Dr. Kevin Thornton is an anesthesiologist who cares for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).

He is one of the medical directors of the adult cardiac ICUs.
Thornton earned his medical degree at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. At UCSF, he completed a residency in anesthesiology, followed by fellowships in critical care medicine and cardiothoracic anesthesiology.
