She is passionate about offering high quality primary care, preventing disease, and creating partnerships with patients to improve acute and chronic conditions. Dr. Paddu completed her residency in Family Medicine at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in Queens, NY.During residency, she cared for many patients who had chronic diseases related to their weight, but had difficult losing weight.
