Mark Linde My mother has been a patient at WPH on three occasions over the past few years for the same recurring leg wound, swelling and infection. She was competently and successfully treated the first two times after 1 week and 10 day stays respectively. The recent visit, however, was terrible. Though the staff was friendly, there was no concerted effort to treat my mothers issue. Sure, they pumped her with antibiotics and put some ointments on but there was no other treatment protocol. After two days with no improvement, we had to ask why her leg wasnt elevated or wrapped..."Thats a good idea" was their response. The morning after wrapping the leg well and elevating we saw the first sign of improvement...swelling down and some redness fading. The next night, however, the nurse doing the wrapping did an awful job and even cut the tape with her teeth! It, of course came right off during sleep and provided no benefit. After another day of minimal care and little improvement, my mother called to tell me they were sending her home! I spoke to the doctor and expressed my concern about sending her home when her leg was still grossly swollen and red but was assured that the oral antibiotics taken at home would help. "If it was my mother, I would be comfortable sending her home" he said. This 88 year old woman has been home for 4 days now with the leg as red and swollen as it was the day she entered the hospital. Now, I will have to figure out the next step in trying to get proper treatment.

Christine A. The Labor and Delivery department has really shifted since the last time I was there in 2019. The entire staff is impeccable. They truly care about their patients. Each nurse genuinely cares about your well being, from Amanda, Jayanna, to Thien, to Sinead. I had complications during my labor and delivery and I couldnt have been with better doctors. Dr. Smith and Dr. Robinson explained everything so thoroughly so I could weigh my options and Im so grateful for them. Even housekeeping and food service staff were all so kind. I would definitely recommend White Plains Hospital.
