Dr. McAlister is amazing! He always takes time to talk about any questions/concerns I (or my child) has. Very knowledgeable, very professional.

I've read a lot of good reviews on this doctor and was looking forward to seeing him for the first time to discuss concerns about my baby, but he wasn't very friendly. This might just be his personality but he did not smile once, he looked annoyed or upset to be there honestly. He did prescribe medication and sent an ENT referral which I appreciate, he at least didn't brush my concerns off completely. He could have been having a bad day, like I said it was my first time seeing him. We normally see Kara the NP and love her.

I will always recommend ETCH Oak Ridge.
