Get to Know Our Team

You're more than a chart number.

When we aren't in the operating room, you'll likely find us exactly where you are: on the local trails, at the community farmers market, or enjoying a weekend in the high country.

We are a group of board-certified specialists who chose the Sierras for the same reasons you did — the beauty of the landscape and the tight-knit feel of the community.

To us, you're more than a chart number; you're the person we might see at the grocery store next week.

Our Story

30 Years Of Independence

Thirty years ago, we came together with a shared vision: to provide exceptional, independent anesthesia care to the Sonora community. In an era where healthcare is increasingly dominated by large national corporations, we're proud to remain locally owned and operated. Our providers don't just work here—they live here. Many were born and raised right here in Sonora, bringing a deep, personal commitment to the health and well-being of our neighbors.

The people you'll work beside.

All of our physicians are Board Certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology
