Did you know that natural supplements like Garlic, Ginkgo Biloba, and Ginseng can actually increase your risk of bleeding during surgery?

Even though herbal supplements are "natural" and available over the counter, they can have powerful interactions with anesthesia and your blood's ability to clot. Your Nurse Anesthesiologist needs a complete list of everything you take daily—not just prescriptions! We will let you know exactly which vitamins and supplements you need to pause before your procedure to keep you perfectly safe.

Surgery is one of the most vulnerable moments in a person's life. Our Nurse Anesthesiologists know that their job goes far beyond administering medication—it is about providing calm, reassurance, and steady comfort when our patients need it the most.

"Do you have any loose teeth, crowns, or dentures?"

When you are placed under general anesthesia, your Nurse Anesthesiologist carefully guides a breathing tube past your mouth and vocal cords to keep your lungs safe. Knowing exactly where your fragile dental work or loose teeth are allows us to use specialized techniques and equipment to protect your smile while you sleep!
