In my only contacts with Dr. Jonas, around the end of 2018, he was rude almost to the point of being insulting. Additionally, I made 2 followup calls to his office regarding my care and some medication. I never heard back from him and had to rely on my regular physician for assistance. I obtained what was likely (hope so) the correct diagnosis from Jonas. That is the only reason I am grading him as Fair rather than Poor. Really bad experience during a period when I was sick and worried about it.

It is interesting that only patients with a complaint seem to take the time to post a review. The rest of us quietly enjoy having an excellent doctor without bothering to do this. I wouldn't have posted this now if some idiot patient hadn't posted a lame review against a very professional physician. He has treated me for a long time and I will come back again for more treatments.

I should have reported him to the AZ Board of Medical Examiners. He screamed at me and threw a report across the table at me. He is well known for being rude!
