The anesthetic experience itself is unique for a child and proper rapport between the child, anesthesiologist and family is crucial for success. Your child's apprehension and ability to cooperate are of particular concern to us. Parent's anxieties concerning their child's anesthesia and surgery may be severe enough to be transmitted to the child.
Most women experience significant pain during labor contractions, especially with their first delivery. Some are able to cope with it by deep breathing and relaxation techniques, but in our practice, the majority of patients request epidural anesthesia for relief of pain during labor. Some of the most frequently asked questions about labor epidurals are discussed below.

The billing department is absolutely horrible. They do not communicate with their financial aid department. They tried telling me that they called me four times which is not possible because I answer every single phone call that comes in on my phone even if I don't recognize the phone number. Office manager wanted to argue with me about receiving phone calls.
She also lectured me about making payments while I was applying for financial aid. If I'm applying for financial aid obviously I don't have the money to make payments. This billing department is a freaking joke! I spoke with their company twice on March 2 and they sent me to collections on March 3. Screw them!

Recently sent to collections without a single invoice being received. Claimed to have mailed each month and have yet find one in the mailbox. Such poor billing practices! It seems from the reviews I am not alone. I have no problem paying bills owed, but very difficult to make a payment on a bill that had never been sent.

Having the same problems as other people. Shady and unethical business practices. Between insurance and out of my own pocket, I paid almost $1800 which is far and above the quote I received for my procedures. I asked for an itemized bill a few months ago, never sent it, Their inability to produce this document screams guilt. Bad business!

I Just had surgery a few months ago. Been trying to see who I owe after insurance and how much. Other departments I owed would tell me just wait a bit your bill is still being determined and a bill will be sent out. I got the bills recently and paid them immediately. Rainier Anesthesia has called me treating me as if I am hiding from them and giving me threatening final notices without any bill being sent to me whatsoever.
I have left multiple messages after waiting on hold just to be told I have to leave a message and received no call back. This is now how you treat people that have insurance and pay their bills. Im all for collecting money owed when people show they lack integrity to pay. But you don't treat as if they lack integrity before you give them a bill or a chance to pay. I would not screw up my credit and not pay a medical bill. they need to change their approach if they care about the people they are dealing with.

I wish I never had to deal with them. They sent me a "final notice" with out sending me prior bills, called me asking to call back when they don't have anyone to pick up their phones and all the voice mails are FULL. The check I sent them was cashed and still get phone calls about payment. it totally looks like a scam but I did verify with Good Sam and they confirmed that patients get billed by Rainier. the worst customer service. and still haven't got it resolved.
