Patients can rest assured that the quality of their care is secure, and here’s why. If you are going to have surgery, you will be under the watchful care of a team of health care professionals including, but not limited to, the surgeon, an anesthesia professional (either a CRNA or an anesthesiologist, sometimes both), an operating room nurse, a circulating nurse and other providers. Each team member collaborates with the others with one goal in mind: to make sure you receive the safest care and have the best possible outcome.
