The group also provides care for patients of the gastroenterologists at Skyline Center for Health.

The practice includes five anesthesiologists and seven certified registered nurse anesthetists: McKee Medical Director of Anesthesia Services Kevin Foley, MD; Joseph Agnello, MD; Frank Balestrieri, MD; Paul Filby, MD; Alan Lloyd, MD; Jeffrey Fryer, CRNA; Scott Gerardy, CRNA; Frank Hartley, CRNA; Brenda Hollander, CRNA; Cynthia Keyfauver, CRNA; David Luedke, CRNA; and Michele McClellan, CRNA.
