A 1985 graduate of the Carle Illinois College of Medicine, Dr. Lasker served his residency in anesthesiology at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.

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, anesthesiologists also measure the patient’s respiration.
Dr. Lasker feels that his success is attributable to his dedication to his profession, his faith, his education, as well as his ability to provide quality patient care and to make a difference. Outside of the office, he enjoys juggling on a unicycle, traveling, listening to music, as well as spending time with friends and family.
