Anesthesia care
Your anesthesia care starts before the day of surgery. We review your medical history, medications and any previous problems with anesthesia, then discuss the plan for your procedure.
Preoperative assessment
Why your surgeon and anesthesiologist work together
The procedure, your health and your recovery needs all affect the anesthesia plan. Your surgeon and anesthesiologist review those details together and discuss any concerns before surgery.
On the day
Your anesthesia clinician manages your anesthesia and monitors you throughout the procedure. Your surgeon performs the operation.
During recovery
We plan for pain relief, nausea and any support you’ll need after the procedure. Before discharge, you’ll receive instructions for recovery and follow-up.
Where care takes place
Office visits and hospital procedures
Consultations and pre-op visits take place in Suite 205B. Our clinicians hold privileges at Inova Fair Oaks Hospital for advanced procedures that require hospital care.
