I am a board-certified anesthesiologist with a mixed background of private and academic practices in Texas, Missouri, Pittsburgh and now Hot Springs National Park, AR. Some of my interests to date have been in regional anesthesia, medical economics, surgery center directorship, medical resident advocacy, and efficient business practices.My most recent venture is as managing partner and part-time anesthesia support with the new independent surgeon practice that my wife, Dr. Mandy Rice, is undertaking - Direct Surgical Care of Hot Springs. Concurrently, I am a private practice anesthesiologist serving several area facilities with a local independent group. Always open for what tomorrow brings. Going forward in our strained and unsustainable US health system, I have an eye towards disruptive medical models that incorporate price transparency and competitive markets.https://directsurgicalcareofhotsprings.comhttp://marketmedicine.org/http://www.surgerycenterok.com/http://www.aapsonline.org/http://dpcare.org/http://GMEComplianceProject.org
