Anesthesiology

Surgery

Anesthesiologists at Corona Regional Medical Center are perioperative physicians who provide patient care throughout the surgical experience. This includes medical evaluation before surgery, consulting with the surgical team, providing pain control and support of life functions during surgery, supervising care immediately following surgery and medically discharging the patient from the recovery unit.

The expertise of the Corona Regional Medical Center Department of Anesthesiology is well recognized. Our physicians are either board certified or board eligible and have completed extensive training in their specialty and subspecialty areas. The team provides a wide range of anesthesia services, from basic inpatient and outpatient services to the subspecialties of cardiac, obstetrical, ambulatory and neurosurgical anesthesia, in addition to acute and chronic pain management. The Critical Care Division of the Department of Anesthesiology contributes to the overall continuity of care for patients who require the expertise of the intensivist.
