Snoring affects the majority of men over fifty years of age and most women over the age of sixty.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that can only be diagnosed through appropriate clinical testing. We offer a two-channel sleep study that can be used to exclude sleep apnea in the privacy of your home. A comprehensive nose and throat examination can identify areas of obstruction. Dr. Armstrong is experienced in all aspects of airway management. Most cases of snoring can be cured. Back to Top >>
Tonsillitis and strept throat are common childhood illnesses. Although strept throat is a self-limited illness, it can cause severe heart and kidney disease if not treated promptly with antibiotics.

Dr. Armstrong uses the latest coblation technology for tonsillectomy, greatly reducing or eliminating the pain following surgery. Dr. Armstrong was voted one of the best pediatric otolaryngologists in Richmond in 2002- - come see why!

When skin cancers are too big to treat in the office, many dermatologists call upon Dr. Armstrong for assistance. Using a serial excision technique first developed by Frederick Mohs, Dr. Armstrong can obtain a 99% chance of cure with most non-melanoma skin cancers, while preserving as much normal skin as possible. He then uses the principles of cosmetic units to reconstruct the defect, hiding the scars within natural borders or in the hairline. You can trust your face to a facial plastic surgeon. Remember - the best treatment for skin cancer is prevention - use sunscreen!Back to Top >>
