Metro Anesthesia

What Metro Anesthesia does

Metropolitan Anesthesia Consultants, doing business as Metro Anesthesia, is a physician-owned anesthesiology group founded in 1991 in Dallas, Texas, providing comprehensive anesthesia services to hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The practice is staffed by more than 100 Board Certified/Board Eligible physician anesthesiologists recruited from programs including UT Southwestern, Baylor, Michigan, Harvard, USC, Wake Forest, and Cleveland Clinic, and operates under a 100% production-based compensation model with a three-year true partnership track. Service offerings span general, regional, neuraxial, and sedation anesthesia techniques, with dedicated sub-specialty lines in obstetrical anesthesia and multi-modal acute/chronic pain management.

The group holds 50+ exclusive anesthesia service contracts with major North Texas health systems — including Baylor Scott & White, Medical City, Texas Health, Presbyterian, and Tenet — and supplements its direct practice with Copractica, a physician-led Independent Physicians Network that helps community anesthesiologists reduce costs and maintain practice independence. Operations are supported by a Dallas headquarters at 3625 N. Hall St. and a Fort Worth billing office managed by Ventra Health, with patient billing processed through the Personapay portal. Quality assurance is delivered via the Survey Vitals patient satisfaction platform (in place since 2014), and the firm maintains a charitable arm, Metro Heals, founded in 2023 to support DFW-area clinics and charities.

The business is led by CEO Stan Morton (a 30-year healthcare executive and former hospital CEO) alongside a physician Management Committee chaired by Dr. Rishi Taneja, with a C-suite including CFO Erik Hemingway, COO Andrea Cameron, and CAO Chrystale Cigainero. Revenue is generated primarily on a fee-for-service basis, with physicians billing separately from the facility for anesthesia services rendered. There is no public revenue disclosure, no external funding, and no parent company.
