Our board-certified anesthesiologist works closely with our other specialists to make sure each patient has a sedation or anesthesia plan that is as safe as possible. Our team provides excellent perioperative care to make sure patients are comfortable and relaxed throughout their entire hospital stay.

Throughout the entire anesthetic event, each patient will have their vital signs monitored, including heart rate, blood pressure, respirations, electrocardiogram (ECG), pulse oximetry, capnography, and continuous temperature monitoring until their procedure is finished, the pet is awake and resting comfortably. We work alongside each of the specialty services to provide the best care for all types of pets.

  • Pain management pre, post, and intraoperatively

  • Chronic and acute pain management
