Anesthesiology

Anesthesiology is the administration of pain-killing drugs during surgery and other medical procedures. Anesthesiologists are highly trained and certified professionals who must understand each patient's particular tolerance to the various anesthetic drugs as well as the interactions with medications a patient may be taking.

In addition to administering anesthesia related to surgery and/or medical procedures, the anesthesiologists at Roger Williams Medical Center are noted for their expertise in the area of pain management for individuals suffering from chronic pain due to injury, illness, or disease.
