Don't be afraid my little friend
Give me your smile, take my hand
Yes, "A-n-e-s-th-e-s-i-a" is hard to say,
But let me help you, if I may.
Just go to sleep, and pick a dream
About Mommy and ice-cream

As subspecialty trained pediatric anesthesiologists, members of our Pediatric Division provide care tailored to the special needs of each child. Each of the eleven physicians of this division has advanced training in pediatric anesthesiology, and offers state of the art anesthesia care. Also, the Pediatric Anesthesia Division offers postoperative pain control by utilizing single-shot and neuraxial catheters that can provide pain relief for several days after surgery.

In accordance with the one-on-one philosophy that Park Ridge Anesthesiology physicians follow, the Pediatric Division provides “one-child-one-doctor” care. We do not rely on nurse-anesthetists, residents, or any other physician substitutes. Be assured that a physician anesthesiologist will be with your child during surgery.

The scope of our responsibilities, however, goes beyond the operating room. We offer children and their parents a pleasant preoperative tour to familiarize them with the surgical experience before their surgery date. We have a dedicated Pediatric Pain Service that provides 24-hour-per-day pain management that minimizes your child’s postoperative pain. This neuraxial type of postoperative pain control can prevent serious post-surgical pain for several days. For more information on post-surgical pain relief, click here. Our physicians also participate in the care of children who require Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT scan) studies, Gastrointestinal (GI) procedures, and other out-of-OR procedures in which we are asked to participate.

Our children deserve the best available medical care,
and with subspecialty trained Pediatric Anesthesiologists-
WE PROVIDE THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE!
