Dr Mcaleer is the best dr. I've had in years I can ask him any questions and we dicuss it till I understand. Not all doctors do this. They expect you just to do what they say, no questions asked. I can only pray he stays with U.T. because that is the only hospital I will ever go to if I need hospitalization. Thank you to all the personal at U.T. Halls for being there for us in the Powell. Halls and north Knoxville area.

Dr. McAleer, listened to me very well and took notes. He evidently researched some of my symptoms and told me a possibility of what the problem was. I haven’t been able to talk to him about it yet. He is also very direct but at the same time he is also kind and shows he cares.
