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.

Mr Armstrong has been my surgeon since 2017,he is quiet simply amazing, both my hands have required various procedures to help regain normal function. Dan is always lovely and will go out of his way to ensure you are listened too and receive the highest quality of care, Dan's supporting teams are also excellent. If your lucky he may even sing for you. In the many years that I have sought out help for my condition I have never felt so supported, listened to or treated with the level of care and respect that Mr armstrong provides.

I had carpal tunnel release surgery on my right-hand in October and the relief has been amazing. The care I received from Mr Armstrong was excellent. The procedure was thoroughly explained to me beforehand and all my questions answered. Mr Armstrong is very friendly, knowledgable and instantly puts you at ease, I would highly recommend.

After seeing Mr Armstrong for Carpal Tunnel initially, he also performed an additional procedure to correct thumb positioning which i am super happy with. Great communication and care throughout
