Hedwig Schroeck, MD

Patients often feel nervous about what is ahead when they come in for surgery. Centering on each person’s comfort and safety is the core of what I do as an anesthesiologist. I aim to ensure the best possible comfort for my patients while guarding their physical and emotional safety and dignity.

The healthcare process can be complex, involving many specialists and caregivers. I take pride in coordinating my patients' care among anesthesia clinicians, nurses, surgeons, and other team members.

As an anesthesiologist, I see patients at a vulnerable time. It’s rewarding to be able to guard their humanity while they are undergoing a procedure. To be trusted with this responsibility is a privilege I feel excited about every day.
