Mr Armstrong spent time assessing both my physical limitations and what I wanted to be capable of doing to create the optimal plan. Whilst the NHS had said “live with it”, Mr Armstrong gave options and created solutions that meant I could regain effective use of my fingers again. He resolved an Enchondroma and scissoring of two fingers caused by breaks. He explained the procedures and importance of physio in memorable ways, and gave me confidence throughout.

On diagnosis of Osteoarthritis in both thumb bases, my options for cure or even pain relief via the NHS were very limited. I requested a private referral to Mr Armstrong. He gave me a detailed understanding of my diagnosis, and to my delight, an array of solutions. A few years of working together trying various treatments, I finally ended all of my pain with trapeziectomy surgery on both hands, the first in January 24 and second in June. Four years on I am now completely pain free (56 yrs of age I was told this is something I have to live with as part of the aging process). Mr Armstrong gave me confidence, reassurance and a new lease of pain free life. I cannot thank him and his hand therapist Katie Horton enough for their care . True dedicated professionals who are passionate about making a difference. If anyone requires a referral to a hand specialist I couldn't recommend Mr Armstrong highly enough. Just the best !

I went to see Dan Armstrong after 7 year of pain from an incident at work. I had severe pain in my hand, elbow and shoulder. I had reached a point where I couldn't bear the weight of a glass of water or use a knife and fork. Dan was very understanding and thorough with his consultation. I was given several options for treatment, with an operation as a last resort. Firstly, I opted for a steroid injection at the base of my thumb and hand therapy, also, Dan referred me to a specialist for my elbow and shoulder. Following correction for displacement in my elbow and shoulder and the steroid injection I was still in need of further intervention for my thumb/hand pain. After a year of therapy, I decided that surgery was necessary. I had a trapeziectomy , removal of the trapezium bone in the wrist. The surgery was very straight forward done as a day patient. As Dan had warned me, the recovery, initially, was very painful; however, the results have been fantastic. I now have full use of my hand, my target of being able to open a champagne bottle achieved. The scarring is minimal, regular moisturising and hot wax treatments really helped with healing and the cosmetic look of the scar. Dan is very professional, easy to talk to and knowledgeable. He is outstanding in his field of excellence.

Dr Armstrong was a great listener and talked me through all my options regarding the treatment of my De Quervains Disease. He was professional but always made me laugh. Both operations were efficient and successful. Could not have asked for a better consultant. Highly recommend.
