The Hand Center has more to offer than just savings. Combined with our welcoming environment, caring health professionals, and latest in equipment and surgical techniques, we provide the value that you expect but rarely find in health care today.
All procedures at The Hand Center...
All procedures at The Hand Center are performed in collaboration with a highly qualified team of anesthesiology specialists, including board certified anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). An anesthesiologist is a physician who specializes in administration of anesthesia and manages patients while under sedation. They play an important but rarely witnessed role in the operating theater.
Our Process
The role of The Hand Center’s anesthesiologists begins with a thorough pre-operative evaluation of each patient and consultation with the surgical team. The team carefully coordinates the anesthetic needs of the patient, the patient’s response to the medication and the requirements of the surgery. During the procedure, the anesthesiologist provides pain control medication and supervises life-support functions. In addition, the anesthesiologist and / or CRNA provides continual medical assessment of the patient. Following surgery, the anesthesiologist ensures each patient fully emerges from the effects of the anesthesia and regains full consciousness.
Patient’s safety and comfort
The utmost concern of the anesthesiology team is the patient’s safety and comfort before, during and after an experience at The Hand Center Patients are encouraged to ask their doctor if their procedure or surgery can be performed at The Hand Center. Advances in surgical technology are making many surgeries, typically performed at the hospital, available in an outpatient setting. New procedures are continually approved, offering patients the opportunity for faster recovery, reduced medical expense and improved outcomes.
