Two of my children where hospitalized in Westchester Medical. Both times I was very impressed with the quality of care. I am not saying that there where not mistakes but the nurses where really nice and they went out of their way to make my stay with my kids as comfortable as possible.
I also took one of my sons to the ER of Columbia Presbyterian babies hospital and I was impressed there too. My son needed a sonogram and we where waiting in the waiting room for our turn, we where sitting next to some elderly senile men, the nurse came over and told us to wait in an empty room because she thought my son who was 11 at the time would be more comfortable.
