By Norman S. Rice, MD. Chairman of Metropolitan Anesthesia Associates.
Metro Anesthesia is an all physician anesthesia group that has been practicing in the Dallas area for almost twenty years. We are focused on providing the highest quality physicians, and giving the best patient care. We were fortunate to find a Plastic Surgeon who holds similar values of providing excellent patient care along with delivering quality medicine. Over the past two decades we have built a strong relationship based on mutual respect and admiration with Dr. Stagnone and the Plastic Surgery Center of Dallas.
Metro differentiates itself from many other anesthesia groups in Dallas by using only MD anesthesiologists. Nurse anesthesia may offer a lower cost option, and many Plastic Surgeons do use Nurse anesthetists. Others believe that the ability to handle complex anesthesia and potential emergencies is optimized by working with an experienced physician anesthesiologist. Metro always has a physician by your side ensuring that the most qualified person is watching over you.
All of the anesthesiologists at the Plastic Surgery Center of Dallas are highly experienced and are Board Certified by The American Board of Anesthesiology. The physicians in Metro have trained at some of the best hospitals and universities in the country including University of Texas, Harvard University, University of Oklahoma, University of Kansas, USC, John’s Hopkins University, and Yale University to name a few. Metro has had a vast amount of experience in almost all fields of surgery. For seventeen of the last twenty years Metro was the exclusive provider of Trauma Anesthesia at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, where the sickest and most critical patients were cared for on a daily basis. Dr. Stagnone has selected a core group from within Metro, who he feels offers the best balance of skill and compassion for his patients.
Metro physicians also work in the less critical arena of community hospitals where we have consistently been ranked at the top of the Patient and Surgeon satisfaction surveys at multiple hospitals in the Greater Dallas Area. Our commitment to quality and patient satisfaction, along with our dedication to our surgeons, is second to none.
