The very thought of surgery can cause extreme anxiety for many patients, especially children. Your child’s surgeon has extensive pediatric anesthesia training and is licensed in the State of Alaska to provide children with a comfortable office surgical experience using a wide spectrum of anesthesia techniques, including nitrous oxide, oral sedation and intravenous (IV) moderate and general anesthesia. Your child’s office-based anesthesia experience will be safe, comfortable, cost-effective and convenient. For those children requiring treatment in the hospital due to the level of complexity of their procedure or contraindications to office sedation, a visit will be arranged by the surgical team for general anesthesia in the operating room setting.
