The Westchester Orthopaedic Institute (WOI) is a collaborative treatment program developed by White Plains Hospital Center (WPHC) and a highly-regarded group of Westchester-based orthopedic surgeons. It provides a full range of orthopedic surgical and non-surgical services to relieve pain and improve function. These include highly-specialized and advanced methods of joint replacement surgery, corrective spinal surgery, and the repair of athletic injuries.

Beginning with pre-operative education, continuing through surgery, and including post-operative physical therapy, the orthopedic surgeons, and other team members of the Westchester Orthopaedic Institute, provide a superior program of orthopedic surgery.
