Traditional, Mobile, and Thought Leadership Services in the Practice of Anesthesia

Houston Anesthesia Consultants (HAC)

Practicing dentistry and surgery in the practitioner’s office or other alternate sites (such as procedural facilities/clinics) with HAC Mobile Anesthesia is affordable for your patients, convenient and profitable for you.

Why refer your patients to another dentist, oral surgeon, or surgery center when you can perform the procedure in your own office? HAC Mobile Anesthesia for dental treatments or surgical procedures allows you to keep your patients and the fees in-house. And because the procedures are done at your location, there's no time spent away from your office, no instruments to forget, and no facility fees for your patients.  Most insurance plans will reimburse the surgeon for incidental expenses used in an office procedure.  In fact, every aspect of this service is beneficial to you and your patients. Our experience has shown that you will probably realize a marked increase in patient referrals once you advertise the use of surgical or dental anesthesia in your office practice.

We treat your patients right.

We never lose sight of the fact that we're representing your office, therefore we treat each patient with professional care and respect. We make the entire process as easy as possible. All patients are preoperatively evaluated and properly prepared for anesthesia by telephone. Unless the patient is over 60 years old or has evidence of co-existing diseases, typically no lab work is required. Our anesthesiologists have extensive expertise in assessing the anesthetic considerations of co-existing medical problems and can schedule a pre-op visit or test several days prior to the procedure if necessary.

With hospital grade office anesthesia (HGOA.pdf) services such as administering oral premedication, you can now offer your pediatric patients a smooth, very comfortable, atraumatic mask induction of general anesthesia.  Depending upon patient type and the dental or surgical procedure being performed, intramuscular injection with anesthetic agents may also be considered.  Once the patient is asleep, this is usually followed by the secured airway protection of a naso-tracheal intubation. With select adult dental patients utilizing a dam, the Flexible Laryngeal Mask Airway, which provides a pharyngeal barrier while maintaining a patent airway, may be utilized as an alternative.  For pediatric dental or surgical patients, HGOA by inhalation mask induction is utilized whereas with adult patients, anesthesia options include HGOA by inhalation, TIVA-GA and TIVA-sedation. With our anesthesia techniques, patients tend to emerge promptly after the procedure, and are usually discharged in about 30-45 minutes, feeling comfortable and pain free. Postoperative telephone checks are routinely performed after the first 24 hours. In the rare event of an undesirable anesthetic side effect, we are always available to your patient. We make sure the experience goes as smoothly as possible for everyone concerned.
