Who we serve
Outpatient settings, exclusively.
Pontine works only outside the hospital — where efficiency, fast recovery, and a finely tuned anesthetic aren’t nice-to-haves, they’re the business model. Each of these settings relies on anesthesiologists who are fast, precise, and built for its pace.
Settings we serve
-
Ambulatory Surgery Centers
ASCs live on throughput and same-day discharge. We deliver on-time first starts, fast turnovers, and regional techniques that send patients home comfortable — the efficiency a center’s economics depend on, without ever trading away safety.
How we cover it -
Endoscopy Suites
High-volume GI lists have zero tolerance for delays or airway surprises. Physician-delivered propofol sedation gives your endoscopists ideal conditions and patients quick, clear-headed wake-ups — room-to-room flow that keeps the schedule honest all day.
How we cover it -
Procedure Rooms
Pain, interventional, and minor-procedure suites need anesthesia that flexes to a fast, varied caseload. We bring titrated sedation and the judgment to keep non-OR environments running as safely and efficiently as a full surgical suite.
How we cover it -
Office-Based Anesthesia
In an office OR, the anesthesiologist is the safety system. We bring hospital-grade monitoring, emergency readiness, and accreditation-aware protocols to office-based surgery — so patients get smooth, nausea-free recoveries in a setting built around them.
How we cover it -
Dental Clinics
Sedation dentistry and oral surgery demand a calm, precisely dosed anesthetic and a physician focused solely on the airway while the dentist works. We keep patients — anxious adults and children alike — comfortable and safe so cases run smoothly start to finish.
How we cover it -
Fertility Clinics
Egg retrievals are short, tightly scheduled, and deeply personal. Physician-delivered MAC sedation keeps patients comfortable and still for the minutes that matter, then lets them wake quickly and clear-headed — so the clinic’s morning stays on time and every patient feels looked after.

“I have yet to work with an anesthesiologist that has provided more benefit to the surgical workflow, and thus directly translated to more surgical productivity.”
Robert Peterson, MD · Northbay Healthcare, Dept. of Orthopedics -
“Their skill with ultrasound nerve blocks is also noteworthy. Patients who receive nerve blocks are reliably comfortable and usually require no additional narcotics in the recovery room, making their recovery quick and the PACU nurse's job much easier.”
Alexis Nunez, RN · Director of Nursing, San Francisco Surgery Center -
“We have consistently excellent reviews from our patients and our surgeons repeatedly request PAC to care for their patients.”
