Anesthesiologists

An anesthesiologist is a medical doctor (physician) who has completed a post graduate residency in anesthesiology. All Northwest Anesthesia Physicians achieve board certification from the American Board of Anesthesiology shortly after this training.

A member of the anesthesia staff will be with you the entire time you are having your surgery.
