A key part of any surgery is safety and comfort. Children with congenital and acquired heart disease have special needs when it comes to anesthesia. Our dedicated team of seven board-certified pediatric cardiothoracic anesthesiologists are highly qualified to provide safe anesthesia for each child based on age, weight, diagnosis, type of surgery or procedure and medical history.
