Expert Anesthesia Services for Dental Procedures in Livingston, NJ
As a board-certified anesthesiologist with over 12 years of experience, I lead a specialized service providing safe anesthesia for dental and office-based procedures. My practice combines clinical expertise with academic leadership, as a full professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and an adjunct member of Rutgers University's Biomedical Engineering Graduate Faculty. With 28 peer-reviewed publications and patented innovations in medical equipment, I collaborate with select dentists to deliver personalized anesthesia solutions. My approach prioritizes patient safety through preoperative consultations with referring physicians and tailored sedation techniques, including conscious sedation for adults and intravenous sedation for children aged five and older.

Specializing in managing complex cases, I offer anesthesia services for physically and mentally challenged patients on a case-by-case basis. My commitment to excellence is evidenced by successful American Board of Anesthesiology recertification and active involvement in advancing pain management practices. Patients consistently report high satisfaction with the comfort and efficiency of procedures performed under my care, with minimal post-procedural recall. This service eliminates the need for hospital visits, providing convenient access to specialized anesthesia in office settings while maintaining the highest safety standards.

We are so grateful for Dr. Atlas (along with Dr Ferguson' dental team) for taking such wonderful care of our daughter during her dental procedure. Dr. Atlas was caring, attentive and professional every step of the way. He explained the procedure to us beforehand and made sure to build a friendly rapport with our daughter before it started. Afterwards, he stayed as long as it took for her to be ready to go home. He also checked in on us a couple of times despite having a busy schedule. Thank you!

Dr. Atlas provided exceptional care and service for our daughter today. He called two days in a row to ensure we were clear about the diet instructions prior to her surgery. On the day of the surgery. Dr. Atlas went through all the procedures, precautions, pre and post surgery information and such thoroughly. His communication was direct, clear and precise. He made sure our daughter was fine before sending her home.

He even wheeled our daughter out and helped her into our car in pouring rain! My daughter shared with us that he was so funny, nice and made her comfortable throughout! We are grateful to him for taking care of our daughter!

Dr. Atlas is probably the best Anesthesiologist that ever lived. He is beyond knowledgeable and has personally gotten me thru 2 very difficult Dental/Surgical procedures. He has all kinds of professional credentials and accolades in accordance with an empathetic bedside manner. He goes above and beyond for his patients and has treated me as If I were family. He is literally available 24-7 to answer questions no matter how busy he is. On top of it all his rates are very reasonable and provides whatever is necessary for insurance. Doesn't get any better.

Dr. Glen Atlas was the Anesthesiologist for my 2nd root canal on the same tooth. I was terrified! Dr. Atlas contacted me twice before the surgery, and he explained the whole procedure to my husband and I. After the root canal, Dr. Atlas called, 3 times, to certify that I was fine. He promised that he would take care of me, and he did. Kindness emanates from Dr. Atlas. He breathes confidence back into our fearful hearts. Dr. Atlas know his stuff! I recommend Dr. Atlas for the most difficult assignment.
