An anesthesiologist is the physician who keeps you pain-free and under constant monitoring during surgery or a procedure. You'll typically meet them before your surgery, at your pre-anesthesia evaluation.

An anesthesiologist is a physician who specializes in administering and monitoring anesthesia during surgery, childbirth, and other medical procedures.
Beyond putting you to sleep or numbing the area being treated, they monitor your vital signs — blood pressure, breathing, heart rate — throughout the procedure and your immediate recovery.
Before your surgery, the anesthesiologist reviews your medical history, allergies, current medications, and prior test results.
They'll explain which type of anesthesia fits your procedure and answer your questions about risks and recovery.
This is the time to mention any previous reaction to anesthesia, chronic conditions, or supplements you take — including details from your doctor back home, if you're traveling for care.
