Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Glad she is closing
This office is terrible from staff to doctor. Incompetence at every level. From forgotten messages, to forgotten prescriptions, to rudeness and condescending. Guess that is why the doctor can’t keep or get decent help. My kids hated her. You know it’s bad when you tell your kids your doctor is retiring and they cheer because they never have to see her again. Yes you can get in right away but that’s because she has no patients. Every time I call to make appt receptionist tells me not busy.

I have 3 children and 2 of them have been seen by Dr. McAllaster since they were wee ones, the other since she was 10. I love her. As long as you honest (with any doctor really) she has suggestions and will help any way she can. She is flexible, the office is safe and clean, and they do a great job at keeping me up to date for shots, appointments etc. If you explain whats wrong, she can help you, but it only works if you listen. No weirdo hippy 'oils', she is science based and will explain if you ask her to. But remember: science is harder to understand, thats why everyone isn't a doctor!

She is who I trust my kids to, she remembers all of our health concerns and guides our family in the right care for us. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and explains her own.

Rude, forgetful, doesn't seem to like children. Lots of unnecessary paper work and tests. Lots of patient and staff turn over. I would not recommend to anyone.

Doesn't seem very knowledgeable. Very strange ideas. Took child in hoping to have a wart removed and watched her apply acid and then paint nail polish over it. Supposedly to hold acid on. After several painful treatments wart was still there. Whole treatment seemed in orthodox. Changed doctors, new doctor froze wart, gone after 1 treatment
