ANESTHESIA TEAM

Our AAAASF certified private operating suite is staffed with the most highly skilled healthcare professionals. Caliber Anesthesia provides all of our anesthesia services, representing only Board Certified Anesthesiologists with a particular expertise in outpatient elective surgery. Most of our procedures are performed under general anesthesia, but what most patients do not realize is that this can mean many different things. For example, many cases do not require intubation or paralysis, meaning that there are far fewer medications used, and a much quicker and easier recovery from the anesthesia itself, with no compromise in comfort or safety. Our team has refined the art of anesthesia for cosmetic procedures, with each case being tailored to that particular patient’s needs. Your anesthesiologist will contact you a day before the procedure for a thorough consultation, and to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Patients will be optimized for surgery in this setting, and every effort will be made for a smooth course. Consistent staff also ensures that all members are comfortable working together, and decisions are made in concert.
