I was lucky enough to be referred to the care of Mr Armstrong in late 2015. I had an incomplete trigger finger release and poor movement. From the minute I walked into his office he put me at my ease. Shook my hand and treated me with upmost respect. He sent me for intensive physio in the hope it would ease my symptoms. Unfortunately it didn't. Early this year Mr Armstrong requested a nerve conduction study to see if there were also issues with returning carpal tunnel. The results showed that I did indeed have that too. He asked me if I would like him to operate on my hand at The Royal Derby hospital. But warned me there would be a long wait. On the 13th November I was lucky enough to receive a cancellation. When I arrived the nursing staff listened to all of my concerns, and passed these on to Mr Armstrong. He came to see me and put me at my ease yet again. He has a very calming nature. I was given a nerve block in theatre and taken in for my procedure. He chatted away to me throughout and explained everything that he was doing. From the first incision to the final stitch. He even bandaged my wound. He also told me he wanted me to see him the following week as he wanted me to start physio straight away. I think even he was surprised by my huge smile when I walked into his consultation room. I had full movement of my hand. And the scars were looking amazing. I cannot thank him enough for his patience, kindness and extremely caring attitude towards me. A true gentleman. And a pleasure to be his patient.
