DIRECTOR Witold M. Waberski, MD

The Department of Anesthesiology provides anesthesia care for all surgical patients at Hartford Hospital and Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.

Approximately 34,000 cases were performed this past year with more than 50% being ambulatory surgery. Major surgery cases encompass virtually every tertiary care specialty. Highly trained subspecialty anesthesiologists direct the care of cardiac, pediatric, obstetric, neurosurgical, and orthopedic anesthesia care.

Subspecialty certified physicians collaborate with the Department of Surgery in providing Critical Care Medicine expertise. Both acute and chronic pain therapy services are available by consultation with our specialists.
