Can I directly request Dr. Manning for my anesthesia?

While you can discuss preferences with your surgeon, the assignment of an Anesthesiologist is typically managed by the hospital's anesthesia department or the surgical group based on scheduling, expertise required, and availability.

Do Anesthesiologists only work in the operating room?

While the OR is central, Anesthesiologists like Dr. Manning often work in other areas too, including:

Will I definitely meet the Anesthesiologist before my surgery/procedure?

You will always have an anesthesia assessment before your procedure. For major surgeries or complex health issues, this often occurs at a pre-admission clinic days or weeks beforehand. For healthier patients undergoing shorter procedures, the detailed discussion and assessment with Dr. Manning (or a colleague providing your care that day) may happen just before the procedure starts. In either case, your questions will be answered.
