Why Families Choose Us
Specialty Pediatric Care
- Our cardiac anesthesiology team provides state of the art inpatient and outpatient anesthesia services for children facing heart surgery, diagnostic and interventional catherization, non-invasive cardiac imaging, and other cardiac repairs.
- All of our pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists are trained to work directly with the anesthetic and perioperative needs of a unique population—children with disorders of the heart. Because this is such a specialized group, we hand-select only the top medical providers in the field.
Cardiac Care and Beyond
- When children are active participants in their own care, surgery is a more positive experience. Discussions with patients and their families are part of the pre-operative routine at Children’s Hospital, and we have Child Life specialists available to explain the process in a manner appropriate for your child’s age, abilities, and previous hospital experience.
- Our affiliation with Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute ensures we can offer the most advanced strategies, tools, medication, and techniques available in the field of pediatric cardiac anesthesiology.
Additional Services
Cardiac Anesthesiologists Available 24/7
- Cardiac anesthesiologists are needed for more than just regularly-scheduled surgeries. Any time a child with heart disorder faces a painful procedure or series of tests, it's important to have a cardiac anesthesiologist on hand. That's why Children's Hospital Oakland provides access to these professionals at any hour of the night or day.
- Because our Children's Heart Center specializes in diagnostic technology and non-invasive cardiac imaging as well as surgical intervention, our anesthesiologists are prepared to support your child through every kind of treatment.
Pediatric Cardiology Support Staff
- Our board-certified cardiac anesthesiologists are backed by a team of nurse anesthetists, pediatric surgeons, anesthesia technicians, and support staff, so there’s never any question about your child’s access to the top professionals in pediatric care.
- Pediatric anesthesia is about more than medication—it’s also about making sure that children are safe and comfortable. Our kid-friendly environment and Child Life support staff help alleviate anxieties and fears related to anesthesia.
