Provider Testimonials
Kevin has provided anesthesia at our surgery center for several years. He works well with our staff and is conscientious about his work. He gets great reviews from our patients and we are glad to have him as part of our team.
Stuart Cardon DPM FACFAS
Kevin is a great Anesthetist! We have been working with him for almost 10 years. It has been a great benefit to have him focus solely on the welfare of the patient through sedation while we focus on the dental procedures and surgeries. My team loves the days each month that they get to work with Kevin. He has been able to work each case whether easy or difficult to the satisfaction of both doctor and patient. We look forward to the many years to come!

Definitions
IV (Intravenous) General Anesthesia: With Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA), the patient is asleep and unable to be aroused. TIVA allows our provider to tailor doses and medications to the patient’s specific needs and to the dental or surgical procedure being provided. Our provider stays with the patient throughout the entire procedure, from the time of induction until the patient is ready to go home. Benefits of TIVA include quick induction, personalized treatment, minimal hangover, rapid recovery and very low incidence of nausea.
IV Sedation: This type of sedation, also known as Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) allows the patient to be relaxed and possibly even sleep throughout the procedure. IV Sedation helps relieve anxiety and allows the patient to have a comfortable, semi-awake state of consciousness. The patient will be very relaxed and most likely not have any memory of the procedure. Our provider adjusts medication to keep the patient comfortable, while the patient is able to respond to verbal commands as needed.
