  TSA Statement on FTC/USAP Lawsuit

  Texas Society of Anesthesiologists (TSA) is a professional society comprised exclusively of individual member anesthesiologists. Our members work in different clinical and business arrangements, including members who are owners of their practice, who are employed by other physicians, and who are faculty at our various medical schools. TSA has no corporate or group members. 
  
  The TSA is aware of the Federal Trade Commission’s lawsuit against US Anesthesia Partners (USAP), a national anesthesiology group. Some of our members are employed by or are partners of USAP. Within the TSA, we have USAP members who are leaders and are active in our professional society. They volunteer their own time to improve patient safety for all Texans. By reputation, USAP members provide direct safe and high-quality anesthesia care across Texas.
  
  The TSA believes every party is entitled to a fair and balanced legal process. TSA has no additional information or comments about the litigation at this time.

  TSA President 2023-2024

  Udaya Padakandla, MD

  It is with tremendous humility and a sense of gratitude that I assume the role of Presidency of the Texas Society of Anesthesiologists. It is a great honor to follow in the footsteps of Dr. George Williams II, whose dynamic and overachieving term as President indeed leaves some very big shoes to fill!!   I would consider myself as having succeeded in my term by next year if I could accomplish a fraction of what he did during this year.
