Anesthesiology

As a specialist in his field, Dr. Phong Ta is a board certified dentist anesthesiologist with extensive anesthesia training at The Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. During his time at the hospital, he provided a wide spectrum of anesthetics from mild sedation to complete general anesthesia for procedures ranging from plastic surgery to organ transplants. Because of Mount Sinai’s reputation as a top-ranked hospital in both treatment and training, Dr. Ta has gained invaluable experience in the care of medically complex patients undergoing complex surgical procedures. His training includes rotations in sub-specialities including but not limited to pediatrics, neurosurgery, ENT, and trauma anesthesia.  

As part of his training Dr. Ta maintains active certification in Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life support (PALS).

During his career he has worked with dentists throughout the New York Metropolitan area and has treated thousands of patients, both pediatric and adult, in the dental office setting. Mobile dental anesthesia is a unique combination of medicine and dentistry that Dr. Ta has honed his skills in over the years.
