Afraid of Anesthesia?
For many people, a big fear of surgery is going under anesthesia.
Dr Erb does most of her procedures in her office procedure room. We do procedures in our office procedure room almost every day so we are really good at making people feel comfortable and having minimal pain. We give you relaxing pills like Xanax or Valium; we can give you sleeping pills like Ambien; we give you pain pills called Tylenol. We monitor you to make sure that you are getting sleepy. If you are not sleepy, then we can give you more pills as needed. Only after you are very sleepy do we proceed. We put numbing drops on your eyes, protectors on your eyes so you won’t have to see anything, numbing cream on your eyelids, and numbing injections in your eyelids. When you are good and numb, you won’t feel anything and it won’t hurt. We get started with the procedure. Everyone falls asleep. It ends up being quite comfortable.
Love Anesthesia?
Dr Erb also does procedures at an Ambulatory Surgery Center where an Anesthesiologist doctor can administer twilight or general anesthesia.
