The USAP Difference
At U.S. Anesthesia Partners, Inc. (USAP) we are a physician-owned, clinician-led organization united by a shared commitment to excellence in anesthesia care. We work with health systems, hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care while supporting our clinicians with the leadership, resources, and infrastructure they need. We advocate at the local, state, and national levels for our patients and for our specialty.
We believe anesthesia care is stronger when clinicians lead, innovation is embraced, and data is used to measure and continually improve quality.
That’s the USAP difference.

Innovation isn’t an idea. It’s a commitment to intelligently advance anesthesia care every day.
We invest in technologies, relationships, and operational strategies that improve perioperative efficiency, enhance safety, and support overall better patient experiences.

U.S. Anesthesia Partners Reports 96.6% Patient Satisfaction, Exceeding National Benchmark for Second Year
By Exec Edge Editorial Staff | Tuesday April 28, 2026 Most patients never meet their anesthesiologist before surgery day. They sign a consent form, may ask a few questions in pre-op, and wake up in recovery with only a hazy memory of the clinician who kept them alive through the procedure. For decades, this has made anesthesia one of the hardest specialties in medicine to measure from the patient’s perspective and one of the easiest to overlook.USAP is the only national anesthesia provider to routinely measure patient satisfaction.
U.S. Anesthesia Partners Q&A: Dr. Kurt Jones on Clinician Leadership, AI Innovation and the Future of Anesthesia
By Exec Edge Editorial Staff:Few medical specialties have transformed as quietly — or as profoundly — as anesthesiology over the past quarter century. What was once largely confined to hospital operating rooms has moved into ambulatory surgery centers, physicians’ offices and outpatient facilities across the country. This move is driven by advances in drugs, monitoring technology and techniques that allow increasingly complex procedures to be performed on increasingly complex patients, who then go home the same day.
HELPING OUR OWN
USAP4USAP
When disaster strikes, USAP team members show up.

USAP4USAP donations are utilized to assist USAP colleagues and communities recovering from natural disasters and other significant hardships.
