The mission statement of Northern Inyo Hospital, "People you know, caring for people you love" summarizes the model of anaesthesiology to which I ascribe. I aim for the highest possible standard of compassionate clinical care and above all - the relief of patient suffering throughout my patients' hospital stay and beyond (as needed). I accept nothing less than the best possible care for my patients and Northern Inyo Hospital is THE model of excellence for achieving that standard in Inyo county California and (in my opinion) for all the facilities (both academic institutions and community hospitals ) where I have previously been a medical staff member.
