Reuben P. Wechsler, MD, MBA

After graduating with Honors from Brandeis University, I attended Mt. Sinai Medical School in NYC. From there, I went to Florida to start my residency years in Surgery, and subsequently completed my Residency in Anesthesiology at the University of Miami program. My 3rd year of Residency included what had previously been two six-month fellowships – in Cardiac Anesthesia and Pain Medicine.
I came to Atlanta in 1989 to begin my Private Practice career, and have been here since.
I have a special affinity for Regional Anesthesia techniques, and also love to work with the Pediatric patients in our outpatient practice. I have been with the Physicians and Anesthetists who now comprise Emory Specialty Associates – Anesthesia, since 1999. We are a very eclectic, and, I believe, very talented, group of physicians and anesthetists, who despite tremendous growth, manage to remain close and enjoy each other’s company socially.
Like our managing partner, I saw a need to add to my education so as to better participate in the business affairs of the practice of medicine, and thus completed my MBA degree in 1999, while continuing to practice full-time.
We have a busy household comprised of my wife, 4 children and 2 pets. We love to travel, and recently completed a 2
nd cruise together. Other hobbies of mine include model trains, photography, water sports and guitar.
