Dr. Armstrong is a graduate of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. He has a passion for performing procedures and surgeries, including laparoscopic surgery. He treats women with fibroids, endometriosis and menstrual abnormalities, and enjoys caring for adolescents and women during pregnancy.

His journey was motivated by his love for math and science, but his passion for medicine comes from his life experience as a young child seeing his grandfather battle cancer. He knew then he wanted to pursue medicine to make an impact on others’ lives. Dr. Armstrong quickly realized his passion for women's health doing his Obstetric Clerkship at WakeMed in 1996, and his journey has come full circle.

Dr. Armstrong loves his team at WakeMed and they work together to provide quality patient care. Dr. Armstrong has three daughters and a son, and he spends much of his time outside of work exploring nature or traveling with them.
