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.

My father has been seeing Alonzo for about 2 years. He is very professional and compassionate to my father and his caregivers that are enduring this Alzheimer"s disease with him. I do not wish this disease on any family.

Dr. Alonso was more interested in his own conversation than paying attention to his patient. He answered his family's non-emergency cell phone calls during our time with him. In addition, he refused to change my husband's medication when it was obvious that it was not working.

I was taken to Belleville IL Memorial Hospital, I had had a stroke so they transferred me by ambulance to Missouri Baptist. After all the tests were finished Dr. Alonso came in to talk to me and my husband, he took his time explaining everything so we could understand. He is a nice person and very caring, he will be my neurologist in the future. I highly recommend Dr. Alonso

My dad has been seeing Dr. Alonso since 2016 for treatment of Alzheimer's. I attend each visit with him. He always spends adequate time with us, he is great with how he treats my dad. The medication he has him on is helping immensely with this horrible disease. I would recommend him to anyone with this disease. Debi

He was the most obnoxious doctor I have ever been to. He's arrogant and shows no compassion whatsoever. This is the one and only time I have written a review on a doctor but felt compelled to speak up about this man.

Dr. Alonso is a capable neurologist. If you are looking for a caregiver, however, he is lacking. All by the clock.
