G. Alexis Raftopoulos, DO USAP Bio

I am an anesthesiologist that specializes in pediatrics and pediatric cardiac.  I have a passion for taking care of children of any age -- from one hour old to teenage years. I like to make sure that both the child and the parent feel comfortable with everything going on in the OR as well as after.  When I am not doing pediatric anesthesia I also enjoy taking care of adults.  I provide care for a wide range of adult cases from cardiac to general.

I am originally from Albuquerque, NM, but love living in Las Vegas.  I enjoy many out door activities and I am a big movie buff.  When time permits, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful husband.

Areas of clinical interest

I am interested in methods for improving pediatric pain control without the use of narcotics and future advances in pediatric cardiac surgery/anesthesia.
