PATIENT EDUCATION

We understand that the majority of people are apprehensive about any type of medical procedure that involves anesthesia. Understanding the role of the anesthesiologist in your procedure and learning more about the practice of anesthesiology may lessen any fears you may have.

The American Association of Anesthesiologists provides patient education via their online brochure "Anesthesia and You." This online resource answers many common questions regarding anesthesiologists and anesthesia, and what to expect the day of your procedure. To read "Anesthesia and You" please click here.
