You can tell if someone has recently been to Dr. McAllister, because they will have at least one bandage on a biopsy site. Seriously. I have never had so many biopsies in my life--all of which returned negative. She once biopsied a freckle. ON MY FACE. I'd had it for decades and no other dermatologist found it to be of concern. Yes, sometimes a biopsy is necessary to rule out a potential problem, but I got at least one biopsy every time I went in and that seems to be fairly common in her practice. It makes me wonder if she h... read more
Best dermatologist I've ever been to. Extremely thorough. Friendly. I've never had to wait in all the years I have gone there.
Felt like a piece of meat in her office, a lab specimen. She seemed harried and extremely rushed and I felt super uncomfortable (which generally never happens in doctor's offices)
Had three appts at Cortland never saw Dr. PA does all work. You go to specialist to see specialist! Did shave biopsy on spot size of pencil erasure. Precancerous- freeze area- swells up size of pea. Return want to do another shave biopsy. Should have done excision at this point to remove. Should have walked then. Gouged out area size of dime full skin deep. Margins still not clear. Wanted to do 4 mm punch biopsy. this would not have covered original area. Went to CMA dermatology for real Dr.

Josephine went above and beyond in taking care of my son Alex. He was hospitalized and she was very thorough and attentive in her treatment. She was extremely caring. Mark from her practice was also extremely diligent in his initial diagnosis of the issue. We had an excellent experience with this practice group.
My teenage daughter & I have been patients of Dr. McAllister's for several years now. As a registered nurse, I value Dr. McAllister's expertise & the thoroughness of her exam. Dr. McAllister & her team believe in empowering their patients by helping them understand how they can best care for their skin while explaining any necessary procedures and abnormal findings. Her office & staff are very professional, efficient & kind. Dr. McAllister has gained my trust & respect!
Reception very helpful and responsive to difficult scheduling. Careful assessmentbiopsy/pathology appropriate to concerns. Never feel practice dismisses potential concerns. Highly recommend this practice.
Drove from Bing to see Dr. McAllister & staff. Everyone's super friendly, confident & competent. Not sure why folks are complaining about Dr. A--when you see a specialist, PAs are the main point of care & contact w/the doctor overseeing every patient's care. She spent more than 10 minutes w/ me speaking about my concerns & explained everything thoroughly & respectfully. I see dozens of specialists a year for an unrelated health issue & Dr. A & her staff are by far the best; quick scheduling too
While at Dr McAllisters office I was pleasantly surprised with the staff, they are both friendly and helpful. The appointment times are on time and very thorough. My 3 page hand out was full of information about my visit: things to watch and further skin care recommendations. While I was in my appointment Dr McAllister stepped into the room and asked about my children and reminded me the importance of not only protecting myself from the sun but my children also. I'm very happy with my experience
