Jean L. Chelala, MD

Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I have been serving the lower Hudson Valley residents for the last 23 years, I live in the community and care about the well-being of my patients.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
My patients should expect the ultimate professionalism, a caring physician who is providing care with the latest available technology

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
I love traveling and swimming

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
Neonatology is a rewarding specialty, you see the fruits of your labor when you discharge home a previously sick baby after long weeks or even months in the NICU
