Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics' board-certified pediatric anesthesiologists are experienced in monitoring and measuring levels of anesthesia, dependent upon each child's age, size and condition.

Often the little things they do – carrying a child to surgery, wearing a Mickey Mouse hat – help alleviate a child's fear and ensure patient satisfaction.

No other hospital in the Kansas City area has a pediatric anesthesiologist attending every child's surgery.
