Northside Anesthesiology Consultants

What Northside Anesthesiology Consultants does

Northside Anesthesiology Consultants, LLC (NAC) is a single-specialty anesthesiology group practice founded in 1970 and headquartered at Northside Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. The practice provides anesthesia and pain management services exclusively across six Northside Hospital system facilities in the Atlanta metropolitan area — Northside Hospital-Atlanta, the Medical Tower, Meridian Mark Plaza, Northside Hospital-Cherokee (Canton), Northside Hospital-Forsyth (Cumming) and the Northside Sandy Springs Outpatient Surgery Center. Core service lines include peri-operative surgical anesthesia, obstetric analgesia (24-hour in-house epidural coverage at the Women's Center Labor & Delivery Unit), post-operative pain control using IV Patient Controlled Analgesia (IVPCA) and continuous epidural analgesia techniques, and outpatient chronic pain evaluation through the Northside Spine & Pain Specialists sub-brand.

The clinical model is an Anesthesia Care Team built around 57 board-certified or board-eligible anesthesiologists with subspecialty training from institutions including Emory, Cleveland Clinic, Duke and Johns Hopkins, supported by CRNAs and PAAAs. NAC operates as an independent physician group — physicians are not hospital employees and bill separately for professional services, distinct from the hospital's equipment and supply charges. The practice is organized under an HIPAA-compliant healthcare arrangement with Northside Hospital, and its wholly owned affiliate Sentinel Healthcare Services, LLC processes all insurance claims, payment collection and patient billing inquiries. Patient acquisition flows primarily from surgeon selection and physician referrals, supplemented by patient education content on the practice website and English/Spanish brochures.

NAC is a private, physician-owned LLC domiciled in Georgia with no disclosed funding events, acquisitions or external shareholders. The company's growth is operationally tied to the Northside Hospital system's footprint and surgical volume; there are no out-of-network contracts, no disclosed M&A activity and no AI or digital health technology stack beyond conventional medical devices. K. Douglas Smith, MD serves as Chairman of the Management Committee and CEO of Sentinel Healthcare Services.
