About Dr. Elrefai
Board-certified anesthesiologist dedicated to safe, comfortable, and attentive perioperative care.
Ahmed Elrefai, M.D. is an anesthesiologist with more than 25 years of experience, board certified in both anesthesiology and pediatric anesthesiology.
Dr. Elrefai earned his medical degree from Howard University College of Medicine in 1998 and has spent his career caring for patients through every phase of anesthesia — from the pre-operative evaluation, through the procedure itself, to a safe and comfortable recovery.
His subspecialty training in pediatric anesthesiology means he is equipped to care for the youngest and most vulnerable patients, adapting each anesthetic to a child’s size, development, and needs while helping families feel at ease.
Above all, he approaches anesthesia as a discipline of vigilance: constant monitoring, careful planning, and a calm, reassuring presence when patients need it most.
