One of the subspecialties offered at SCVMC is pediatric anesthesiology. This subspecialty is devoted to the care of infants, children and teenagers. Whether it's elective surgery or because of a traumatic accident, we take the additional step to provide our youngest patients with pediatric trained anesthesiologists devoted to their care.
Our pediatric anesthesiologists are knowledgeable in the care of premature infants with congenital anomalies and illnesses. They are experienced in treatment of the normal, healthy child as well, and have a thorough understanding of the physiology and psychology unique to children. Our staff works to ensure a stress-free environment for our smallest patients and to provide the best possible pain control during their visit as long or as short as that might be. And equally important, our pediatric anesthesiologists are sensitive to the needs of parents knowing full well that they entrust their children to their care.
