"I am so pleased with the service I have received from Dr. McAllister and her very supportive and efficient staff whether the procedure I received was medical or elective in nature. Addressing issues related to potential skin cancer as well as the aging process causes lots of anxiety. Dr. McAllister and her staff have the patience to address my concerns. Thank you all!"
