Dr. Jonathan Aliota, MD

AL Reese02-28-2025Kelsey-Seybold Clinic929 Gessner Rd, Suite 1600Houston, TX 77024Subject: Formal Complaint Against Dr. Jonathan Aliota, M.D.I am writing to complaint against Dr. Jonathan Aliota, M.D., regarding ongoing issues with my cardiac care, including difficulty scheduling appointments and receiving necessary medications.I have been under Dr. Aliota’s care since 2021, during which he placed stents in both the front and back of my heart. Initially no concerns, issues began arising following my second procedure.My last appointment with Dr. Aliota was on 08-25-23, with my next scheduled appointment set for 08-21-24 which was later canceled. After receiving a message to reschedule, followed instructions and was given an appointment for 12-20-25, which was canceled. I rescheduled again for 12-30-2024, to be cancelled. I am in the process of finding another Cardiologist but need medication until appt.The handling of my case is unexceptible.

I've seen Dr. Aliotta a couple of times. Very knowledgeable, personable and professional. Took the time to explain his reasoning and long-term game plan.

Waited over aN hour for hIm. Concerns weren’t addressed. Could have spent more tIme. Been seeing him for years and in the beginning, he was great. Charismatic, attentive, and caring. We loved when he shared cute stories of his family, especially his boyfriend. But over time, he seems more rushed, spends less time, seems distracted and kept checking his cell phone. Felt like someone more important was texting him. His office staff are friendly. Parking is always fine. He does a good job with our medications. We really hope things can improve, but at this point, we are less comfortable having our visits with him. He's a good doctor.

I was a nervous patient and he treated me like I did not exist. I felt like I was wasting his time. Dr. Aliota was constantly on his phone and rarely looked me in the eye. I was made to feel like a no one while in his care. I have since moved onto another Cardiologist for care.

Dr. Aliota is the most personable doctor that we have seen. He investigated and found us answers for a problem that stumped other cardiologists - and he was able to do it while planning around our schedule! He has answered small questions that many other doctors are too aloof to be bothered by. I cannot recommend him enough. Office is great too! Stephanie, PA - VERY knowledgable, friendly, and their answers are always aligned and well explained. Shametria, Nurse, is charming & helpful.

Exceptional

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Aliota for over 12 years. He has always treated me as if I was his only patient. His examinations are thorough, and his explanations are understandable. I highly recommend Dr. Aliota.

Dr. Aliota really took the time to sit down with me, and answer my questions, he posed some solutions that I had not thought of and I thought he was able to back up his ideas. I thought he was very friendly, engaging, and intelligent. I understnad that he probably has to see a cerain number of paitents per day, however I thought he was very respectful of my time and his.

Dr Aliota is very professional and truly cares about my health needs. He is approachable and takes as much time as I need to answer my questions and ensure I understand our approach on my care. I have recommended him to many of my friends who have appreciated this recommendation.

Dr. Aliota has been my cardiologist for 5 years. He is a great young doctor with progressive treatment plans. He is very accessible and I would recommend him to any friend or family member.

Dr. Aliota is exceptionally caring. He truly only wants the best for his patients. He listens to my numerous questions with patience and explains what’s going on in terms that I understand. I feel my heart health is in great hands with Dr. Aliota. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!

Great experience with Dr. Aliota. He has been my cardiologist since 2012, and I appreciate how he doesn't just give medication for a problem; he takes time to guide you to lifestyle changes to actually SOLVE the disease. He takes great care to listen to my concerns and answer questions. My appointments are always thorough. Friendly nurses, too. Appointments are easy to schedule and timely. I recommend him 100%.

As a new patient and a senior with lots of questions I was hesitant to choose Dr Aliota based on his reviews. I followed my referring physicians advice and took a chance. I found him to be thorough, personable and fully engaged. It answered all my questions and diagramed my situation and explained it in detail. It made me wonder who wrote these other reviews. Perhaps the patients are the ones without credibility.

Skilled, competent, and genuinely caring.

Terrible physician. I’m giving one star only because there is not an option for zero stars.

Dr Aliota’s poor bedside manner is overshadowed by his lack of compassion for patients. He is annoyed with patient questions thereby creating an adversarial doctor-patient relationship. Aliota’s ego exceeds both his intelligence and the capacity to see beyond his own personal interests.

During my first appointment with this doctor, I found him to be competent if a bit dismissive. Subsequent visits were acceptable, but the last two visits with him had me spending most of the appointment with his PA, which I did not request, and spending very little time with him. He didn't even listen to my heart (the PA did.) It made me feel like he didn't care enough to do his job himself. I found him to be slightly arrogant and judgmental, although he can be quite charming.
