About Anesthesiology Consultants Exchange

ACE was formed in 1990 at Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Since our inception, we have merged with Chattanooga Anesthesiology Consultants in 1996 and Chattanooga Anesthesia Service, Inc. in 1998. We are now the sole provider of anesthesia services for Erlanger Health System, Grandview Medical Center and SkyRidge Medical Center.

We currently are the only anesthesia provider for obstetrical anesthesia in Hamilton County. We have twenty-four Board Certified Anesthesiologists and eighty-three Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs).
