Dr. Robert J Alonso, MD

I have seen Dr. Alonso two times. He is uninterested in helping, doesn't appear to care about symptoms or how they impact quality of life, & perhaps thinks patients can't understand what is going on so offers no explanation (only says to keep taking medicine or may order another test). My 1st visit (waited weeks for) would have only been 7 minutes had I not asked questions. It was under 15 minutes, but his note falsely states he spent 30 minutes with me. At the 2nd visit, he changed his assumption of what was going on with me while implying he didn't. He commented about a result being normal when the abnormal result was the sole reason I started the med he prescribed. When I questioned this, he realized his mistake and apologized. It was odd and it seemed he had no idea what was going on with me. He does not ask about symptoms or side effects unless prompted. At the end of the 2nd appt, he just walked out of the room (had never been to the clinic before as the 1st visit was virtual).… My med record was still pulled up on the computer. Also, it takes 1-2 weeks to hear back about questions/concerns with only half answers sometimes. He is friendly, will prescribe and order tests, but if you want someone to help figure out what is going on and who cares about your quality of life, you should not see Dr. Alonso. I recently saw someone else for a 2nd opinion and am moving my care to that doctor who actually took time to explain things and will help me going forward. If you are scheduled with Dr. Alonso because he has the first available appointment, I would strongly recommend rescheduling and waiting a bit longer to see someone else.

His nurse called me and checked all my info and said he would call me in 15 minutes. Eight hours later still no call. He does not care !! RUN for him

Dr Alonso took the time to listen to my situation and fully assess my situation before sitting down with me and my wife and walking through exactly what he thought was happening with my health. Very few doctors take the time now a days to listen to their patients So it was very refreshing to be seen and treated by Dr Alonso.

Would refer Him to anyone. Great staff, takes his time with you, follow up as promise. I travel 3 hours to see this Doctor and he has been the best thus far.

Didn't seem very interested or concerned about me as a patient. He spent about 5-10 minutes in the room before trying to push me out of the door.

top quality neurologist who does not push for lots of test

Would recommend this doctor to anyone.Very caring and really listened to my problem.

After many months of frustration, Dr. Alonso came to the rescue. Was a life saver.
