Best Surgeon Ever!
I have been seeing Dr McAllister since 9/2020. He did a total ankle replacement at that time and truly cares about his patients. He was available to me anytime I had questions or needed to discuss any worries. I now see him to get stem cell, HA and PRP injections on my other ankle. I will eventually have to get a total ankle replacement on that ankle as well but I will only trust Dr McAllister to do that surgery. I went to 2 other Surgeons before I saw Dr McAllister and they both said I needed to get a fusion of my ankle. I am a nurse and a very active person. I love to hike, kayak, and snow ski so having a fused ankle would really change my life for the worse. If you are suffering ankle or foot problems please see him before you make any surgery decisions. He is the best!

This Doc is passionate, joyful, and a great surgeo
The entire team is positive and very considerate. The office is remarkably clean. I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my appointment. Surgery went superb. I grabbed a handful of this docs biz cards and give it them to those who are searching for a foot and ankle doctor. Highly recommend!

Well, this was a surprisingly great experience!
I was expecting a tired, overworked surgeon that wouldn’t have time or interest to really help me with my medical needs. Well, instead I received care from an extremely interested, very caring and concerned doctor who really wanted to solve my medical problems. I left there refreshed, very hopeful and feeling well cared for. Dr. McAllister is very on point, has exemplary experience and education - and he seems like a physician who never wants to stop learning and doing better for his patients. That’s hard to find today.

The Top Ankle Surgeon in AZ
This is my second surgery performed by Dr. McAlister, and once again it was a successful and a comfortable process. In summary he has taken an old debilitating ankle injury and subsequently given me a second chance at a new life. I am very grateful to Dr. McAlister and his team!

Highly recommend & have recommended Dr. McAlister
Took on my case after being dis-satisfied with previous Dr. He was highly recommended. I was amazed at the difference in proceedure, concerning external healing from 1st Dr. surgery, and how quickly it healed. He discovered issues which required corrective surgery, that has extended the healing time. Dr. McAlister has shown sincere concern with this complicated case, and offers the assurance I need in dealing with this injury. I have and highly recommend Dr. Jeffery McAlister to anyone needing Podiatric care.

Dr. McAlister and his team are fantastic! I had surgery 3 years ago at a different facility that did not fix my severely rolled under foot, I had heard of Dr. McAlister and the Phoenix Foot and Ankle Inst. from a friend and decided to get their opinion. Best decision I have ever made, my ankle is straight and strong now and I am back to my normal life with out the pain! I

Fixing ME!
Dr. McAlister is an excellent communicator helping me understand what happened and the process/next step it would take to repair the damage to my ankle. He answered all my questions no matter how crazy, and I am currently 100 days out from surgery and exactly where he told me I would be in my recover process. I highly recommend Dr. McAlister and team as very professional personable team.

Bunion surgery
He performed bunion surgery on my right foot. Making me arrive two hours prior to the start time seemed like a waste of time especially since my start time was pushed back almost an hour but that was the only negative point through the process. The support staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the prepping area was clean and comfortable. Follow up appointment was made before I left. All in all a great experience.
