Meet Your Obstetric Anesthesiology Team

Our obstetric anesthesiologists are vital members of the labor and delivery team, providing anesthesia for cesarean deliveries and pain relief during labor and after delivery. In collaboration with our obstetrician and neonatologist colleagues, we create individualized care plans to ensure the safest and most effective pain relief for our patients.
