Northwell Health has opened Northwell Health Physician Partners (NHPP) Otolaryngology at 244 Westchester Ave. in White Plains. The 3,000-square-foot facility is intended to meet what Northwell describes as a growing demand for both adult and pediatric otolaryngology services in the region. Northwell said the facility cost $2 million to develop.
“For too long, Westchester County has faced a significant shortage of comprehensive otolaryngology services,” said Dr. Aron Kandinov, a Northwell ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist in Westchester and lead physician for the site. “Our new practice fills a critical gap, providing patients with convenient access to a full spectrum of specialized ear, nose and throat services, delivered with the prompt, compassionate care they deserve.”
The site features eight exam rooms and offers a broad range of otolaryngology, neurotology and audiology services. Some of the conditions treated include nasal congestion, chronic sinus issues, facial traumas and lesions, voice and swallowing disorders, and head and neck tumors. There is a hearing aid dispensary and the site is fully equipped to perform advanced procedures for both adult and pediatric patients. Northwell said that patients requiring more complex surgical care will be treated at the nearby Surgical Specialty Center of Westchester or Phelps Hospital.
“Having long championed the expansion of top-tier ENT services to Westchester, it’s incredibly rewarding to see this vision take root,” Dr. Yosef Krespi, an otolaryngologist at Northwell Health said. “Our team brings a depth of expertise and innovative treatments for complex airway issues and sleep apnea to advanced audiology and more. This new practice is just the beginning of our vision for comprehensive ENT care in Westchester.”
According to added Dr. Brett Miles, vice president of otolaryngology for Northwell in New York City and Westchester County, “The opening of NHPP Otolaryngology at White Plains marks a vital step in our regional expansion. This state-of-the-art facility, coupled with our expert team, reinforces Northwell’s dedication to providing high-quality, coordinated and accessible care to the Westchester community.”
Northwell Health Physician Partners describes itself as the largest physician group in New York state, with more than 4,000 doctors.
