I have been a patient of Dr. Toh for over a year. She has been an AMAZING doctor and person. She treats you as a individual and goes beyond the norm to research the necessary treatment. Dr. Toh is always ready to communicate through email if you have a problem. She is professional, knowledgable and compassionate!

Dr.Toh is excellent and extremely helpful and proactive. I had an urgent issue recently and she fit me in to her crowded schedule. What I didn't know was that she was the only one in the office as the other doctor was out. This made this even more admirable. All areas of the office have air filters and the waiting room has acrylic barriers between seats. The staff is kind, friendly and professional. Top notch office.

This is my first tine writing a review, but Dr. Toh is such a superb doctor I felt it important to share my experience. I came to her several months ago with really bad extrema flareups, literally in tears because my dermatologist at Weill Cornell was only able to treat me with steroid cream, so I never got to the source. When I asked my internist at Weill Cornell, one of the top physicians there, to recommend an allergist, I expected her to refer me to an allergist at the hospital, but instead she referred me to Dr. Toh and said categorically she's the best allergist in the city, that she's sent a lot of her patients to Dr. Toh and their care and treatment has been excellent. I couldn't agree more. I've never been to such a meticulous doctor. She takes the time in her first meeting with you to get all the information needed to move forward, was so caring when I started crying with frustration; she has taken me through every step of testing, doing far more than an allergist I saw a decade ago at Weill Cornell, who did some of the same tests as Dr. Toh, but was not nearly as thorough. Dr. Toh has already gotten to the bottom of one of my main allergies, chemicals used in hair dye, and within two weeks the awful--and embarrassing-- eczema breakouts on my face disappeared! I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with Dr. Toh and her excellent team of nurses etc. Dr. Toh is endlessly patient, empathetic, analytical, knowledgeable, and reassuring. I've shared with two friends how excellent my treatment has been and that Dr. Toh is getting to the root of my problems when no other doctor could, and two of my friends are so impressed with what i described that they will be making appointments with her office. If there was a rating higher than 10, I would absolutely give it to her. You are in the most amazing hands with Dr. Toh!

Dr. Toh is a very caring and empathetic doctor. She takes her time to answer questions, reassure you, and is thorough in all of her next steps. It's clear she truly enjoys her profession and cares about ther patients, which is such a needed and added bonus in a doctor . Highly recommend

I took my 8 month old to see Dr. Toh for an allergy test. She was very judgemental for how we wanted to introduce allergens to our baby at home. She asked what website we read it on, said again and again "you did what?!" and didn't really explain well what her treatment plan was. Our baby is thriving so no idea why she had to emphasize she didn't agree with our method. It already happened so no use in being rude about it. She has strong opinions and very little time for us. Felt rushed and didn't have the full picture as to what's going on with my baby.
