Anesthesia

Anesthesiologists at Confluence Health are physicians dedicated to providing the most advanced, patient-focused and safe anesthesia care available. All of our physicians are licensed by the state of Washington and are certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology.

Throughout surgery, your anesthesiologist will be by your side constantly monitoring physiological changes that can occur. This allows immediate intervention to provide the safest possible anesthesia care available. After the operation has been completed, your surgical team will transfer you from the operating room to the recovery room. There, our nursing staff will continue to monitor your vital signs, degrees of consciousness, pain levels and hydration status until all are stable. Our goal for every patient is to recover as quickly and comfortably as possible.
