Physician showed no concern regarding my pain. I left the appointment feeling dismissed and not cared about. Will be getting a second opinion.

NP [...] was outstanding. She was very thorough in asking history of my symptoms and evaluating my current status. [...] my partner, and I felt [...] was also exceptionally courteous and professional and instrumental in providing Dr. McAllister relevant facts before my visit with him. Dr. McAllister lived up to all the positive things I had heard about him. He actually did back surgery twice on [...] and once on her grandmother [...] when he first started in this area many years ago. Just as I had been told he would be, Dr. McAllister was exceptionally professional, polite, engaging, and knowledgeable. He me understand what could be going on with my neck. I appreciate him carefully listening to me and coming up with a treatment plan to include further nerve testing. I feel confident Dr. McAllister will be able to determine what is causing my symptoms and provide the followup care I need. [...] and Dr. McAllister and this practice are assets to the Riverside organization and our community.

I was very, very favorably impressed with Dr. McAllister, whom I'd not met before. He treated me as a person of intelligence (not just another old lady whose mental capacities were diminished). He had no way of knowing that years ago, I'd been through a rigorous pre-med program and so when he talked about the pros and cons of my having surgery, I understood him perfectly.
