Joseph P Eddings, Anesthesiologist

So I had to have surgery on my lady parts which is major to me! When I scheduled the surgery the center had no idea who the anesthesiologist would be. I did not like this at all! Many from the Oakwood surgery center claimed to not know how to find this out. Until I talked to the older lady at the front. She knew a little about how you can request someone. I called and called and no one got back to me until the day before the surgery. But I did some research of my own and found the Austin Anesthiology Group supplied the Oakwood surgery center. I was most impressed by the backgrounds of doctors Orth, Eddings and Patel. Well at of these only Eddings was willing to make it. So the day of surgery I am in the hospital bed and I had a panic attack because the young nurse kept talking about complications like bleeding, blood vessel damage. Suddenly my blood pressure drops and I am covered in sweat. Just then Dr. Eddings comes in and I thank him for making it and he’s like of course. He doesn’t draw attention to my condition and just winks at my husband and says after we interview you i’ve got the good stuff in my pocket-​that will make you not even care about any of this. I remember thinking that’s impossible. Another impressing thing was that he remembered all of my prep interview that I filled out online and doubled checked with me about the important items. Then sure enough after I was given «the good stuff» I felt good enough to put all my trust in my doctors and announce that they would surely do their best and that I would see them later. I was put in the OR and the general «stuff» burned like hell. Dr. Eddings very professionally said, we will help you with that. What he meant was you’ll be out in a few seconds but he chose to not draw attention to the fact that I would soon be under the knife but instead comforted me with what words he chose to use. Very, very skilled professional! He was also reasonable about the amount to pain meds and the type and made sure my husband got them to me exactly 5 hours after surgery. I’ve had surgery before and trust me-​you NEVER want to feel ALL of that post surgery pain. I can’t say enough about this doctor!!! I would trust him with my life and the life of my loved ones over and over! 8D
