Bend Anesthesiology Group

What Bend Anesthesiology Group does

Bend Anesthesiology Group, PC is a private professional corporation founded in 1991 and headquartered at 2500 NE Neff Road, Bend, Oregon. The practice delivers a full spectrum of perioperative anesthesia services through 46 board-certified physician anesthesiologists and 6 certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), all recruited from leading medical institutions across the United States. It serves surgical and obstetric patients throughout Central Oregon via exclusive-style service arrangements at seven healthcare facilities: the St. Charles Medical Centers in Bend, Redmond, Prineville, and Madras; the St. Charles Bend Family Birthing Center; and four ambulatory surgery centers (Cascade Surgicenter, Bend Surgery Center, Central Oregon Surgical Institute, Central Oregon Surgery Center, and Doctor's Park Surgery Center). Service modalities include general anesthesia, regional anesthesia (including epidural, spinal, and peripheral nerve blocks), monitored anesthesia care (MAC/"twilight sleep"), and obstetric anesthesia.

The group's go-to-market is facility-based: anesthesia is scheduled through the surgeons and obstetricians operating at its partner facilities, rather than through direct consumer marketing. Patients may pre-request specific anesthesiologists, and pre-procedure consultations occur on surgeon request. Business model revenue is generated by billing patients separately from the facilities for professional anesthesia services, while the partner facilities bill separately for anesthesia drugs and supplies. Payments are accepted via major credit cards through the PersonaPay patient portal, and a SurveyVitals partnership captures post-procedure patient experience data to drive continuous quality improvement.

The practice is physician-owned and independently operated, with no parent company, no private equity sponsor, and no external investors disclosed. Leadership consists of a Practice Administrator (Ashlee Barringer) plus physician members of the Management, Recruitment, and Philanthropy committees, one of whom is John Wilkinson, MD, a Treasurer and former Medical Staff President at St. Charles. The company markets itself exclusively to the Central Oregon community via its website and clinical-referral relationships; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is governed by insurance contracts, Medicare/Medicaid fee schedules, and individual patient agreements.

Core offering

Bend Anesthesiology Group delivers professional anesthesia services through 46 board-certified physician anesthesiologists and 6 CRNAs at healthcare facilities across Central Oregon. The practice covers the full anesthesia continuum—general, regional, monitored anesthesia care (MAC), and obstetric anesthesia—from preoperative evaluation through postoperative pain management, billing patients separately from the facilities where services are administered.

Product overview

Bend Anesthesiology Group is a full-range anesthesiology practice offering complete care from preoperative evaluation and consultation to postoperative pain management. The practice operates as a unified service offering centered around four core anesthesia modalities: General Anesthesia (medically-induced unconsciousness), Regional Anesthesia (nerve blocks and epidural/spinal techniques), Monitored Anesthesia Care/MAC (IV sedation with local anesthesia), and Obstetric Anesthesia (specialized pain relief for labor and delivery). These services are provided by 46 board-certified physician anesthesiologists and 6 certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) across multiple healthcare facilities in Central Oregon.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• General Anesthesia Produces unconsciousness so patients do not feel, see, or hear anything during surgical procedures. Anesthetic medications are administered through an intravenous line, anesthetic mask, or breathing tube, with vital functions supported by the anesthesia provider. Intended for surgical patients at affiliated Central Oregon facilities.
• Regional Anesthesia Produces numbness through injection of local anesthesia around nerves in a specific region of the body corresponding to the surgical procedure. Includes epidural and spinal blocks for the abdomen and lower extremities, and nerve blocks for arms or legs. Targeted at surgical patients requiring site-specific anesthesia.
• Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) Provides pain medication and sedatives through an intravenous line from the anesthesiologist, often referred to as 'twilight sleep.' The surgeon injects local anesthesia at the operative site for additional pain control during and after the procedure. Designed for patients undergoing outpatient or less invasive surgical procedures.
• Obstetric Anesthesia Clinical anesthesia services for expecting mothers during labor and delivery, including systemic analgesia, epidural blocks, spinal blocks, combined spinal-epidural blocks, and local anesthesia. Delivered at the St. Charles Bend Family Birthing Center and other affiliated facilities.
