Get to know Anesthesiologist Dr. Scott V. Young, who serves patients in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Dr. Young, a board-certified anesthesiologist, has over three decades of experience in his field. At present, he is affiliated with Pbs Anesthesia LLC (a part of Dignity Health) and North Vista Hospital – both of which are located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

North Vista Hospital is a 177-bed community hospital that has been serving North Las Vegas and the greater Las Vegas Valley since 1959. It is equipped with the most advanced medical technology, with features that include electronic health records, valet parking, room service, and wireless Internet access. The hospital’s experienced team of doctors and nurses work together to provide expert care and the best possible patient experience.

Following the completion of his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1991, Dr. Young went on to complete his internship at Botsford General Hospital in 1992. This was followed by a residency in anesthesiology at the University of Michigan Medical Center in 1997. 

Before long, the doctor became board-certified in anesthesiology by the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA). As the certifying body for anesthesiologists since 1938, the ABA is committed to partnering with physicians to advance the lifelong learning and exceptional patient care. Its mission is to advance the highest standards of the practice of anesthesiology. 

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, anesthesiologists also measure the patient’s respiration.
