As a board-certified anesthesiologist, Dr. Khalil ensures the safety of patients who are about to undergo surgery. He sees patients within the Department of Anesthesiology at UC Health West Chester Hospital in Ohio.

A part of UC Health, West Chester Hospital opened in May, 2009 with the latest medical technology and a staff hand-picked for their compassion and commitment.

Following the completion of his medical degree from the Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University in 1993, Dr. Khalil relocated to the United States. Once there, he completed his residency and his fellowship at Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio.

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 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.
