Anesthesia during surgery: tell me what I need to know.

Our primary goals are to keep you safe and comfortable during surgery. All of our procedures are performed in our private, state-licensed Ambulatory Surgery Center under the direction of our fully committed surgical team.

Anesthetic medications are delivered through an IV, and the depth of sedation can be adjusted as needed. Depending on your health status and procedures being performed, we may opt to deliver oxygen via a small tube in the nose or a small tube that goes into the mouth. You will not be aware of the procedure and won’t remember it afterward. Patients are fully asleep during surgery without any memory and wakefulness during the procedures. Your eyes are closed, you're not awake nor talking, and you have no recollection of the procedure.

Case length may vary from 1 to 6+ hours, depending on which procedure(s) you're undergoing, and rest assured that our Anesthesiologist is at your side the entire time, monitoring your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels the entire time.
