Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My dentist for over 20 years
Since I am in my 60s, I had alot of dentists before Dr Armstrong. He is the best of the best. He is easy going, gentle, a perfectionist, and goes to great lengths to ensure I have a comfortable bite after any dental work.

When I heard about a dental device that not only helps sleep apnea, but snoring too, I was skeptical . However, Dr Armstrong explained its benefits so well , I was willing to try it! And it works ! I feel so much better! All the staff are excellent too. The office runs smoothly with little to no wait time! Highly recommend!

Partner has sleep apnea. It didn’t just keep him awake; it kept me awake, with worry. He tried a CPAP machine and hated it. Then a friend told us about ZYPPAH device, we went to Dr. Armstrong’s, and the rest is history. Today, the snoring is gone, the worry is gone … not only can he sleep, so can I. Dr. Armstrong’s office excels in so many ways, but here are three: 1) Debbie and the whole staff patiently and thoroughly answers questions; 2) they got insurance to pay 100%;! 3) they are so nice.

Dr. Armstrong and his staff have been a blessing to me and my family. I have been extremely happy with the dental prosthetic that I am wearing to bed. I am sleeping through the night and I am waking up very restful. I am so much more productive now! The whole process has been very easy. I highly recommend Dr. Armstrong. I am very thankful that my excellent pulmonologist, Dr. Anders referred me to this office.

I have had dental phobia for years, along with an autoimmune disease. This wonderful dentist immediately eliminated my fears, takes updates on my health at every visit, and even tackled the problem of braces for me late in life! I am delighted with his care, my dental health and for the first time in years, a smile I just love!
