While general anesthesia is newly offered here, it is not new to the doctor and anesthetist who administer it. Last year CRC underwent a major renovation and expansion of our clinic site. In the process we created a surgical suite equipped with the latest technology making possible to offer general anesthesia as an option. In January a new doctor joined our team bringing with her more than 18 years experience in women's health care and 13 years experience doing abortions under general anesthesia. After 19 years of successfully providing abortion under local anesthesia, FWHC made the decision to start offering general anesthesia for one main reason.
Clients ask for it.
After conducting careful research about the safety of general anesthesia, we made the decision to add this service. We visited several different clinics to see how they administer the anesthesia as well as how they have designed the physical layout of their clinics. Then we re-designed our space to accommodate our plans. We are proud to able to offer a full spectrum of choices to women. Some women prefer general anesthesia because they have had it before and liked it.
