Meet the providers of Paragon Anesthesia

Paragon Anesthesia only employs board eligible or board-certified anesthesiologists who demonstrate a passion for unparalleled, superior patient care. We also use rigorous credentialing standards to select our certified registered nurse anesthetists. These requirements are because we take quality and safety seriously. Our providers are exceptionally qualified to ensure best practice, safe, efficient, and friendly care for our patients, surgeons, and operating rooms.



Our Doctors

  • BOARD-CERTIFIED ANESTHESIOLOGISTS

    Anesthesiologists are the physician consultants who design the anesthetic and pain management plan and advocate for their patient’s safety while ensuring the surgeons and facility needs are met. Anesthesiologists undergo three to five years of extensive specialization training after completing their medical school training with a MD or DO degree. After completion of this training, a series of standardized exams by the American Board of Anesthesiology is completed and passed before certification is issued.
