Old Pueblo Anesthesia, PC (OPA) was established in 1985. It was formed by the merging of two groups: Tanque Verde Anesthesia and Obstetric Anesthesia Services. The members of the group merged with the idea of providing a full range of anesthesia services within the Tucson community.
Over the years, the group has grown from nineteen to thirty physicians; and they have achieved their goal of having a full service group. Today, OPA has specialized providers for a scope of services including: pediatric anesthesia, trauma service, obstetrical anesthesia, pain management, cardiac anesthesia, and critical care.
OPA Physicians are the providers of both trauma and obstetrical anesthesia services at Tucson Medical Center (TMC). We consider TMC our "home base" however we work at other hospitals such as El Dorado and St. Joseph's and our physicians maintain privileges at a number of area hospitals ( including Northwest Hospital, St. Mary's and the University).
OPA is contracted with a large number of insurers both Preferred Provider Plans and traditional insurances. Questions regarding specific plans and coverage should be directed to our office staff who are delighted to assist you.
