He is our new Doctor as we recently transferred over to him as our Primary care. Very professional & friendly! I love how he shares medical information with you about your health. Most Doctors do not take the time to do so. My husband & I are really happy with his care.

He is warm, friendly and caring. He is thorough and takes his time. You never feel rushed when speaking to him. He is obviously very knowledgeable and answers all questions. After all my family's years with Dr. [full name], we were very anxious about having a new family physician when he retired. Dr. McAleer has been far beyond our expectations and we love him.

Dr. McAleer was great with Robert. He gave him a thorough exam on both knees and shoulder. He ordered X-rays and provided us an update that evening. He also suggested that we find a PT center near our home in Oneida and offered to get the referral written for the PT center we found. Dr. McAleer understands Bob's challenges and works with him to get him great care and motivates him to do better.
