What does an Anesthesiologist do?
To maximize your pet’s safety under anesthesia or sedation, an Anesthesiologist can customize the type and dose of the anesthesia required when doing a procedure on your pet.

They can carefully administer and monitor your pet’s anesthesia/sedation levels while your pet is undergoing a procedure and ensure a high level of safety under anesthesia.

After a procedure or during times of traumatic injuries, an anesthesiologist can also develop a regimen of pain medications to keep your pet comfortable and pain-free while they are convalescing.

Quotes

Thanks again for everything you did for me the past couple months while I was a patient at your hospital. I know each and every person on your staff helped me in some way. The care and compassion shown by everyone was fantastic and thanks to you I am able to play with my brother again and go for long walks everyday.

A special thanks to Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Meinen for their part in my recovery. Without you I might not be here today.
