ABOUT DR. IAN MCALISTER

Highly trained in orthopedic trauma, Dr. McAlister specializes in caring for patients that have sustained an injury to the muscular or skeletal system, such as a fall or car accident, in addition to performing hip and knee replacements. He spent five years in an orthopedic trauma residency at the renowned Mayo Clinic, followed by a one year fellowship at the prominent R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. McAlister joined The Center after working at OrthoIndy, a Level 1 trauma center in Indianapolis.

A native of Central Oregon, Dr. McAlister graduated from Sisters High School. He was inspired to pursue a career in medicine after sustaining a shoulder injury while playing football and receiving surgical treatment from Dr. Jacobson at The Center. After that experience, he knew he wanted to be able to help people in the same way. After twenty years, not only has he achieved that, but he also has the privilege of practicing medicine in his hometown and helping our community that he deeply cares for. He enjoys spending time with his family, playing golf, and traveling.
