CRNA-based anesthesia
About
What is a CRNA?
CRNAs are anesthesia professionals who safely administer more than 58 million anesthetics to patients each year in the United States.
CRNAs practice in every setting anesthesia is delivered, including operating rooms and obstetrical delivery rooms; the offices of dentists, podiatrists, ophthalmologists, plastic surgeons; and pain management specialists; and in the military.
CRNA training starts with a RN in nursing, one or more years of clinical experience in the acute care setting, and 3 years in an accredited CRNA program.
What makes us unique?
Many anesthesia providers today trained in one or two hospital settings. Office anesthesia requires flexibility, creativity, and problem solving in order to meet the various needs and challenges that patients in the office setting provide. Ben's training included 10 hospitals and one medical missions trip which imprinted on him the importance of flexibility regarding the implementation of anesthesia. Before embarking on office anesthesia Ben worked at two large hospitals, one stand alone surgery center, and two remote access hospitals. Rather than forcing a system of care on the patient, Ben has learned to utilize his vast experience to find the right fit for each patient.

No, Ben doesn't particularly like going to the dentist so he can understand dental fear. That being said, it still may be safer than home dental treatment. Ben enjoys the office setting because it provides him the time and flexibility to individualize every patient's care. Whether it is a 45 minute wisdom teeth extraction case or a 7 hour all on 4 implant case, he will work with you to ensure your comfort and safety.
