Raphael Y. Gershon, MD

Chief of Anesthesiology

After 20 years as Chief of Anesthesiology, I have witnessed and hopefully help nurture the most profound progress and growth of Grady Health System, our iconic Atlanta health care institution, as we continue on our journey towards becoming the premier academic tertiary care facility in the nation. Through the years I have assembled the most amazing team of Anesthesiologists who provide the most current fellowship trained and specialized care in the Anesthesiology divisions of Cardiac, Obstetric, Pain management , Neurovascular, Orthopedics, and Regional Anesthesia. Our Acute pain Service is diligently working to combat the city opioid crisis one patient at a time. My Anesthesiologists are energized, caring, and mission driven, with an eye towards safety and efficiency. As a primary teaching institution and academic center for our Emory and Morehouse residency, we take very seriously our goal of optimal patient care in an environment of teaching and research.
