Patient stories

Ever since I gave birth to my son Jack almost a year ago, I’ve actually been trying to think of the best way to put into words how I feel about the exceptional care I received from Laurie Bell, my nurse. Jack’s delivery wasn’t easy. He was a C-section baby and had fluid in his lungs when he was born, so he ended up in the NICU for a day. I also felt so sick from the anesthesia after my procedure. It was all a lot to handle for a first-time mom, but my husband and I both appreciated Laurie’s compassionate care so much that we still talk about it. We are endlessly grateful.

I was well taken care of at White Plains Hospital and had complete confidence from the day I arrived until the day I left after my last procedure.

Having undergone the first leadless pacemaker implementation to occur at White Plains Hospital, I can affirm its ease, Dr. Wang popped it in and that was it…Going forward, I felt fine!

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 50, I knew I needed to find a surgeon who not only had outstanding clinical skill, but a caring and compassionate bedside manner. I found that in Dr. Preya Ananthakrishnan, Director of Breast Surgery at White Plains Hospital. When I met with her, I got this feeling that came over me—this warm, peaceful, good feeling about this doctor. I walked out of there educated. I knew my decision without being scared out of my mind. I knew I was in the best of hands.

Gastric sleeve surgery has given me a second chance in life and the support and the staff at White Plains Hospital is what I attribute to my success.

As I lost the weight, I gained energy, health and a positive attitude. This was not an easy decision, but one I wish I would have done long ago. The support of my family, friends and the staff at White Plains Hospital is what I attribute to my success. Losing 110lbs has made life more enjoyable and ultimately has helped me to physically and mentally tackle my MS issues.
