Our clinic provides comprehensive pre-anesthesia patient evaluations, information and patient education regarding anesthesia services provided here, as well as on-site diagnostic testing and pre-admission services for patients scheduled for surgical procedures at Stanford Hospital.

At Stanford Hospital & Clinics, we consider you a vital part of your heath care team. Our doctors and staff want you to have the best and safest experience possible.

Even if you've had a medical or surgical procedure before, you may still have questions about anesthesia.

To prepare you for your upcoming procedure, your doctor is asking that you view some important information using an online education program called Emmi®. This program, which takes about 20 minutes, will help you understand your anesthesia choices and let you know what to expect the day of surgery.

You can view your Emmi program as many times as you like. Our patients often find it helpful to watch with a family member or friend, so feel free to have them pull up a chair beside you. When you are ready, simply click here to get started.
