Dr. Scott Gillin, Pediatric Anesthesiologist

Dr. Scott Gillin is a highly skilled MD physician, dual board-certified by the American Board of Anesthesia in both general anesthesia and pediatric anesthesia. With over 25 years of experience in caring for children, Dr. Gillin has made significant contributions to pediatric anesthesia. He served as the Chief of Anesthesia at Rady Children’s Hospital and was an integral part of the cardiac anesthesia team for 15 years, providing expert care in critical situations. Dr. Gillin’s journey began in Florida, where he grew up by the beach. He pursued his academic ambitions by earning a BA in Biology from Brown University, followed by an MD from the University of South Florida. He completed his anesthesia residency at UCSD and further specialized by completing a pediatric anesthesia fellowship at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Recognizing a gap in the care provided in pediatric offices, where many children were not being treated by physicians experienced in managing critical patients, Dr. Gillin set out to make a difference. His mission is to bring the same high-level, hospital-grade anesthesia care to children in an office setting, ensuring they receive the same standard of safety and attention they would in a hospital environment.
