Mountain View Foot & Ankle Clinic: Steven Royall, DPM

I came to Dr. Royall's office with a fully-involved fungus toenail (big toe, left foot) that hadn't so much as simply grown (not even 1/16th of an inch,) in 4 years! Efforts with other doctors, to heal this fungus (oral drugs for one year,) hadn't worked. I expected this toenail would need to be removed. Dr. Royall said my toenail would never clear up and removal was the only way to deal with the fungus. Dr. Royall was in a timing position to do that surgery right then (as opposed to returning another day for the procedure.) So I jumped at the opportunity and in about 30 minutes, my toenail was "cured"! Having one's toe anesthetized is usually a difficult and painful experience for the patient, but Dr. Royall has a method that involves a spray of cold air to mask the pain from a needle to the toeit works! I have had toenail surgeries from other doctors before, and the after-pain from those previous surgeries was completely unbearable. The after-pain from this removal surgery was sleight and a dose of Tylenol made the after-pain disappear. Yay! I had 2 recheck appointments at which, my toe was pronounced to be "looking good," and I was discharged with care instructions at the end of the second appointment. I found Dr. Royall to be thorough and professional in treating my fungus toenail, pleasant and caring, empathetic (especially with the needle to the toe), and a really nice guy. If I ever need podiatry help again, Dr. Royall will be my "go to" doctor. Thank you, Dr. Royall for taking good care of my toe. Happy Days!

Dr. Royall is a very professional and sincere Dr. After performing ingrown, toenail surgery I had many questions, and was very anxious. He gave me his personal phone to contact him with any concerns. Let me tell you this guy has a lot of patience because I contacted him several times throughout my recovery. He always informed me about my concerns quickly AND in detail. I felt in the right place here as a dancer, and a figure skater. Id recommend him to anyone who has gone through what I have. He goes above and beyond. One of the best doctors I have met.

Every time I go see Dr. Royall, he recommends a more conservative treatment to avoid going straight into surgery. He is knowledgeable and professional and has a great sense of humor. He is also great with kids and really knows how to work with them if they have to get any kind of procedure done.
