Symmetry Anesthesia Expands Its Reach
In a remarkable and rapid expansion, Symmetry Anesthesia has successfully onboarded five hospitals within just five months, solidifying its position in the healthcare landscape. This strategic growth comes as the organization welcomes over 250 clinicians to its ranks as it enters 2026 with partnerships across eight healthcare facilities.
Founded in mid-2025, Symmetry Anesthesia promotes a unique model that prioritizes clinician-led decision-making, a shift aimed at addressing long-standing issues in the anesthesia sector. Phil Eichenholz, MD, the CEO of Symmetry Anesthesia, emphasizes the importance of clinician input in improving anesthesia practices. "Anesthesia was broken—profits were prioritized over practice," he stated, highlighting that their approach reflects clinicians' need to reclaim control over their professional environment.
The feedback received from surgeons, operating room teams, and hospital leadership has been overwhelmingly positive. According to Andi Damron, MS, CRNA, APRN, and Chief Anesthetist Officer, the organization has ignited a passion among clinicians who are dedicated to creating a better healthcare solution for patients. They believe this enthusiasm is a significant factor in their unprecedented growth trajectory.
Symmetry Anesthesia's growth strategy is deeply rooted in its commitment to transparency and collaboration. By fostering an entrepreneurial environment, the organization enables anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) to thrive professionally. Their model is marked by strategic hospital partnerships, aligned incentives, and clinician-driven recruitment initiatives. This cohesive approach not only enhances the quality of anesthesia services but also instills a sense of pride and purpose among its medical professionals.
Looking ahead to 2026, Symmetry Anesthesia has ambitious plans for further expansion. Their focus will be on enhancing operational resources and providing additional opportunities for clinicians who seek to have their voices heard in the administrative processes of their practice. By empowering their staff, Symmetry aims to rebuild the field of anesthesia, moving beyond traditional paradigms that have been seen as restrictive.
As Symmetry Anesthesia continues to grow, it vows to fix what many professionals claim is a broken industry, establishing a new standard for anesthesia care that values the contributions of its clinicians. With a fresh approach that emphasizes the principles of collaboration, transparency, and quality practice, the organization is poised to redefine what it means to provide excellence in anesthesia services.
