Her intuition and experience is a great asset to Dr. Vogel in the operating room. She personally assists Dr. Vogel on many surgery cases. Her compassion and care makes her a top surgical nurse both preoperatively, in surgery, and in the recovery room.

Robin Mattheiss, RN, CRNA – Nurse Anesthetist

Robin Mattheiss has been a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) for 29 years. She trained at The Johns Hopkins School of Anesthesia for Nurses. Since 1996 she has worked with Dr. Vogel. Safety is both Robin’s and Dr. Vogel’s #1 priority and we are very proud of our 100% safety record. Robin’s focus is individualized, compassionate care to provide you the best anesthesia experience in the most comforting atmosphere possible. That starts with a pre op call to review your past medical history, previous anesthesia experiences and to hear your concerns. She will go over what to expect on your surgery day, and discuss post op pain management. In the past 13+ years Dr. V and Robin have done all these surgeries together, in some cases hundreds of times. Early on Dr. Vogel and Robin implemented known strategies not used routinely, to create the best total experience for our patients. The result is that our patients have an extremely low incidence of post op nausea. Our routine starts with the admitting nurse giving you oral sedation upon arriving, the use of numbing cream prior to starting your IV, keeping you warm and comfortable before, during and after surgery. Robin’s and the other operating room staff also make sure your family members or friends have the updated info about you, and a member of our staff to assist in getting you situated in the car upon discharge. Robin loves what she does and looks forward to meeting you.

Kitsie Michel is a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Nursing. She has been a nurse for over 25 years and 17 of them have been spent in the operating room.

Look for her in the pre op area where she assists patients as they prepare for surgery and often accompanies patients in the operating room where she assists Dr. Vogel. Kitsie will also be on one of the last faces you see before you leave the operating suite after your procedure is finished as she also recovers many of our patients. Her goal for all patients is to provide the best care and experience possible on the day of surgery.
