01 · Biography
A physician-founded practice.
Dr. Taylor Graber is a physician and a board-certified anesthesiologist. He founded ASAP IVs because he wanted to help patients receive the benefits of IVs without the time, cost and energy of going to the emergency room.
His path into medicine began in engineering. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering in biomedical engineering, summa cum laude, from Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University, and his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix.
Founded to bring the benefits of IV therapy to patients, without the time, cost and energy of an emergency-room visit.
On why ASAP IVs exists
After a medical internship at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, he completed his graduate medical training in anesthesiology at UC San Diego, one of the premier anesthesiology training institutions in the country.
His published research spans pediatric airway management, regional anesthesia, periprosthetic joint infection and cardiovascular imaging, in journals including Paediatric Anaesthesia and the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia.
When not working, he enjoys staying active through running, hiking and playing basketball.
