White Plains Hospital: Choosing the Right OB-GYN for Pregnancy
“The birth process is a very personal and private matter, so patients need someone who is knowledgeable and will build trust with the family,” says Dr. Nabil Khoury, an OB-GYN with White Plains Hospital Physician Associates who has been practicing in the region for more than 27 years.

He offers this advice:
Ask around. Talk to a trusted healthcare provider you respect to see if they have any recommendations. Family and friends who have had a positive experience with their OB-GYN can be another avenue to finding the right provider. OB-GYN physicians who deliver at White Plains Hospital can also be found online at wphospital.org.
Look for a provider who is reassuring. “With any pregnancy, it’s normal to feel fear of the unknown. An important part of your OB-GYN’s role is to reassure patients, educate them, and carry them through the whole process,” Dr. Khoury says.
Seek a collaborative experience. Dr. Khoury emphasizes the team approach at White Plains Hospital, which includes Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) physicians who work alongside your OB-GYN. This collaboration allows for genetic testing in the preconception period and throughout the pregnancy. The team can also manage high-risk or complicated pregnancies, working together to achieve a healthy outcome for both mother and baby.
Dr. Khoury and his team also have access to other hospital services when needed. For example, if a woman is anemic and requires an iron infusion during pregnancy, his office will coordinate with the hematology department to ensure she receives timely care. “If a problem arises, we take care of it and put the mother in touch with the specialist she needs to see. If a patient calls us with a need for an appointment or a question, we are accessible and can facilitate that appointment as soon as possible,” he explains.
