Radius Anesthesia Services provides high-quality anesthesia care to patients throughout the New York City area. Our organization is led by dedicated physicians who make patient care and safety their top priorities. We understand that undergoing surgery or any medical procedure requiring anesthesia can be an incredibly stressful experience for both the patient and their family. Our mission is to provide the highest level of perioperative care and safely guide you through your procedure, ensuring your peace of mind every step of the way.
Your Anesthesia Care Team
Our team of board-certified anesthesiologists is committed to answering all your questions before your surgery begins. We believe in empowering you with knowledge, and the procedure will only proceed once you feel completely informed and comfortable with the information you have received. We also understand that post-operative care is just as crucial as the care provided before and during your surgery. Therefore, our anesthesiologists meticulously oversee your recovery period to ensure it is without incident, so you can safely and swiftly return home to your loved ones. We also have a patient-friendly billing department that is readily available to answer any questions you may have before or after your procedure. We are proud to be fully compliant with all national and state billing regulations.
Types of Anesthesia We Provide
The type of anesthesia you receive is tailored to the specific surgery you are having. For more extensive and invasive procedures, general anesthesia is often necessary. This type of anesthesia involves you being completely asleep, with a breathing tube in place to support your respiration. An anesthesia machine may be used to deliver anesthetic gases to keep you asleep and breathe for you. During the anesthetic, you may be given additional medications to relax your muscles, which makes it easier for the surgeon to operate. Potent pain medications may also be administered intravenously to ensure your comfort.
Many less invasive surgeries and procedures, however, can be performed without the need for general anesthesia. For these, we may use intravenous (IV) sedation along with supplementary oxygen. Modern anesthesia medications used for procedures like a colonoscopy or breast biopsy are designed to allow for rapid recovery, wearing off quickly so you can wake up faster.
For surgeries on a specific part of the body, such as shoulder arthroscopy or wrist surgery, we may use regional anesthesia. This involves numbing only the area being operated on. Our anesthesiologists are skilled in using advanced tools like a nerve stimulator or ultrasound device to precisely guide a small needle next to a cluster of nerves. A local anesthetic is then injected, providing targeted numbness. To help alleviate any anxiety during regional anesthesia, the anesthesiologist may also give you additional medication through an IV. This class of anesthesia also includes spinal and epidural anesthesia, which are commonly used during childbirth.
Our Dedication to You
Our anesthesiologists at Radius Anesthesia Services are not only experienced and proficient in all these types of anesthesia, but many also have subspecialty training in interventional pain management to assist patients with chronic pain. We are dedicated to providing anesthesia care to the wonderful patients of New York. It is our privilege to serve as a resource for you, offering answers to both clinical and non-clinical questions about your anesthesia or the perioperative period. We hope to serve as a beacon of safety and a source of education, guiding you through your surgery and providing the public with valuable information about the field of anesthesiology.
