What to Expect

Your animal will be cared for by a team consisting of a board certified anesthesiologist, anesthesia resident, registered veterinary technician, and a senior veterinary student who will develop individualized anesthetic plans for each patient. The senior student, under direct supervision, will administer anesthesia and monitor an individual patient throughout the anesthetic episode.
