At the University of Minnesota Department of Anesthesiology, we partner with patients and families before, during, and after surgery to ensure safe, compassionate, and personalized care.

Following a comprehensive preoperative evaluation, your anesthesiologist will develop an anesthesia plan tailored to your medical history, procedure, and individual needs. Throughout your surgical experience, from preparation through recovery, our team continuously monitors your health, comfort, and safety. Your well-being is our highest priority at every step.
