ABOUT US
How a surgeon-owner and a clinical CRNA joined forces to heal a broken system.
Founded with Mutual Success in Mind
Bedrock Anesthesia, LLC is a clinician-led anesthesia services partner providing expert, collaborative anesthesia coverage for hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), and office-based anesthesia (OBA) clinics. Founded by facility owners for facility owners, and by clinicians for clinicians, we align clinical excellence with facility growth through total transparency and an abundance mindset.
The Hallway Conversation That Changed Everything
Our story didn’t begin in a corporate boardroom. It started with an honest, unfiltered conversation between two colleagues in an ambulatory surgery center hallway; realizing that the traditional anesthesia model was failing both facilities and providers.
- FACILITY INSIGHT
The ASC Owner’s Dilemma
Dr. Kevin Barber, Surgeon & ASC Owner
Facing constant pressure from legacy anesthesia groups acting like a ‘black box’ by hiding operational inefficiencies and dropping sudden, unannounced year-end true-up bills that threatened quarterly distributions and facility viability.
- CLINICAL INSIGHT
The Clinician’s Reality
Alejandro Knight, CRNA, MBA
Witnessing corporate aggregators buy up local practices, treat
dedicated clinicians like line items on a spreadsheet, and slash
schedule flexibility, resulting in severe provider burnout, high
turnover, and constant OR delays.
“We realized the traditional paradigm set up an adversarial dynamic: anesthesia pulling in one direction, and the facility pulling in another. We founded Bedrock to build Surgical Symbiosis, a model where clinical excellence and facility financial success are fully aligned.”
OUR MISSION
To elevate perioperative care through seamless anesthesia management, clinical excellence, and an abundance mindset that prioritizes mutual success. We empower facilities to grow with reliable, high-performing surgical teams while supporting clinicians with a respectful and collaborative work environment.
OUR VISION
To redefine the standard of anesthesia care across health systems nationwide by building modern, provider-centric, and fully aligned perioperative models that drive exceptional clinical outcomes, financial predictability, and long-term facility growth.
