Westchester Hospitals/OB-GYN

edited July 2021 in New York Babies
Hi there - DH and I will be moving from NYC to White Plains in mid-September, 4 weeks before my due date.  I had been planning on keeping my NYC OB and deliver at NYU, but am now thinking that it might be better to switch to one in Westchester - if I can find one that will take me.  What are the best hospitals for having a baby in Westchester and any recommendations on an OB?  Would also welcome opinions on whether going into the city to deliver from Westchester is a big deal.  Thanks!

    I loved my experience at White Plains Hospital. The maternity ward is so clean and nice and the nurses were wonderful.  a very great experience.  I recommend the practice of Dr. Jay Lupin (also Drs. McGovern, Wysocki, etc). Their practice is in WP on Maple Avenue. Good luck!

    When my mother was sick I used to drive to and from NYU every night for 3 months. At the time I was living in Yonkers, and I know going to visit someone isn't the same as having a baby but I think it is doable. I live in northern westchester and gave birth in Greenwich CT. Good luck.

    I delivered both my kids at the Phelps memorial hospital and it was great. Also they have the lowest c-section rate and allow midwives, lactation specialists etc. The drawback is that they dont have a NICU. Your other option is the Westchester Medical center which is also pretty good and another option is the Northern Westchester hospital in Mt.Kisco.

    I delievered at Northern Westchester Hospital (in Mt. Kisco), and I had a fantastic experience.  I have 4 other friends that delivered there as well.  Mount Kisco Medical Group has a large OB/GYN staff and would probably be a good group for you to get into .  Since they are so large, I never had a problem getting appointments, and all of your ultrasounds and blood work are done right in the office (no making appts at other facilities).  All of the OB/GYNs at MKMG deliver at Northern Westchester Hospital.  (Just to give you a frame of reference, Mt. Kisco is exit 4 on 684, so it's not very far from White Plains.  I live about 20 minutes north of Mt. Kisco and it's an easy drive).

    I go to the same West Med practice that the other person mentioned, and Dr. Wysoki is my primary doctor and performed my c-section.  I really liked Dr. Jhang and Dr. McGovern when I met them (wasn't crazy about Lupin, but I know many people are).

    I'm also with the Mount Kisco Medical Group and love the practice.  They deliver at Northern Westchester Hospital, where my son was delivered.  The facilities are brand new, with a NICU, and the staff is phenomenal.  I live just 2 minutes from Phelps (could walk there) but, am still sticking with MKMG and Northern Westchester.

    I delievered at White Plains via c-section and loved it. I go to the WestMed practice in Scarsdale.

    I have a cousin who lives in WP, but works for NYU med center so she delivers there. She's never had an issue getting there for deliveries although I believe she was induced. Figure it'll be a 30 min drive depending on the time of day. Have you asked your current OB what they think you should do?

    I live in Orange County and I delivered at White plains hospital.  I had a GREAT experience there.  They calmed my fears without making me feel foolish.  I use Dr.Ainsworth who is part of the westchester medical group.  When I delivered my son they were just as excited as my family. 

    Also the food at White Plains is great, they even provide meal for the spouse/so.  I thought the first meal they brought me was a fluke because I hadn't eaten in 24 hrs but every meal after was just as good.
