OUR HISTORY

Lone Star Dental Anesthesia was established by Dr. Joe Giovannitti in 1982 as Dental Anesthesia Associates. Dr. William Baltazar joined the practice in 2000, and assumed control when Dr. Giovannitti returned to academia in 2004. Dr. Jinsoo Kim and Dr. Hunter Stuart joined the practice in 2016 and the group changed its name to Lone Star Dental Anesthesia. LSDA has simplified and improved scheduling and availability through its web-based system. We have over 30 years of experience providing safe and time-efficient office-based anesthesia services to the dental community.
