Our physicians and Certified Nurse Anesthetists are very special to our unit. We have a variety of experience with our team and they are wonderful to work with and truly have compassion for the staff, patient and community and do an outstanding job. Our camaraderie with our physician and ancillary staff is unsurpassed. We all work well together to meet our goals.
