Welcome to the Division of Pediatric Anesthesia
Our pediatric anesthesiologists are specially trained to meet the anesthetic needs of children for their diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical procedures. We recognize that anesthesia can be a frightening subject for both children and their families, and we want to make the patient experience as free from stress as possible. We are above all committed to taking care of children so that they can go to sleep and wake up safely and comfortably.
