Endoscopy Suites

High-throughput propofol sedation, clear-headed wake-ups.

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.

The list

A GI schedule that runs to the minute.

High-volume lists leave no slack for a slow start or a slow wake-up. Physician-delivered propofol sedation gives your endoscopists ideal conditions from the first minute, and a patient who wakes quickly once the scope is out.

The anesthesia

What we deliver in this setting.

Endoscopy runs on MAC sedation: propofol, titrated by a physician who stays on the airway for every case.

MAC Sedation Physician-titrated IV sedation with an anesthesiologist managing every minute.

Recovery

Clear-headed wake-ups keep the bays moving.

Recovery is where an endoscopy day backs up. Patients sedated with short-acting agents wake quickly and clear-headed, so your recovery bays keep pace with your procedure rooms.

Quick, clear-headed wake-ups
Continuous monitoring of airway, breathing, and circulation
Clear written instructions for patients and their escorts

How engagement works

From first call to first case.

Most centers are surprised how little work it takes on their side.

01
Discovery call

A 30-minute conversation about your facility, case mix, and goals.
02
Site visit & proposal

We walk your facility, meet your team, and propose a coverage model.
03
Credentialing

Typically 30–90 days; we run it in parallel with planning so nothing waits.
04
First case

A consistent team that knows your setting — from day one.

What partners say

Surgeons request us. Nurses thank us.

“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.”

Alexis Nunez, RN · Director of Nursing, San Francisco Surgery Center

For administrators

Questions centers ask us.

How quickly can Pontine start covering our center?

Credentialing is usually the longest step — typically 30 to 90 days depending on your facility and payors. We run credentialing in parallel with scheduling and workflow planning so coverage can begin as soon as privileges are granted.

Do your physicians carry their own malpractice coverage?

Yes. Every Pontine physician carries individual malpractice coverage at standard policy limits, and we provide certificates of insurance during credentialing.

How does staffing work — will we see the same anesthesiologists?

We staff a small, consistent team per facility rather than rotating strangers through your ORs. Your surgeons and staff work with anesthesiologists who know your center, your cases, and your pace.

What does a transition from our current group look like?

We plan transitions to be invisible to your schedule: credentialing first, then a shadow period alongside your current coverage if desired, then cutover — no cancelled cases, no coverage gaps.
