Credentials

Dr. Glen Nykwest, Armonk, NY

Dr. Nykwest is pleased to announce that he now has consulting privileges at Northern Westchester Hospital Center. This is a first for Chiropractors in Westchester County. These privileges open certain hospital based examination services to Dr. Nykwest with the ability to more easily access patient records (such as x-ray reports and images) so that he can better serve his patients.

With Chiropractic services now being available at Northern Westchester Hospital, the barrier to Integrative Medicine services in the hospital has been removed. This means that if you are hospitalized at Northern Westchester Hospital and believe you would feel better with Chiropractic treatment (how can you not get a stiff neck & back on those hospital beds!) you can ask your admitting physician to authorize a consultation with Dr. Nykwest.
