Personalized Care From
Award Winning Providers
Our Story
Consistently voted Top Anesthesia Providers by Seattle Met Magazine–Advanced Anesthesia Services’ CRNA’s are ranked among the top anesthesia providers in Washington State. Voted Top Anesthesia Provider nearly every year since 2013.
In early 2010 AAS began providing outpatient anesthesia to surgeons throughout the Puget Sound region. We quickly noticed that outpatient surgery facilities were being underserved in our area. Facilities often had to choose between contracting with the large, regional anesthesia groups with their expensive pricing and impersonal service, or using small, independent providers who lacked the resources or training needed to provide the true full service, high-quality anesthesia that small to medium-sized facilities demand. Since those beginnings, we have grown and gained in reputation and size and now work with some of the biggest names in the Puget Sound region. Although we have grown steadily over the years, we still stick to our roots, giving our facilities exceptional anesthesia services with unmatched flexibility and personal attention.
Imagine an anesthesia group that makes customer service a priority. We care about our patients and the facilites that we serve. “Service” is so important to us, we put it in our name. We aspire to provide a level of service to our facilities and our patients that far excedes standards for the industry using data to track and continuously improve the quality of our service. All of our providers are hand-picked, board-certified, and experienced in all areas of anesthesia. They have consistently been ranked among the best anesthesia providers in the area. Just as important, they are level-headed, compassionate, have positive attitudes, and are generally nice to be around. Our Nurse Anesthesiologists are adept at all types of anesthesia including procedural sedation, modern general anesthetia techniques, and regional anesthesia. We keep up on the latest research and techniques in order to provide cutting-edge, modern anesthesia.
While we’ve grown steadily since those first days, we still maintain the personal service you and your patients deserve. Adding new facilities at a steady pace over the years has given us the experience and resources needed to offer our surgeons and patients the absolute best anesthesia available. We have grown, but we still maintain the same core beliefs. We work hard to ensure the success of the facilities we serve, and we treat patients the way we would want to be treated, with respect and dignity.
