"Dr. Armstrong has been my OB since the mid 90's. He loves his work, and it's evident when he takes care of his patients. I feel fortunate that in an era when doctors don't always have time to get to know their patients, Dr. A is like an old friend. He's seen me finish grad school, get married and he safely delivered my twins 2 1/2 years ago. "

"Very personable and professional. As a new patient, he spent almost 15 minutes with me in his office after the exam discussing his medical philosophy, answering my questions, and providing me with several recommendations of other physicians for various family members. I think he is GREAT and will be a loyal patient of his going forward. The other doctors in his practice seemed very nice and were also highly rated. "

"Dr. Bannon is great. She made me feel comfortable in situations that I would probably never feel comfortable and that says a lot! She is genuinely caring and thoughtful and takes her time talking to you and answering any questions you may have. I randomly picked her off a "find a doctor" site and couldn't be happier! She definitely knows her stuff and is a very sweet person. She gets an absolute recommendation from me! "

"First-rate OB/GYN. Dr. Armstrong's staff, particularly the nurses, are also top notch. They are VERY friendly, helpful, and willing to go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend this practice. I've met the other doctors too in this practice and they are just as good. You get to stay with the doctor you prefer, however, which is what I am looking for. Dr. Armstrong was with me throughout my pregnancy and visited me at the hospital almost every day I was there (almost 5 days!) If I had a question during after hours, the on-call OB from the practice was very good at getting back to me. GREAT practice. "
