Welcome to the Department of Medicine at Westchester Medical Center. Our department offers outstanding inpatient and outpatient primary and subspecialty care in every area of internal medicine. Our attending physicians have trained at and have been recruited from leading institutions in the United States and they also direct outstanding teaching programs here in our own institution. Our physicians also serve as the core clinical faculty members of New York Medical College, and they are actively engaged in clinical research and teaching. They are leaders in their fields, regionally and nationally.
Because of the quality and wide-ranging expertise and experience of our physicians, we are able to care for patients with the most complex medical problems imaginable. Our ability to offer comprehensive clinical care means that all of a patient’s medical needs can be met within our department and within the larger medical center, with its staff of outstanding physicians and surgeons in every discipline, including surgery, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, and interventional and diagnostic radiology. We have expanded our outpatient practices in general internal medicine and all of the medical subspecialties in the Hawthorne practices, the Ambulatory Care Pavilion at Westchester Medical Center, and at other locations in Westchester.
We look forward to caring for you and to meeting all of your medical needs.
