Dr. McAleer is very informative and caring to me. Even when his diagnosis is not. The best of news. He is very knowledgeable within the medical field, and I feel confident that what he recommends is a good pathway for me to have better health. I would recommend dr. McAleer to my friends and my family.

Dr. Mcaleer is very friendly and very interested in serving me. Just to make a
short statement, I will be 90 years old in August and of course needed many doctors throughout these years. He is the best on my list. He allows me to talk without watching his watch and he takes my complaints one by one and answers. I know that my life is in the hands of someone that will use the science of healing to help me. Trust is so important!

He is always willing to listen and he offers options and never treats me like I don’t matter. He has a unique blend of professionalism and compassion that is lacking in the medical field today. I appreciate him.

I really like him overall. I think he is very knowledgeable and for the most part open-minded. I was a little turned off in my last appt. with him concerning chronic pain I have had for decades without a diagnosis. He said “What do you want me to do for you?” when I was expecting him to offer advice or suggestions. In the end he suggested to start with an MRI which I agree with.

He just didn’t seem very professional at his job . I’ve always been told to take a certain Type of medicine and pretty much be told me nothing with help with the symptoms o was having and to buy some over the counter vitamin .
