Chief-level anesthesia oversight on every procedure

Dr. Sanmiguel personally leads anesthesia for the surgical cases performed at Allure RT MX — the same chief who reviewed your case is in the room from induction through wake-up.

From the moment a patient is admitted through the first hours of recovery, anesthesia at Allure RT MX is led by the same chief anesthesiologist who reviewed the case. International patients arrive after long flights, time-zone shifts, and disrupted medication routines — details a rotating anesthesia pool can miss. A single chief, present from start to finish, doesn't.

My working process

From the first medical-history review through the first hours of recovery — coordinated end-to-end so anesthesia is one less thing for you to worry about.

Pre-operative review

Personal review of your medical history, current medications, prior surgeries, and labs. International travel and time-zone shift factored into the plan.

Personalised anesthesia plan

A written anesthesia plan tuned to your procedure, anatomy, and risk profile — with conservative dosing and a focus on minimal post-op nausea.

Procedure day & intraoperative monitoring

Same anesthesia team from induction through closure. Continuous monitoring of vitals, depth of anesthesia, and surgical-team communication throughout.

Recovery & follow-up

Dedicated recovery monitoring during the first hours after surgery, with hydration support, comfortable pain management, and clear discharge instructions.
