Patient Comments
- November 27, 2023 Dr. McAllister has provided me with excellent care pre-operative and post-operative. He answers any questions that I have had and is thorough.
- November 17, 2023 Dr. Mcallister is top notch! He takes the time to explain everything that's going on and answers any questions I have.
- November 15, 2023 Very friendly and explained everything so I could easily understand my condition and course of treatment.
- November 14, 2023 Very professional, explained thoroughly my condition and possible surgery if I choose to have it.
- November 12, 2023 He is matter of fact and to the point. He could use a higher dose of charm to make one feel less stressed. I left his office feeling like I was missing something. Not sure why.
- November 10, 2023 I was very scared about the surgery I was going to receive, and I prayed about which doctor to go to. Once I met Dr. McAllister, he answered all of my questions and my husbands questions and eased my nerves about the surgery and the healing process. The main reason I would recommend Dr. McAllister is because he is very honest and to the point he tells you the truth and I respect that.
- November 5, 2023 Dr. McAllister was friendly and thorough. I feel confident he will help me resolve my medical problem.
- November 3, 2023 Dr. McAllister is amazing! He's caring and he listens. He takes time to explain everything while still having a very demanding schedule. He is upfront and honest. He makes me feel confident and comfortable in his approach to my Healthcare.
- November 2, 2023 If someone needed a surgeon he would I think be a good Dr for that but he really does not listen to your concerns and needs. It seemed to be about his own programs on unnecessary physical therapy without first getting a MRI after I told him I already talked to my insurance about it. They may have issues with prolonged physical therapy. Also maybe say yeah another Dr may be in order if no surgery is needed and he cannot provide help for arthritis. He is nice but not whet I apparently need at the moment . Upset never even received a call in regards about an MRI and only physical therapy.
- November 1, 2023 Dr. McAllister takes the time to listen and allow you to ask questions. He shows care and wants the best outcome for his patients. I really appreciate the time he takes to make sure you understand the process and explain what you do not understand.
