Dr. Armstrong & his entire staff have had their hands full with me. My brain says that I can do anything...my spine doesn't agree.They have treated me with complete respect, we have laughed, cried & i have been scolded a few times but it was for my own good.Dr. Armstrong has performed 2 of my 3 back fusions & both times over a nine year period. Both times i came out of the hospital walking much better than when going in & never got an infection.I did not personnaly require physical therapy & check-ups at 1 & 3 months started off with, " You have to be good, heal & take it easy." After my yes, I'll be good talk we laughed, looked at my new hardware on x-ray & I left feeling like I had just been to a family reunion rather than a doctor appointment.I don't trust many people...especially when it comes to me being able to walk...but, I do trust this team. They have been good to me & I am grateful for their knowledge & concern!
