Service area: New York City
One phone call brings a board-certified dental anesthesiologist to your dentist's office anywhere in New York City. Dr. José Rivero serves all five boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island — with office-based sedation and general anesthesia.
Borough-by-borough coverage
The mobile model means every borough gets the same care team, the same equipment and the same protocol — in your own dentist's office.
From Midtown to Lower Manhattan, Dr. Rivero brings anesthesia to dental offices across the borough. Manhattan patients facing implants, wisdom teeth or full-mouth rehabilitation can have treatment with in-office sedation instead of a hospital visit.
Searches for a dental anesthesiologist in Brooklyn return directories and listings — not a provider with a face and a track record. Dr. Rivero closes that gap by coming directly to Brooklyn dental offices with his equipment and team of one: the anesthesiologist is the one you meet.
Coverage across the borough, from Astoria and Long Island City east to Jamaica and Flushing. Queens is the city's largest and most diverse borough — and mobile anesthesia keeps its families with the dentists they already trust.
A Jacobi-trained anesthesiologist serving the Bronx, where he completed a year in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery plus a three-year Dental Anesthesiology residency as Chief Resident. Bronx dental offices get hospital-grade anesthesia expertise in their own operatories.
Staten Island has little dedicated dental-anesthesiologist presence — no hospital transfer and no Manhattan trip required. Anesthesia comes to the island, to your dentist's office.
The same care, everywhere in the city
The care does not change at a borough line. Every New York City case starts with a preoperative health review, proceeds with anesthesia and continuous monitoring in the dental office, and ends with observed recovery and written discharge guidance. The equipment that arrives in Staten Island is the equipment that arrives in Manhattan — the anesthesiologist is the same person in between.
Common questions
Yes — all five: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Coverage is mobile, so the same anesthesia care travels to dental offices city-wide. Call (917) 569-0131 to confirm your dental office's area.
Anesthesia care begins with a medical review and an individualized plan. During treatment, Dr. Rivero provides continuous monitoring. Every procedure has risks; he discusses the risks, benefits and alternatives with each patient or family.
Anesthesia may help patients with dental anxiety or phobia, children who cannot comfortably complete treatment, people with special needs or complex medical conditions, and patients having extensive procedures. Candidacy is determined after a health-history review.
Talk to your dental provider about including sedation in your treatment plan. Your office and Dr. Rivero then coordinate scheduling, the health-history review and your instructions.
