Dr. McAleer takes time to actually talk to the patient (and in this case their caregiver) about what is going on. He never seems rushed or disinterested. He offers his best advice about situations and does not push pharmaceuticals on patients. Where diet and lifestyle changes are appropriate, that's what he recommends. He is a very caring physician -- something that unfortunately seems to be really rare these days.
