Committed to Providing Exceptional Care for His Pediatric Patients
Connecticut Children’s Hospital proudly recognizes Dr. Peter Lam, an esteemed anesthesiologist dedicated to the safety and well-being of pediatric patients undergoing surgery. With specialized training in various anesthesia techniques, Dr. Lam plays a crucial role in both preoperative assessments and postoperative care, ensuring that patients receive the highest level of safety and comfort throughout their surgical experience.
Dr. Lam’s expertise encompasses general anesthesia, sedation, and regional anesthesia.

As an anesthesiologist, Dr. Lam also plays a pivotal role in managing pain postoperatively, working closely with surgical teams to optimize recovery.
Dr. Lam earned his medical degree from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, where he also completed his residency training. Following his residency, he pursued a fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine, further refining his skills and knowledge in pediatric anesthesia. His commitment to education is further exemplified by his appointment as Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, where he contributes to the training and development of future anesthesiologists.
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Lam is an active member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Connecticut State Society of Anesthesiologists, where he collaborates with peers to advance the field of anesthesiology.
