Richard Dziewit DNP, CRNA
About Richard
I have always had a passion for caretaking while growing up and helping my parents care for my sister who has Cerebral palsy. On my journey to becoming a nurse, I developed an interest in nurse anesthesia after witnessing a nurse anesthetist’s poise, knowledge, collaboration and professionalism during a patient emergency. I am passionate about working in collaboration with patients, their families and their healthcare team in order to provide a comprehensive and dignified anesthetic plan of care that provides comfort and ease during the surgical experience. I enjoy getting to know my patients and building a trusting relationship while we discuss the options and goals of the anesthesia our team and I can provide for them
