Anesthesia Expert Witness – Ambulatory Surgery

Independent medical-legal review of perioperative care, anesthesia management, and ambulatory surgery systems.

Ambulatory surgery cases require a nuanced understanding of perioperative workflows, anesthesia management, and outpatient surgical systems.

As a board-certified anesthesiologist with extensive leadership experience in ambulatory surgery centers, Dr. Rodriguez provides expert analysis of standard-of-care issues in both clinical and operational contexts.

Ambulatory surgery centers operate under unique constraints, including limited resources, rapid patient turnover, and strict patient selection criteria.
