Get to know Anesthesiologist Dr. Barry Ewell, who serves patients in Las Vegas, Nevada.

A board-certified anesthesiologist, Dr. Ewell works with patients at Southwest Medical Surgery Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

Southwest Medical is one of Nevada’s largest multi-specialty medical groups. They have been caring for southern Nevadans since 1972. They have decades of experience and a drive to better their patients’ lives. From Urgent Care to convenient e-visits, they bring their patients the health care they want, the way they want it.

Back in 2002, Dr. Ewell received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. He then went on to further his training by completing his residency in anesthesiology at the Temple University Hospital.

As a testament of his continued education, the doctor is board-certified in anesthesiology by the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA). As the certifying body for anesthesiologists since 1938, the ABA is committed to partnering with physicians to advance lifelong learning and exceptional patient care. Its mission is to advance the highest standards of the practice of anesthesiology.

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, they measure the patient’s respiration.
