Anesthesiologist

Physician anesthesiologists are highly trained medical experts who evaluate, monitor, and supervise patient care before, during, and after surgery.  Anesthesiologists have years of medical education and clinical training to make critical decisions should an emergency arise or if a routine procedure becomes complicated, making every second count.  They are responsible for:

• Evaluating your medical condition
• Recommending an appropriate anesthesia plan
• Diagnosing and treating problems that might surface during a procedure
• Making critical, split-second decisions that can save your life
