After obtaining his DDS degree from Baylor College of Dentistry, Dr. Shawn Seifikar completed a three-year post-doctoral dental anesthesiology residency program, a unit of the medical anesthesiology residency program administered through the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) medical education program. His education and training experiences were directed and coordinated by the faculty of the department of Dental Anesthesiology within the School of Dental Medicine and the department of Anesthesiology within the School of Medicine. His anesthesiology training consisted of medical rotations in internal medicine, critical care, chronic pain and anesthesiology at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital, Montefiore Hospital, Magee Women's Hospital, Saint Margaret's Hospital, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and the Center for Special Needs Patients at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Dental Medicine.

Throughout his residency, in addition to providing general anesthetics for numerous medical procedures, he also received specialized training to provide various spectrums of office based anesthesia in a safe, efficient and timely manner.

Today, Dr. Seifikar has an ambulatory anesthesia practice serving the DFW area and provides anesthesia services for pediatric patients, special needs patients and phobic adults in both an office and hospital settings. He provides his anesthesia and sedation services at the dental office, minimizing patients' fears and ensuring that anxious children and adults will cooperate to allow the dentist to complete their dental care. Dr. Seifikar is a staff dentist anesthesiologist at Our Children's House at Baylor and has been working closely with Baylor College of Dentistry's Pediatric Dental Department.

He is involved in lecturing and provides continuing education on topics of general anesthesia, lV sedation, enteral sedation and office based medical emergencies. He holds certifications as an instructor in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). He is a member of the American Society of Dentist Anesthesiologists, Society of Pediatric Anesthesia, American Dental Society of Anesthesiology, Texas Dental Association and Dallas County Dental Society.
