She is one of the least intelligent physicians I have ever met and her arrogant, know it all and condescending attitude speaks volumes. Stay away and find yourself a good physician in the area.

I have been a patient of Dr Paltoo for 4 years. She is very through and knowledgeable and takes the time to listen and give suggestions. I was just informed she is leaving her practice at the end of October. She was a wonderful physician and I will miss her.

I started seeing Dr. Paltoo about 2 years ago because I wasn't happy with the dr. that was treating me. Dr. Paltoo listens to what you're telling her and is very gentle with her approach. She doesn't mind spending time explaining things and she gives options regarding different treatment approaches. I'm very pleased with Dr. Paltoo and give her an A+

I've been searching for a new PCP for quite sometime I'm generally healthy but I have a few things that need to be followed by a physician. Dr. Paltoo is wonderful. She is always so pleasant and I trust her decisions. She sits with me and we discuss options and she let's me choose what is best for me. When I leave her office I'm fully informed. I feel like she takes good care of me and cares about my health and wellbeing. She spends the time that I need to answer any questions or concerns. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful physician.

I have been a patient for approximately 2 years and she has always been so thorough, kind, compassionate and caring. She truly cares about her patients and is willing to go the extra mile. I can't say enough about her. Her staff is great as well! They are always very welcoming and smile when you arrive. I am so blessed to have a doctor like her in my life. It's nice to have a doctor that actually cares about her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Paltoo!!
