Dr. Earl McAllister, MD

Went to ER and we learned my wife needed gallbladder (GB) out, a GB op., but not urgently so ER sent us home rec. a surgeon. On ref. from our GE (who also ordered a scan ER did not do, and gave Dr. M valuable info as to GB condition) we went to Dr. M (vs. Dr. ER rec.). Met Dr. on Wed. and he did op on Fri. After Wed. appt. that night had a question re: intense pain and called after hours line, got a call back right away! Night before op. was concerned about taking pain meds pre-Op so needed to make a 2nd after hours call and same near immed. call back!!! Moreover, op. turned out to be far from routine, as I'd read typical GB op is only an hour +/-, but this one involved removing organ and nearly 200 stones which Dr. took nearly 3 hours to do. If you want an experienced top notch Dr. who truly cares about his patients IMO you could not do better than to choose Dr. M. I'm so glad we did, he's old school and practices medicine in a way all Dr's should.

Dr. McAllister is one of the best doctors I have ever had and I have had many surgeries. He is very knowledgeable, and has real concern for his patients. He makes you feel very comfortable, has a great personality and a great bedside manner. I am so grateful to have chosen him as my surgeon. I am 100% healed and never felt better! I am convinced he is one of the best.

We are extremely impressed by the level of care and concern Dr. McAllister has given to us. He is extremely attentive, knowledgeable and an expert surgeon. His whole staff and medical team including Dr. Clark have gone above and beyond our expectations for medical care and service. We are grateful!

Dr. McAllister smooth talked the lay person and gets offended when concerning questions are raised by the "not so lay person". His pre'op teachings on hernia repairs are misleading and insulting. Discharge instructions do not EMPOWER the patient, instead, leaves them POWERLESS. He was very tight lipped about the procedure, despite all the concerning clinical signs (prolonged bleeding at surgical site over 1 month post-op, swelling etc, etc. Reminder: EVERY PATIENT IS A HUMAN BEING'S LOVED.

Saw Dr. McAllister for hiatal hernia repair. I found him very personable and felt at ease talking to him. He explained the issues I have and took plenty of time explaining the surgery options for me. I got in to see him in a timely manner and his staff were all very courteous and professional. Although I will be scheduling my surgery for a later date as it is not urgently needed, I will definately have him do the surgery. I studied his credentials and references and feel confident in his care.

When I met Dr. McAllister in his office, I was very nervous but he was smiling and friendly. He listened without being abrupt or in a hurry. He was willing to do an excisional biopsy under local anesthetic. Dr. McAllister and his team at North Tampa Ambulatory Surgery Center id a great job. They were competent and highly professional yet also compassionate and reassuring. I have only a small incision. I'm grate- ful to Dr. McAllister for his surgical skills and his kindness.

Dr McAllister was very friendly and courteous and explained my options for my Hernia surgery.The surgery center is top notch and the other doctors and nurses were just fantastic! I'm very glad I chose this facility for my health care needs.

He takes time to tell you about your procedure and the reason that you need the procedure. He leaves nothing to chance making sure that his diagnoses is correct.

Dr. McAllister is at the top of my list when I think of a DR who is genuinley caring. He understands that patients are people first. Unnecessary test? Extra cost? Extra B.S.? Not with this man. If every Doctor you see was as real and down to earth as this man, health Care would have a far better reputation these days. God Bless you Sir. DW
