I have been going to Dr. Wattoo since my move to Ithaca 7 years ago. As a nurse, I feel I can say that he is the best physician I know. He has always been courteous and compassionate; he truly spends time with you. He will close his laptop computer and really listen for as long as it takes. My husband and daughter also see him and he focuses on us as a family as well as individuals. When ever I need to be seen, I am frequently seen that very day! He is a keeper!!

i was very impressed with the way Dr Wattoo handled a recent visit to him by my (senior) parents. He took extra time to listen to their complaints and concerns regarding a recent fall. i wish all doctors were as kind & patient, if i was closer i would switch primary doctors. thank you!!

If you are looking for a Dr. to not just prescribe you a pill for a quick fix and work with you to give you the best course of action that you can work with. Here is the Doctor. He doesn't rush you through. You are not just another notch on his insurance claims belt. He takes the time to get to know you and what you need to live a healthy life. Are you willing to do your part?

I have looked many years for a doctor with Dr Wattoo's skills. From his professionalism to his realistic views of the limitations of the medical profession Dr Wattoo is someone I recommend highly.
