Summary
- I am a physician anesthesiologist with Central Anesthesia Service Exchange (CASE) and am associated primarily with Sutter General in downtown Sacramento. I work at outpatient surgery centers as well, including Capital Pavilion, Sutter Alhambra, Sutter Elk Grove, Fort Sutter, and Sutter Fairfield.
I pride myself on being the safest physician possible, but in the context of administering the highest quality anesthetic possible. I am aggressive with preventing post operative nausea vomiting (PONV), waking up patients with as little pain as safe and possible, and utilizing cutting edge techniques to achieve safety and comfort for my patients.
I also pride myself on having excellent repoire with my patients and making them feeling at ease understanding that surgery is often one of the biggest days of my patients' lives.
