River Valley Anesthesia

As a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), I enjoy being solely responsible for designing a unique anesthetic plan to every patient to reduce pain throughout his or her perioperative experience.  I take pride in educating my patients about a safe & effective anesthetic plan in order to reduce their anxiety about their surgical experience.  Being a CRNA is an extremely rewarding profession; I feel privileged to come to work everyday.
