Sentara Anesthesiology Specialists are quality physicians who specialize in anesthesiology. They are responsible for delivering anesthesia safely to patients, and focus on patient care before, during and after surgery. Anesthesiologists have the important job of monitoring a patient's breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure during surgical procedures. Our specialists also ensure patient safety and comfort, as well as direct pain relief during the recovery period.
There are multiple types of anesthesia. Our Sentara Anesthesiologists will work with you and evaluate your health to decide which method is best for you. We believe in taking the time to work with each patient to ensure their questions are answered and concerns addressed. We understand that you are trusting us with your life, and we are here to ensure your health and safety!
