I don't think this guy tells the truth. I'm not sure why it says he works at Foothills Medical Centre, because when I saw him, he said I could pay $1000 to get a real sleep study, or have it done his way at his clinic at 5th Ave NE Calgary across from the CDI College where it would not cost as much, but when I went there, I got freaked out because he told me first he did his training at Stanford University, but while he kept me waiting in one of those small rooms across from the kitchen while he was chatting, I heard him tell a doctor that he did his training at a prison in Texas, USA. Anyway, the other people working there kept trying to sell me a CPAP machine, but when I went back to my family doctor who referred me to a real sleep doctor somewhere else, it turns out I don't even have sleep apnea. This guy is full of it.

Dr. Jerome Alonso is very knowledgeable with his expertise in Sleep Conditions along with his assistant Dr. Mallen. I was diagnosed with a severe sleep apnea over a year ago & with the CPAP machine they recommended & advices on how to do cognitive sleep practices helped me up until this day. Their technician was also very knowledgeable & helpful at the same time. I highly recommend these doctors/technician for their awesome services.

I found Dr. Alonso to be very unethical. My doctor had made the referral because Dr. Alonso did cognitive treatment however when I met with him he advised that he did not find this treatment effective. When I saw my referring doctor she read Dr. Alonso's report to me which included 'cognitive behavior treatment'. At my next appointment with Dr. Alonso, I mentioned this to him and he recommended a private sleep test for $. Of course I declined.

I cannot begin to describe how positive this experience has been! Dr. Alonso and Dr. Mallen both treated me with nothing but respect and understanding. I had been struggling with insomnia for 7 months prior to seeing them, and within a month I was able to fall asleep within 30 minutes and STAY asleep! Nothing else had worked prior to, including prescription sleep medication. They talked to me at my level, took their time to answer any/all questions I had, and made me feel heard, understood, and valid. I no longer dread night time and genuinely look forward to getting into my bed! Thank you for helping me regain control of my life!!

Do not be fooled by the “positive reviews” for this location, mostly posted to their Facebook page. Most of the reviewers do not even live in Calgary! And one of the top reviewers is a page managed by the same office!

Although the doctor may be qualified, the “technicians” are just salesmen, constantly trying to upsell, and the front office staff are mostly rude and exceptionally disorganized.

I am getting a better sleep because of the doctor and the product, but the whole experience is something I would rather avoid entirely!

I have always suffered with tiredness and not able to wake up refreshed every morning. I went to two so called "sleep clinics" but they only wanted to sell me stuff and not discuss treatment options. Found out they weren't really Doctors there in the first place!!!
Thankfully, I was able to find Dr. Alonso who was able to diagnose me properly and give me options that I could try out. Definitely Dr. Alonso helped me and I'm now able to sleep better.

I've been to a couple of clinics trying to get my sleep disorder managed, no luck until I was able to get in touch with Dr. Alonso. I was properly tested, diagnosed and given treatment options by Dr. Alonso. I am now enjoying my CPAP machine fully and have been able to get a good nights rest in over a year now. Highly recommended and knowledgeable in his craft.

Dr. Jerome is very professional and knowledgeable about sleep disorders. I am glad I was able to see him with regard to my sleep problems. Staff and Tech team are also very friendly and accommodating. I am very much happy with his diagnosis and am already seeing some improvement as of this writing

Pros - Gives you sufficient time, is concerned about all health issues not limited to sleep, empathizes by emphasizing the resulting impacts on quality of life your condition may have (so much better than some docs who basically tell you to deal with it)
Cons - He loves listening to himself talk and often restates that he got training at Stanford - and it's world renowned so he knows what he's talking about. I wish he didn't shoot down my suggestions by literally chuckling and throwing out a couple "Stanford"s.

And to be brutally honest I would probably have a way better impression of him if his receptionist was better. She's impossible to get through over the phone, rude, and seems like she's kinda disorganized. However the CPAP tech is amazing!

Overall he's pretty good. Would just suggest a different receptionist and better patient communication
