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.

Dr. Armistead is very caring and does NOT get in a rush. He is a good listener and does his BEST to explain health issues.

Dr. Armistead is an absolute asset to the medical profession! He has been my (and my husband's) family physician for many years. His medical knowledge/skills and the caring/compassionate manner in which he cares for his patients is to be commended. He impresses me with his proactive approach to medical issues; carefully advising and offering steps that can be taken to prevent a medical problem. His ability to diagnosis and treat a medical issue is, by far, the best I have ever encountered.

My experience with Dr. Armistead and staff has been excellent. He has been my Dr. for quite awhile now and I am totally satisfied with his care. He does not rush you in and out, he sits down and takes his time talking to you and listening to you as well as explaining in detail your lab work and any other issues you may have. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a good Dr. with great skills.

My wife and I are now snowbirds. We have been seeing Dr. Armistead for the last two years. He and his staff are second to none. The staff is very courteous and get back to you very promptly. Dr. Armistead is very knowledgeable and and spends an incredible amount of time with a patient. I only wish my healthcare where I live was even close to the caliber of care I receive from this office.
