Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

- August 26, 2022 Dr McAllister was a very kind and caring doctor he explained everything to me and answered all my questions I felt so at ease when I left his office
- August 25, 2022 Even though Dr. McAllister did not find that I needed surgery, he referred me to another form of treatment that will hopefully resolve my issues.
- August 23, 2022 The medical treatment to address the initial injury was remarkably effective. But besides this I am Not so convinced that Dr. McAllister has the capacity to keep tabs on physical therapy progress (or as in my case physical therapy induced injury). My case does not rise to level of surgery so this comment has no reflection on the doctors capacity as a surgeon. I know I was in reinjured and in agony....by the grace of GoD I did not resort to medical pain management.

- June 14, 2022 He tells the truth
