Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Couldn't Care Less
My wife has been battling cancer for the last two years. She was referred to Dr. Armstrong for an inner ear issue. Dr. Armstrong had an attitude from the time that he entered the room. Very arrogant and condescending. He made the comment to my wife "I don't know why they made this so important". I don't see anything in your ears or nose. I'll order tests. He actually was going to call the referring doctor and tell them there was no reason for the appointment. There was no one in the waiting room. I wouldn't take my pets to this man. How has he stayed in practice this many years with this attitude. If you have an issue go somewhere else.

Rude and judging. When trying to explain my dysautonomia to him he cut me off and was just flat out rude. Stick to your specialty and stop being judgmental to patients as I’m not the only one who feels this way in my family. If you have an anxiety disorder I’d recommend going to a different doctor.

Wait times every single time are over an hour. These are early morning appointments, how do you fall that far behind before 9:00am. Stop over booking!

Very insensitive towards me, hardly listened to my concerns. He never called me by my name which made me feel like just a blade of grass in a meadow to him. The nurse with him was just as uncaring. Very sad experience, if you are nervous in medical places as I am, I would look elsewhere.

Dr. Armstrong creates a very comfortable, reassuring atmosphere. I trust his opinion and abilities. Usually my wait time is reasonable (no more than 20 mins total), but yesterday I was in the waiting area for 30 mins past my appt time then 40 mins in the exam area before he was available to see me.

He saved my life. He found a lump in my neck that turned out to be an early cancer. He was very thorough but cares a lot about his patients.
