About Mr Alexander Armstrong
Dr Alexander Armstrong is a highly experienced Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgeon based at University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust. With over a decade of clinical practice, he specialises in complex upper limb surgery for both adults and children, working closely with orthopaedic teams to deliver advanced limb reconstruction at a Major Trauma Centre.
His practice includes a strong focus on paediatric conditions such as limb differences, hypospadias, and vascular anomalies, shaped by a dedicated subspecialty fellowship at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

His approach balances surgical expertise with a commitment to safety, innovation, and compassionate care.
