Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
I went to Dr. Alonso for an issue in my mouth. His exam covered everything BUT what I came to him for. Also, he performed an ear cleaning without getting my consent and then billed me $105 for it. I wound up going to a different ENT and recommend you do the same. Dr. Alonso is not a good doctor.

I highly recommend Dr. Oscar Alonso. Having been one of his patients for 20+ years. He has done an ear surgery, regularly removes wax from my ears, has ordered tests and after leaving a message with results, called again to personally deliver the results, reassure me and ask if I had any questions. He clearly explains things, is friendly, has an excellent bedside manner and truly cares about the well being of his patients. My wife had a throat injury which after she was examined at the ER, told to go home. Upon returning home her throat didn't feel right. We called Dr. Alonso who had Saturday hours, saw her immediately, said it was critical that she be hospitalized as the trauma from the injury might cause swelling cutting off her airway. To note the critical nature of this he offered to call an ambulance as she needed to be attended to quickly. I highly recommend Dr. Oscar Alonso.

Dr. Alonso is an excellent doctor. He is very thorough and takes time to listen and takes time to explain everything to you. I have been very pleased with him. He always calls you to discuss results. I will go to him any time I need him.

Had an appointment to get the wax out of my ears. I was terrified. Dr. Alonso sensed that right away and put me at ease. And he did not hurt me. SOOOOO happy!

Gave initial positive review...but then something changed my mind. Puts personal interest ahead of patient's interests.

The receptionist was extremely rude & now I know why. The doctor!! He was very abrasive and had no bedside manor. He walked in and barely introduced himself. My mother needed to get wax removed so she could get new hearing aides. During the process which was uncomfortable for her he told her she could leave if she didn't stop jumping and he also told my 80 year old mother to stop being such a baby & suck it up!! She's very frail & has dementia. No way I would ever walk in that door again.
