Phil Eichenholz, MD

Phil Eichenholz, MD, doesn’t just follow the playbook—he rewrites it. A cardiac anesthesiologist turned industry disruptor, he’s built and scaled major anesthesia groups across the country. In 2003, he founded NorthStar Anesthesia, expanding it from a single hospital contract to a $500M practice with operations in 21 states and over 2,000 providers. In 2020, he launched Sound Physicians Anesthesia, growing it to an 800-provider practice in just three years.

Dr. Eichenholz isn’t aiming to tweak the system, he’s here to completely transform it. Symmetry is that vision: an anesthesia group that puts clinicians back in control, brings transparency to hospital partners, cuts out private equity, and delivers an anesthesia environment that brings the pride and passion back to anesthesia.
