selected treatment, Dr .

Everything has been good.
Listens well and is very thorough
I felt very unheard by the doctor. I felt he did not evaluate my injury or hear my full symptoms. I felt he had tunnel vision on only my first comment and dismissed the rest. I left the appointment feeling that I was not well diagnosed and in need of a second opinion to be sure my injury has been thoroughly evaluated to rule out torn ligaments or other factors than just of a bone is broken.
He was good but I felt he assumed I knew more than I did about my injury. I realized there are no finite answers to some of my questions but I felt there could have been more suggestions/guidance. I don't think he really understood what I do and how the Injury/healing Interacts/affects me/my job on a daily basis.
They attended to me very well.
Staff & dr. were excellent.
Dr. Goyal is the quint essential medical professional; exceptional at this craft! He saved the functioning of my left hand/arm!
Excellent and professional treatment.
Dr. Goyal was exceptional in his helpfulness. After his initial interview he ordered x-rays. His description of findings and my treatment options were precise, logical and easy to understand. I opted for injections which he administered immediately. These have already begun to provide relief of my significant hand and wrist arthritis. Dr. Goyal assured me of his continued availability as I consider either repeat injections or surgery at a later time. I feel very confident in Dr. Goyal's expertise.
Everything was positive!
Dr. Goyle is awesome. Listens and hears my concerns. If and when I need another joint replacement, he will definitely be my guy!

Dr asked me if I thought my wrist was dislocated. I told him I was not a doctor and do not read X-rays. So he ordered an X-ray of my other wrist and compared the two. Decided it wasn't dislocated.
Dr Goyal is is the best!
Good
Didn't seem to get my larger concern about my long term concerns re: my scar.
He was very courteous, friendly and made me feel comfortable about the whole procedure. During the procedure he kept explaining each step.
