To our prospective teammates,

I am honored to serve as the medical director for Sound Anesthesia's practice at Banner University Medical Center. I have been part of the Sound Anesthesia team for the past year and take immense pride in the anesthesia program we have built and serve as a model of success well into the future. This is a unique opportunity allowing physicians (new graduates welcome to apply) to join a team emphasizing a positive culture, patient safety, and quality clinical care. I would like to extend a warm invitation to learn more about our people, practice, and unwavering purpose.
