Our group of anesthesiologists provides all of the obstetrical anesthesia care at St. Joseph Hospital.  We are experts in pain relief during labor, and work with you and your obstetrical provider to develop a plan that suits you best.  If you need a C-section, one of our physicians will discuss your options for anesthesia and will be with you during the surgery to ensure your comfort and safety.  An anesthesiologist is always available to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have regarding pain relief during labor, epidurals, or C-sections.  Just ask your nurse to contact us and we will be happy to talk with you.
