I've trusted this Dr. with my life more than once. I owe this man more than I could ever express. So, a simple thank you.
10 Stars. Probably one of my most favorite, personable, caring and generally straight to the point doctors available in the area. There is seldom a long wait despite a busy practice. I have had issues others misdiagnosed or didn't diagnose at all that Dr. Mcallister has found and explained in great detail.
I would NEVER refer anyone to him! He is a pompous ass who treats you like a Dollar sign! He has 0 bedside manner! He spends 5 minutes with you and doesn't take the time to explain what's going on. My pain is not imaginary... I have had 7 back surgeries and we have now discovered 5 bulging discs in my thoracic and two in my neck. HIS tests show they are pinching nerves in the neck and the thoracic discs are compressing my spinal cord. His remedy.... nothing! He has his nurse call me to give me the results. After my second opinion, there are now several options to fix these problems, and new doctor is shocked McAllister says there's nothing there!
Dr. Ordonez in Norfolk is THE best ever!
I was sent packing from his office after suffering from left ribcage pain/spasms and mid back debilitating spasms and he said he saw nothing in my films and tests ( those films we're all done by my Ortho and HE suggested I need a neurosergeon) Keep in mind I have already had 6 lumbar fusions! I found a new neurosurgeon in Norfolk and after he did extensive tests including a milogram , he immediately found the PROBLEMS! He will be fusing 2 in my neck next week and 2 weeks after that surgery he will go in my lumbar for a 6hr surgery to completely redo my lower back and add 2 more levels which are completely out of alignment and compressing my spinal cord which is causing my muscles to go haywire! He also said he was suspect of all these problems after reading all my films, the same films McAllister reviewed! He confirmed all his suspicions with the milogram and flexsion x- ray's and it was clear as a bell! My new neurologist said it will take some time and hard work to retrain my muscles but said I will swing that golf club again!
I would steer clear of McAllister!!!
During my stay at the hospital, he came to check up on my progress every morning and gave the necessary instructions when he saw that things needed to be changed. After I came home, I got a wellness call to ensure I was doing well. His office staff were also top notch. After my surgery I had a few concerns/questions, when I called his office, they called me back right away.
To date my new doctor has fused my neck and 2 weeks later did an 8 hr surgery on my back to fix all! I am in a hip to shoulder brace for 3 mths and will then be in therapy to retrain my back muscles. I already feel 100 percent better. After 14 yrs of pain meds, most days I only need ibprophen!
I would recommend Dr. Mcallister to anyone. Can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to him and his very capable staff.
The best decision I've ever made was to see Dr. Mcallister, after several years of extreme pain. He explained thoroughly what was going on with me, he also made sure that I understood his explanation, he was very attentive, so I felt comfortable to trust him with a very delicate surgery and thank God I did! He operated on my back about a month ago (L4-S1 Midline Lumbar Interbody Fusion) and now, I feel like new. No doubt that he is very good at what he does: My pain is gone!!! Thanks to his expertise, I am now able to have a normal life.
