Areas of Practice
Anesthesiology is the medical specialty dedicated to the comprehensive care of patients before, during, and after surgery or medical procedures that require anesthesia. Anesthesiologists complete 4 years of medical school and over 5 years of specialized training in anesthesiology to ensure patient safety and comfort by administering medications that block pain, induce sedation, or render a patient unconscious, depending on the nature of the procedure.
The practice of anesthesiology goes far beyond simply "putting patients to sleep." It involves thorough preoperative assessments, careful intraoperative monitoring of vital signs and organ function, and postoperative pain management. Anesthesiologists are also experts in critical care medicine, resuscitation, and managing complex medical conditions that may affect surgical outcomes.
Anesthesiologists play a vital role in the operating room team, collaborating closely with surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients. Their work requires a unique combination of technical expertise, real-time decision-making skills, and a strong commitment to patient safety and comfort.

Aesthetic medicine is a rapidly growing field dedicated to enhancing and rejuvenating a person’s appearance through minimally invasive procedures. At the core of this specialty are injectable treatments, which offer effective, non-surgical solutions to address signs of aging, restore facial volume, and improve skin quality.
Common injectable treatments include:
Botox and neuromodulators – used to relax facial muscles and smooth dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.
Dermal fillers – made of substances like hyaluronic acid, used to restore volume, contour the face, and reduce the appearance of static lines and folds.
Non-surgical Thread Lifts - a minimally invasive method to left and support sagging skin while stimulating increased collagen and elastin production.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) – regenerative treatments that use a patient’s own blood components to stimulate collagen, improve skin texture, and promote natural healing.
Aesthetic medicine blends science and artistry, requiring precision, an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy, and a strong commitment to patient safety. The goal is to achieve natural-looking, refreshed results tailored to each individual’s features and aesthetic goals.
Aesthetic Medicine
Botulinum Toxin, more commonly known as Botox, can be used to treat some challenging pain conditions and unwanted excessive sweating. These conditions can be physically and emotionally debilitating, affecting every aspect of a person's life.
Botox for treatment of pain related to migraines, cluster and tension headaches is an effective method to significantly reduce the frequency of headaches, often providing 6-8 months of significant relief.
Botox can also be used to treat other pain conditions such as myofascial pain disorder, TMJ Pain, postherpetic neuralgia (pain related to shingles), and cervical dystonia.
Treating pain with Botox can reduce the dependence on opioids and other pain medications and improve one’s quality of life at work and home.
Finally, Botox is a proven method to significantly improve the quality of life for those who suffer from excessive sweating of the underarms or hands.
Platelet Rich Plasma therapy has been used for decades to help treat pain related to mild to moderate osteoarthritis and to treat tendon and ligament injuries and strains.
Anesthesiologists are specialists in the treatment of pain. By reducing pain and improving function, they help support patients in reclaiming their lives. The practice of pain medicine requires a compassionate, multidisciplinary approach that addresses both the physical and emotional dimensions of pain, tailoring treatment to each individual's unique needs.
