Patient Safety
Patient safety is our number one priority. Doing what is right for people sits at the heart of Dr. McGann’s approach to patient care and is a driving force for the entire practice.
We know visiting an oral surgeon is an important decision, and for years, patients and their families have put their firm belief in McGann Oral Surgery. We take pride in making even the most difficult, anxious situation comfortable for patients.
We maintain safe outcomes for our patients with our:
- Certified surgical and anesthesia assistants
- State-of-the-art surgical facility
- Board certification
- ACLS, DAANCE, BLS and CPR certifications for surgical staff
Certified Surgical and Anesthesia Assistants
Proper planning, administration and monitoring of patients receiving anesthetic agents is paramount to ensuring patient safety. Dr. McGann holds a California general anesthesia permit. Our certified assistants undergo extensive anesthesia training and re-training of emergency medical protocols.
State-of-the-Art Surgical Facility
Our office is resourced with all necessary medical equipment for an anesthesia emergency, and we are located just blocks from the Scripps Mercy San Diego and UC San Diego Emergency Department. Our state-of-the-art surgical facility is subject to periodic safety evaluations from the State of California.
Board Certification
Choosing a board-certified oral surgeon is an important first step in having a safe, positive outcome. Dr. Grant McGann is board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Board-certified oral surgeons undergo years of rigorous training and testing for performing procedures, as well as periodic reviews by peers. They hold a commitment and requirement to lifelong learning, and ultimately uphold the highest standards of oral surgery practice.
