Dr. McAlister is a wonderful doctor! He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. I was very satisfied with my visit with him, as he took the time to explain the situation with my foot. His office is conveniently located, impeccably clean, and his staff is always kind and helpful -- especially Yessenia, who went out of her way to assist me and resolve my questions and issues, even when it was not her responsibility. Thank you, Yessenia! I highly recommend Dr. McAlister to anyone looking for a caring and skilled physician. read more

I've never reviewed a doctors office before but I have to give a shoutout to Dr. Mcalister. I broke my 5th metatarsal playing volleyball. At the ER they gave me recommendations of orthopedic surgeons and podiatrists but no one would pick up. I called multiple times. I decided to take this into my own hands and do my own research for a good doctors I found Dr. mcalister online and they immediately picked up and got me in. He was very gentle with my foot and recommended surgery or I could wait but there wouldn't be a 100% chance it would heal. I went in on a Wednesday and he fit me in for surgery on Friday! I was super nervous but the surgery went smoothly and the pain post op hasn't been bad at all. He's been at my follow up appointments and answers all my questions and is super patient, even with a busy schedule. I highly recommend and if something ever happens to my foot I would go back to him! read more

Poor front office. Bad experience, avoid this practice as the support team can't effectively communicate or schedule a consultation nor had any information shared by my practitioner for surgery to do so... read more

I have been working with Dr. McAlister regarding a sesamoid fracture since November 2018 and my experience has been outstanding. He and his team are professional, caring and consistently work towards achieving the best results possible. He has administered PRP and Amnio Source InovoFlo Stem Cell injections into the affected area and we are hoping for great results. The location, office and staff are all top notch. I highly recommend Dr. McAlister for any orthopedic needs. read more

DR. McAlister came to my rescue in Sept.2017 when a car backed into me on my bicycle. My body was fine my foot trashed. 3 surgeries later, I now have been his first patient for a Talus Reconstruction/ Total Ankle replacement. While this is his first I am the 2nd in Az to have this procedure. Through all of the surgeries he has kept in constant contact to assure me that I will eventually be pain free while walking. And walk more normal than I was after the first 2 surgeries. I would refer him to everyone. He goes above and beyond while doing this last surgery of the Talus Reconstruction, shows his dedication to new technology to help patients be active and pain free again. Thanks Doc! read more

Dr. McAlister is TOP NOTCH!!! He truly CARES about his patients!! He offers cutting edge treatment options, options that the other doctors don't offer!! Don't go to some old geezer who isn't in touch with the latest and greatest treatment options!! Dr. McAlister gave me hope when I had none after seeing multiple other doctors about my foot condition. The others wanted to perform surgery, yet advised me of how risky surgery would be. Dr. McAlister did not want to perform surgery as the first option based on risk factors of surgery. Instead, he offered alternative treatments. I literally showed up in tears of fear and left with tears of joy!!! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. McAlister!!!! My feet are doing much better...without surgery!!! read more

Dr. McAlister performs foot and ankle surgery twice a week. Because of this frequency and experience, the team knows what they're doing and have the bunion removal surgery down to a science so they can answer your questions before you even ask. He and his staff are professional and top-notch. They'll answer any and all questions. I never felt rushed. They have an X-ray machine which makes it easy and convenient. read more

Dr McAlister did surgery on my daughter who plays volleyball at the college level. I was very impressed how much he cared and went out of his way for us. The surgery was very extensive yet he said "no problem this is what I do ". Could not recommend him more, great surgeon and guy! read more

Dr. McAlister has performed two Surgeries now on both feet. He is extremely professional and I have had excellent results from both surgeries. Would definitely recommend him! read more

Dr. McAlister provides incredibly attentive, personalized care. He operated on my elderly mother's toe and gave her exceptional attention. When I had a concern (she fell, helping someone), we called on a Friday after 5:00pm to the number he gave us . . . he called us back in less than 10 minutes. It was his personal cell phone! AND he knew my mother and about her surgery, remembering important details and saw her early the following week. It is very rare to have such personalized attention from any doctor, let alone a surgeon. He is straight forward, direct, friendly, and kind. I have written maybe three reviews in total, two of which were complaints. Dr. McAlister is an outstanding surgeon with the bedside manner of a country doctor your family has known for generations. read more

I saw Dr. McAlister almost 2 years for a fairly intense surgery. I had seen 3 other podiatrist/orthopedic surgeons for 5 years prior, and none were able to give a solid answer or solution- I had ridiculously high arches, neuromas, tendonitis, capsulitis, you name it. It was a mess. I believe what he did was similar to a "Cole Procedure", but essentially he cut through my entire foot, to shift it upwards, and then screw it back in place, along with a laundry list of other things, achilles work, calf lengthening.... Before and after the surgery I was impressed with Dr. McAlister's expertise and confidence- not arrogant or cocky at all, but he didn't seem like he was "practicing" medicine, or making educated guesses. He knew what he was doing, and acted as such. In one visit we did a consultation, x-rays, reviewed the x-rays, and then discussed his surgical recommendation, as well as direct answers why other surgeries that I had done, or had recommended to be done, were not/would not be effective, or would cause further complications. Additionally, I could tell he was very busy, but when he was in the room with me, he was 100% there, fully engaged. When someone is going to be doing irreversible surgery on you, it feels very reassuring that you are the center of their attention. Two weeks later I had the surgery, went perfectly smooth, one month of non-weight bearing got me caught up on netflix, I started going to physical therapy soon after, and two months after the surgery I was (very carefully, and with poles) hiking in North Mountain Preserve, working on getting strength and balance back, working those intrinsic muscles. I ended up moving out of Arizona soon after, but will literally be flying back this year, to have the same surgery on my other foot, because I refuse to risk that large of a surgery with anyone else. And with a little luck, and Dr. McAlister's help, that will get both feet up to par and ready to hike the Appalachian Trail. You rock Dr. McAlister, and I'll be seeing you soon -Wendel read more

As a physician myself treating chronic pain, I appreciate how important it is for a surgeon to have both the technical skills and compassionate bedside manner necessary to provide truly excellent care. Dr McAlister is the best foot surgeon in the Greater Phoenix area, inclusive of both ORTHOPEDIC and PODIATRIC surgeons. He can handle the most complex of fractures and medical conditions with true expertise. Dr McAlister operated on my foot and cured me of my painful condition and the recovery was quick and he was always available to answer questions. No need to get a second opinions and you dont need to look any further than Dr McAlister to handle your foot/ankle concerns. He is the best. Thanks for your help and great care! read more

Dr. McAlister listened to my concerns and gave a through exam. He laid out a plan of action and took inconsideration that 100% recovery was my goal as a golf professional and avid recreational athlete. read more

He is terrific! Knowledgable and gets to the bottom of the problem fast! He didn't need x rays to immediately ascertain my right foot problem. read more

I have been seeing Dr. McAlister since I fractured my ankle in 2014. He performed a very complicated repair involving three plates and multiple screws. I can't say enough about his concern and care during the healing process. He warned me that I would eventually develop arthritis in the repaired ankle and that has now happened. He has been diligent in exploring options to relieve pain and retain mobility in my ankle. I referred a friend to him when she was suffering from an old foot injury. She is now pain free. We both admire and respect Dr McAlister. read more

I recently saw Dr. McAlister for help with my painful bunion. I was taken to a room shortly after I arrived and Dr. McAlister explained the best treatment option for me. The process went more smoothly than I could have imagined. One week post-op I was walking in a boot. It's been six weeks now and I'm transitioning into shoes. Won't be too much longer before I'm back to my normal workout routine! Not only does my foot feel much better, it also LOOKS so much better than before. Really wish I would've started this process sooner. So glad I found Dr. McAlister!!! read more

Absolutely the best! Dr. McAlister has provided me with top notch medical care. He performed a pretty major ankle surgery on me and I have been so happy with the care I have received. He is such a phenomenal doctor and is really down to earth. I developed an infection after surgery and his quick proactive response prevented it from becoming serious. His staff is friendly and kind. I completely trust Dr McAlister's professional opinion an I know that he is going to give me the best care possible. read more

Dr. McAllister was the first doc to finally address / treat my severe foot pain that I have been struggling with for the entirety of my life. I am from California originally and was seeing a foot and ankle doctor out there during high school . Nothing seemed to help , which was a huge issue granted I was attending Arizona to play football . It wasn't until my senior year of college that I was recommended to see him. After listening to his treatment advice and implementing it my pain level lessoned dramatically . Dr. Mac showed me a level of care that most docs do not . I'm thankful for his help with my foot , although I am more thankful for the trust he built with me. My mother has to have a foot reconstruction this summer. I am having her fly out to see him . I feel extremely blessed to have a doctor that allows my family and I to have a sense of confidence during this time as we all know any type of surgery is scary . I recommend him not only for his surgical skills , but also for being a great person with a ton of passion for what he does . read more

I had a total ankle replacement and a calcaneal osteotomy at the same time from Dr. McAlister and am only 48 years old but there's some background information that is extremely helpful for anyone looking for an incredibly talented, highly trained, and confident doctor. A friend of mine who is an orthopedic surgical sales representative told me about him thankfully. In fact, I had 10 different top foot and ankle orthopedic specialists and board certified DPM foot and ankle surgeons locally and throughout the country look at my situation, including my brother who is one of those top board certified DPM foot and ankle surgeons. 90% of them told me they did not know if the surgery would work for me based on the angle of my foot at the time. All of the medical journals say the chances are low so I started to lose hope. Immediately when I met Dr. McAlister, he put me at ease with his sense of humor, laid back and confident approach and told me that after the surgery, I should be good and most importantly, reach my goal of not being in constant pain which was 9 out of 10 at the time for the past 4 years. Luckily, he had experience doing total ankle replacements on 20 different patients that had my type of angled foot and more than 100 total ankle replacements of those that did not. I am now 11 weeks post-op, have no pain at all, and I'm no longer limping so he has changed my life already! I am optimistic and will post again when I am at one year recovery doing all the things physically that I love again without pain hopefully. Thank you Dr. McAlister and your excellent, friendly staff! read more
