Our Approach

Specialized Expertise

The AMGSB has a strong lineage of physician anesthesiologists trained at top-tier programs. We don't hire just anyone to fill a spot. We have specialty training in cardiac, pediatric, pain management, regional, and critical care fellowships.

Strong Team Cohesion

Focus on Patient Advocacy

We offer clear post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery. We empower patients with knowledge and open communication that enhances patient satisfaction and trust.

This model involves collaborating closely with surgeons and other healthcare professionals to create individualized care plans for patients, including pre-operative assessments, post-operative pain management, and personalized recovery strategies.
