Surgery Care Team
Surgeons
Our highly trained surgeons specialize in treating disease through surgery across several specialties.
Anesthesiologists
Anesthesiologists deliver anesthesia before surgery and evaluate and monitor the patient during and after surgery.
Anesthesiology assistants
Anesthesia assistants are health-care professionals who have been specially trained to provide care for patients receiving anesthesia. They also provide support to the anesthesiologist, assist with airway management and monitor the patient while they are sedated.
Operating room nurses
Operating Room (OR) nurses assess and monitor patients before and during surgery, ensuring all equipment is available and sterilized, and assisting the surgeon during the procedure.
Post- Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) nurses
Post- Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) nurses monitor vital signs and the patient's level of consciousness while the anesthesia wears off. They also treat any symptoms and side effects patients may experience as a result of the anesthesia and surgery, such as pain and nausea.
