Best Anesthesiologists & Pain Specialists in Thane
Book appointments quickly with verified doctors.
An anesthesiologist is a specialized physician trained in perioperative medicine, surgical anesthesia, intensive critical care, and interventional chronic pain management. Anesthesiologists evaluate patients before surgery (Pre-Anesthesia Checkup / PAC) to assess cardiac and respiratory fitness, administer general, regional (spinal and epidural), or local anesthesia during surgery, monitor vital organ functions continuously during operations, and provide acute post-operative pain relief and labor epidural analgesia (painless normal delivery).
Anesthesiologists also lead specialized Chronic Pain Clinics in Thane, offering targeted non-surgical relief for patients suffering from chronic intractable pain — including chronic back pain, sciatica, failed back surgery syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), cancer pain, and joint arthritis pain. Using ultrasound and fluoroscopic C-arm guidance, interventional pain physicians administer targeted nerve blocks, radiofrequency neurotomy, and epidural steroid injections to restore mobility without reliance on opioid medications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Pre-Anesthesia Checkup (PAC) and why is it mandatory before surgery?
A PAC is a comprehensive medical evaluation conducted by an anesthesiologist before any planned surgical procedure. The anesthesiologist reviews your medical history, airway anatomy, heart and lung function, and blood tests to customize the safest anesthesia plan and prevent perioperative complications.
How much does an anesthesiology / pain specialist consultation cost in Thane?
Outpatient PAC and pain clinic consultation fees in Thane on Nectar Plus Health typically range from a few hundred rupees upward. Interventional pain procedures (nerve blocks, epidural injections, facet joint radiofrequency ablation) are billed transparently by partner hospitals.
What are the main types of anesthesia used during surgery?
The four main types are: General Anesthesia (total unconsciousness and pain insensitivity); Regional Anesthesia (spinal or epidural numbing large body areas like legs or abdomen); Peripheral Nerve Blocks (numbing a specific limb like an arm or leg); and Monitored Anesthesia Care / Sedation (twilight relaxation for minor procedures).
What is a labor epidural and is it safe for painless childbirth?
A labor epidural is a procedure where an anesthesiologist places a tiny flexible catheter into the lower back epidural space to deliver continuous local anesthetic numbing pain signals from the uterus. It provides safe, effective pain relief during labor without affecting the baby, allowing mother to remain fully awake and push effectively.
How does an interventional pain physician treat chronic back and neck pain?
Interventional pain physicians perform precise image-guided treatments: transforaminal epidural steroid injections to reduce nerve inflammation from slipped discs; facet joint medial branch blocks; and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to safely deactivate sensory pain nerves, providing months to years of lasting relief.
Is general anesthesia safe for elderly patients with chronic medical conditions?
Modern anesthesia is safer than ever. Anesthesiologists use advanced hemodynamic monitoring, short-acting agents, target-controlled infusion (TCI) pumps, and depth-of-anesthesia monitors (BIS) to tailor anesthetic depth to the patient’s age and cardiac status, ensuring smooth, rapid recovery.
Why is strict fasting required before undergoing anesthesia?
General and deep sedation relax the body’s protective reflexes, including the esophageal sphincter. If food or liquid is in the stomach, vomiting can lead to dangerous aspiration of stomach contents into the lungs. Standard guidelines require fasting from solid foods for 6 to 8 hours and clear water for 2 hours.
What should I bring to my Pre-Anesthesia Checkup in Thane?
Bring all routine pre-op blood reports (CBC, KFT, blood sugar, coagulation PT/INR), a recent 12-lead ECG, chest X-ray, 2D echocardiogram report (if over 45 or with cardiac history), and an exact list of all medications including blood thinners and herbal supplements.
