I have been a patient of Dr. Armstrong for over 13 years, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional family doctor. He is truly wonderful--his bedside manner is outstanding, he is patient, listens carefully, and is genuinely compassionate. He always takes the time to make sure I feel heard and understood, which is so important in healthcare. The entire office staff is equally amazing. I've had consistently great experiences with Kim, Carina, and Cricket, who go above and beyond to help patients. They've assisted me with additional requests such as filling out applications and other administrative needs, always with kindness and efficiency. It's rare to find a medical practice where both the doctor and staff care so deeply about their patients. I feel very lucky to have Dr. Armstrong as my physician and highly recommend his practice to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy family doctor. read more

WORST DOCTORS OFFICE EVER! Countless times they cancel appointments and notify me. The Staff is HORRIBLE . don't FOLLOW THROUGH. MONTHS to get an appointment even if your sick or even just a regular. Never available for things most patients need. Forgetting to call in meds etc etc. Worst rudest staff ! And Most importantly you can never get an appoinment when you need . STAY AWAY FROM THIS OFFICE! read more

The very first introduction to doctor Armstrong will be over the telephone trying to make an appointment and his front desk people are the worst most uncaring coldest people you will ever speak to, they really should not be in healthcare. I scheduled an initial appointment to see Doctor William K Armstrong, he's supposed to be my primary care physician and it's been a year and I've never seen him once. The office called me many days later, to reschedule my appointment. I was driving at the time so I entered their new date incorrectly in my calendar, and I missed the second appointment which they rescheduled me for, it's now June and I was pretty coldly told by the lady on the phone, that I cannot see the doctor until October, OCTOBER? She tells me to just go to Urgent care which is a re-curring thing I see on here based on other reviews left by other patients. Worst front desk staff ever, horrible humans. Now I've got to go through the pain of changing my primary care doctor to see a new one, I'll see it as a blessing in disguise, anyone who has any suggestion of a good office near Newport, or Costa Mesa, please advise. I moved from Los Angeles and this is horrible. read more

I called looking for a new physician thought he was impressive. The office took me 20 minutes and said they would take over two months to get me in and then I would see a physician assistant if he's busy whoever gave this doctor five star rating doesn't understand medicine and I think it's false advertising, and I would never use this position ever again. The office had somebody new working I have asked to speak to the office manager. She basically discouraged me telling me that there a physician assistant Office said it's hard to see the physician. Unbelievable. read more

I can't get an appointment to see him until about three months later. He is too busy for patients. You can see his PA but it may be two weeks later. Front desk needs work as well. I will no longer be seeing him and will be looking for a new physician who has the time. read more

Fantastic family doctor to will listen and care about you as a person. He is prompt with keeping appointments

The year I first chose Dr. Armstrong to be my PCP (primary care provider), NMUSD had changed all our benefits, so we had to choose someone from Greater Newport Physicians for our new insurance plan. I was anxious and even annoyed about having to start all over again, but as soon as I met my new doctor, I felt immediately at ease. He had such a warm, gentle and caring energy about him. In all my years of numerous doctors, Dr. Armstrong was the first one to discover my fibromyalgia condition, which was such a relief because one needs to know what one has in order to begin healing protocols. Just this one diagnosis began my self-care research, which led me to prioritizing new and wonderful routines such as epsom salt baths, massage/physical therapy, arnica, muscle relief gels, acupuncture, turmeric, magnesium, weekly walks/hikes, and so on and so forth.... Anyway, he goes above and beyond for his patients and has a direct, yet compassionate approach. I'm having my first tele-health visit with him today via Zoom! This says a LOT when both my oncologist and rheumatologist have cancelled my appointments and did not offer a tele-appointment for a follow-up! (understandably, due to current Covid-19 issues) However, Dr. Armstrong is always here for us!!!! Thank you Dr. A+++!!! read more

Dr. Armstrong is an excellent doctor. I had a virtual appointment today September 16. I talked to him about the problems with my right knee. Dr. Armstrong diagnostic the problems, so he says we have to take care of that pain. He then Subscribed two Meds. That will take away the pain. And also to do an x-ray at Hoag hospital. To make sure nothing else is wrong with my knee.. He's a professional,very confidence n precise in his decisions.. read more
