Anesthesia Associates of Willimantic (AAW) is a group of Board-Certified professionals, with significant experience in general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, ambulatory anesthesia, obstetric anesthesia, and pain management. Group members serve in leadership roles at all our locations and strive to improve the safety and cost-effectiveness of care. We take patient satisfaction very seriously and work with management to provide highest standard in anesthesia care. The group plays an integral role in the education of medical students, residents from the Family Medicine residency program at Manchester Hospital, and nurses from the Quinnipiac University doctorate in nurse anesthesia program.
