Steven Behr, M.D
I
grew
up in the Phoenix area (Mesa) and was raised an Arizona State
Sundevil, complete with alumni in the family. Nevertheless,
with medicine as my goal I came southeast to Tucson in 1987
to the University of Arizona and became a Wildcat. I studied
history and biochemistry while completing the premedical requirements.
During that time I volunteered and subsequently became employed
by the Department of Anesthesiology at the College of Medicine
doing clinical research. Although I thought it never really
influenced my choice of specialties I thoroughly enjoyed 5 years
of research in the operating rooms and anesthesiology laboratory
before medical school.
I
met my wife Fiona during medical school (blind date - it works!)
while she was in graduate school. She started medical school herself
when I started my internship at Tucson Medical Center. Now she
has finished medical school and started her training in dermatology,
while I was very excited to join the physicians of Old Pueblo
Anesthesia in August, 2001. My focus in the practice is general
anesthesia for all types of surgery except cardiac, obstetrics,
and children under two years old.
Outside
the operating room, I enjoy the myriad of hiking trails in Tucson
with my wife and dogs. We also enjoy traveling northeast to the
White Mountains for snow skiing and camping.
Hopefully
I've given you an idea of who I am and what I like to do. It is
truly an honor to provide anesthesia care for you.
I strive for vigilance and compassion in the operating room, and
I look forward to caring for your anesthesia needs. Contact our
office and I will be happy to answer any questions regarding your
anesthetic.
