Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) and IV Sedation

What Patients Can Expect
Before sedation, Gram Cotton and his team review medical history and the plan for comfort and safety. During the procedure, patients feel relaxed and may remember little of the experience. Most return home the same day with simple after-care guidance.
MAC and IV sedation reduce anxiety, improve comfort, and help keep schedules on time in an office setting.
