Dr. Adriana Dana Oprea is the Director of Endocrine Anesthesia and Associate Director of the Pre-Admission Testing Center at Yale New Haven Hospital. Dr. Oprea received her medical degree from Carol Davila University of Medicine, Bucharest, Romania in 1998. Following her Internal Medicine residency at Norwalk Hospital, she completed a residency in Anesthesiology at Yale New Haven Hospital and is a board-certified internist and anesthesiologist.
