“Dr McAleer was amazing. I was so nervous to reachable care with a Primary Care Physician after mine PC retired some 8 years ago. He took the time to listen to me, and when I left, I felt heard and understood!! I'm so relieved to have him as my new PC and I've already recommended his care to friend of mine in search for a new PC.”

He's very rude he doesn't care about me as a patient I told him what was going on with me and he just blows me off every visit he tells me what ever I want to do he's doesn't care all he does is blood work over and over I've never had a dr to be so rude and just don't care for his patient he acts like he just don't care at all I would love to have another dr if I could that cared about me and my health”
