Larry A Armstrong

I was referred to Dr. Armstrong on February 28, 2023. Today is March 28, 2023. I have yet to receive any communication from his office, in spite of leaving a message with his staff and having the referral re-sent on March 10. Yesterday, I asked to be referred to Dr. Blankenship. Today I received a call from his office and will see him April 10. Avoid the J.B. Hunt Neuroscience Institute's Brain and Spine Clinic at all costs.

Is always booked, can't get in for months later even on a doctor's referral. Went to Ozark Orthopedic urgent care . Had treatment for my herniated disk in 2weeks. Thank God for some who care.

3 hours after surgery I could feel individual hairs on my face before surgery I could feel nothing with either hand. The Dr and staff are amazing

It is the best visit I’ve had with a doctor and his PA. Dr. Armstrong is wonderful. I would recommend him to anyone that has back problems because he knows what he’s doing and he cares

The staff and Physcian's Assistant were all very nice. When you are referred to Dr Armstrong you see the PA for screening. If you are even a little over weight, don't waste your time and co-pay on going there. Also if you are a smoker, forget about it. They only want to see perfectly fit patients.

HORRiBLE customer service and uncaring medical staff and after almost 2 months of waiting non productively around Dr Armstrong’s practice to get surgery on my daughters back we are back to square one and will have more time, pain, and money to spend with another Physician. Referred to Dr Larry Armstrong for herniated discs after being in pain for 8 months with many failed therapies. She is also fully insured and should be a desirable customer. After the referral, multiple calls to check on progress, and literally a month and a half of “reviewing of her case with the team”, then finally getting to an appointment she was scheduled to see the PA Candace Harper not the surgeon. She had her get another more recent MRI and then made her wait again for an additional week. She received a call that said “you can lose weight and see if that will help or we can do surgery - call us back and let us know”. Since She has been herniated for 8 months and am in pain and can’t move - surgery seemed the best option so after attempting to contact them back with no return call for another 3 days She finally got in touch with a receptionist only to be told after being placed on hold 4 times mediating an apparent conversation with the PA Candace that Dr Armstrong wont do her surgery because of my weight (not that bad by the way) but that another Dr would. She said I wasn’t referred to that Dr I was referred to Dr Armstrong and she said She would have to start over with the other physician. NOPE - not in this practice!

Dr Larry Armstrong and his team done an outstanding job on my lumbar surgery. Very professional and intelligent crew. Thanks also to all the Nurses And personell that took care of me at Washington Regional after the procedure. You guys are #1 in my book. Thanks again.

After the referral, multiple calls to check on progress, and literally a month and a half of “reviewing of my case” - finally got an appointment but with PA Candace Harper not Dr Armstrong. They had me get another MRI and then made me wait again for another week then said you can lose weight and see if that will help or Dr Armstrong can do surgery. Called back to elect surgery only to have no return call for 3 days and finally talking to a Receptionist who passed message from PA saying that Dr Armstrong wont do the surgery but that another Dr there would - after 2 months of waiting in pain NOPE - not with this practice!

Dr. Armstrong and his team performed a discectomy on my back. I had this procedure done by a different surgeon 5 years ago. It was not a good experience so I went into this procedure absolutely terrified. The same procedure, five years ago, left me in bed crying and unable to get around for several weeks. Today it has been four days since the surgery with Dr. Armstrong. I am a little sore. That’s it. I was able to walk slowly on day one and I have been getting progressively more mobile. Today I can do everything on my own other than picking up heavy objects or bending a lot. The best part is that I woke up with NONE of the nerve pain that I had when I went under. I didn’t even remember what it felt like to feel normal. I would take this soreness and slowness over the nerve and back pain that I have been suffering from for so long. I cannot stress this enough... YOUR SURGEON MATTERS. How much pain you will be in and the healing process is directly correlated to how skilled your surgeon is! Dr. Armstrong is an incredible surgeon and I will always recommend him to others. Dr. Armstrong and his team performed a discectomy on my back.

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!

Back in November, right before Thanksgiving I had neck surgery. Dr Armstrong was very nice to me. Before I was crying for help every time. I laughed when he told me that after surgery I would feel 100%. Dr Armstrong did not lie in any of it. Thank you so much Dr Armstrong. Jacki Coffeen

He is a blessing to his field!! He worked miracles on my sister's brain after a tumor was found. She is doing awesome and has nothing but love for Dr. Armstrong. Thank you sir for helping us to keep my sister.

Best neurosurgeon around. He literally performs miracles as I'm living proof. Ive had 3 neck surgeries all which he has performed, when no one else would take on the risk. He saved my life! He is so knowledgeable & caring. He goes above & beyond 2 care 4 his patients. I wouldn't trust another person 2 touch me but I trust him with my life. Best ever! Best neurosurgeon around.

Dr. Armstrong and his staff were outstanding in every respect from my first appointment and throughout my surgery. The hospital stay was overnight. That was another story. I chalk it up to being there during COVID. The nursing staff was mostly friendly but seemed short staffed and a bit disorganized.

We were sent to ER on a Friday night and told my husband had a fractured spine and a tumor close to severing his spinal cord. Dr. Armstrong came to meet us at 4:00AM Saturday, operated at 10:30AM and my husband was able to walk without pain that evening. He was concerned, professional and brilliant! I will be eternally grateful.

Office staff are very unprofessional. Candace, the PA, awful. I do not recommend this office, the staff, or the Dr.’s. I had an appointment scheduled ahead 1 month. Candace and the staff turned me away, wouldn’t see me over being a few minutes late. The reason why I was late, the staff instructed me to go next door to pick up my MRI disc. When I returned 5 minutes later, my wife was in tears bc of the way she was treated. They wanted to reschedule another month out. Office staff are very unprofessional. Candace, the PA, awful.

You cannot see him on your first visit. He puts you off on his physicians assistant. That is his policy per the receptionist. I am not wasting my time and my money to see a physician's assistant when they are not the one that is going to be doing the surgery on my spine. My time is valuable to me. I'd rather not waste it.

Dr Armstrong did a fantastic job, for the first time in over a year I am pain free and not popping or cracking when I walk, 2 weeks after surgery I can walk 2 miles without pain meds needed

Dr. Armstrong was very upfront with me about my surgery. I had a cervical fusion 6 years earlier and the surgery failed. Dr. Armstrong did a posterior fusion that decreases the chance of a third surgery. His nurse practitioner Candace, did a great job with following me post op.

Horrible staff. Didn't get to see anyone. Candance and her front desk people are completely unprofessional and discourtesy. Such inconsiderate behavior. I do not recommend this office whatsoever. There are so many Dr.'s out there that has a staff that are grateful for your business. Apparently, Dr. Armstrong doesn't care either or his current staff would work there. I'm sure he knows about all the bad reviews. Negligence on his part. Overall, not a good place of business.

I had neck surgery on two discs, Dr Armstrong worked so hard trying to get me in earlier but we had to wait on insurance authorization. The surgery went as scheduled, the severe pain and numbness I had down my left shoulder and arm for over a year was gone when I woke up from surgery. I hated the 3 month recovery process but that's not his fault. Dr A, his staff and the entire staff at Washington Regional was well beyond my greatest expectations.

Never got to meet Dr. Armstrong since he vetted out our visit to his P.A. who couldn't explain my husband's pain from his MRI and blew him off. Six months later we see another neurosurgeon who doesn't see anything on MRI but orders a cat scan whichs shows several compressed nerves and 2 collapsed discs. My husband may have permanent nerve damage because the PA wouldn't spend a little more effort to figure out the cause of his pain. He needs to either see new patients personally or get a better PA.

Dr Armstrong was very informative explaining the procedure. I was overwhelmingly confident after speaking with staff at pre-op about his experience and reputation. I will highly rate Dr Armstrong.

My name is Dwight Garretson I had neck surgery went from about 60% paralized to a slow but very good recovery Candace and Larry are excellent excellent Thank you very much.

Dr. Armstrong is the man you want doing your neurological surgery. He's an experienced and highly skilled Neurosurgeon. You can also tell that he's a good guy who you'll be able to trust ...good combination when you can find it! And, you'll have his great nursing staff looking after you. Cindy and Natasha were both fantastic. He just did a Posterior Cervical Laminectomy on me, with hardware and fusion. I'm looking forward to getting back to work and life. You can't pay someone back for that.

Good doctor! Horrible practice! I had a Workers Comp injury and needed further surgery. Saw him on 3-27 and had 12 questions typed up for him. My wife took notes! I was waiting to hear when the surgery was and 8 days later he sent a letter ending this and said I left questions at the end of my appointment and did not discuss! Ha! Workers Comp refused any further treatment and I went to VA and they referred me back to him! Went to my appointment in 7-11 and Candace, PA said he won't ever see me!!

Office people are terrible wouldn't go

I have not met anyone who has had a good experience with back surgery Except ME DR. ARMSTRONG IS THE BEST...! My surgery was in 2009, Im still GOOD...! JUST OLDER I have not met anyone who has had a good experience with back surgery Except ME DR. ARMSTRONG IS THE BEST...! … More

LOVE Dr. Armstrong! He is a wonderful Dr. Very informative. And has a FANTASTIC "Bedside Manner" He did my FIRST cervical spine surgery. Have had many after, never went as well, or healed the same as with Dr. Armstrong. He is THE ONLY reason I wish I still lived in Arkansas.

Dr Armstrongs office was very rude and unprofessional. Their front office person, Kelly Alexander, requested all the information from my previous Doctors and indicated that she would then schedule my appointment. After putting in all the work to have my records sent I heard nothing for a month. When I called back and requested an appointment Kelly lied and said she was no longer sure the doctor would see me but she would "check". She called back 2 minutes later and said the Dr wouldn't see me.

Had 3 neck surgeries. Dr armstrong was the only one willing to accept the task of trying to repair my broken neck. He saved my life & was by far the best surgeon/neurosurgeon I have ever known.

Wonderful. Explained and showed everything in detail. Answered every single question I had (my list was about 86 questions long). Did regular follow ups on me and displayed genuine concern. He was very comforting and positive.
