Perioperative Consulting

"The patient's journey doesn't begin when we turn on the surgical lights and it doesn't end when they leave the hospital. I improve patient outcomes and experiences by participating in every step along the way."

– Dr. Michael Grinn

From Diagnosis to Recovery

Preparing patients prior to procedures requiring anesthesia can improve outcomes and reduce risks. Testing and pre-surgical assessments ensure compatibility before the patient even enters the hospital, reducing their cost and inconvenience while improving their outcomes, and attenuating post-procedure pain. Care following procedures quickens recovery times, reduces pain, and helps patients to fulfill physical therapy.
