About
Dr. Zachary A. Turnbull is a leading anesthesiologist and health services researcher whose work illuminates critical disparities in surgical care and optimizes perioperative management for high-risk populations. His research centers on anesthetic considerations for bariatric surgery, particularly in super obese and super-super obese patients, where his 2018 study on robotic bariatric surgery outcomes (45 citations) has become a foundational reference for tailoring anesthetic protocols to reduce complications. Dr. Turnbull also investigates systemic inequities in surgical access, as demonstrated by his landmark 2018 paper on Medicaid patients undergoing colectomy (31 citations), which exposed significant disparities in care and outcomes. By combining rigorous propensity-matched cohort analyses with a focus on vulnerable populations, his work directly informs clinical guidelines and policy discussions aimed at closing gaps in surgical quality. With over 75 combined citations, Dr. Turnbull’s contributions are vital for anesthesiologists, surgeons, and healthcare advocates striving to improve both safety and equity in the operating room.
