Mr Daniel Armstrong

Written by a patient at Royal Derby Hospital

I saw Mr Dan Armstrong with a dislocated, fractured and badly infected right thumb after a fall from a ladder. I had been treated elsewhere for an open wound for two months, which wouldn't heal. At Pulvertaft Dan took swift action and operated on my thumb within two days. My thumb, although now a lot shorter and without a tendon, is back in action thanks to his skill and care. He is very easy to talk to, really cares and is very professional without being stuffy. I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me. Alan.

Mr Armstrong is friendly, polite and listens to what you have to say about symptoms and problems you are experiencing. He has a genuine manner, clearly wanting to get to the cause of your medical symptoms. I felt comfortable explaining what I was experiencing and the additional referral appointments he suggested be carried out to eliminate/confirm possible diagnosis came through very quickly. I await my follow up appointment to see Mr Armstrong when additional test have been completed. I most definitely recommend Mr Armstrong as a Consultant.

Dan was a key part of the team at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford where I was admitted in January 2015 and operated on by him and Ian Mcnab.I was so fortunate to have two such expert surgeons look after me and I could not have wished for better care both in terms of skill, care and every other attribute. Five months later I am progressing very well Sally Collier

I recently broke my thumb playing hockey. I was hit very hard by the ball and the X-rays showed that the break was quite a bad/complicated one near the second joint. In the initial prognosis I was warned that because the break was at the joint and the number of small fragments (bit of a jigsaw), it may not be possible to return the thumb to its previous state and that there was a possibility of having to fuse the joint into a certain position. I had an operation to fix my thumb 2 weeks ago, which Dr Armstrong carried out. Its only early days, but so far I couldn't be more pleased! Prior to the operation Dr Armstrong and his assistant explained clearly what they were going to try to do and roughly how they would do it in terms I could easily understand. They answered all my questions and satisfied any concerns I had. After the operation, Dr Armstrong came round to explain how he'd thought it had gone and that he was personally pleased. He showed me the X-rays of the fix, which showed he'd done a great job of putting my jigsaw puzzle of a thumb back together and that the joint should still work nearly as well as it did before. I don't think I'll be risking playing hockey again, but I am extremely grateful to Dr Armstrong and he extended team or ensuring I can get back to doing everything else.
