The Anesthesia Consultant, written by Richard Novak MD, an Adjunct Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University, is an anesthesia educational website for both laypeople and medical specialists.
A note from Dr. Novak:
I want to thank my readers, as theanesthesiaconsult.com reached the landmark of 3 million all-time views as of June 2024. The Anesthesia Consultant reaches readers in over 100 countries around the world.
The Anesthesia Consultant is a unique source of information. I’m a private practice anesthesiologist who has worked at Stanford University Hospital in Palo Alto, California during five decades: the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010, and 2020s. I’m a hybrid who is both a community and an academic physician. There are over 300 columns and opinion-editorials on The Anesthesia Consultant, written from the viewpoint of a physician anesthesiologist who practices the specialty daily.
The success of theanesthesiaconsultant.com would not be possible without my readers, and I thank you all. I’ll keep writing, and I invite you to keep reading.
