Troy – Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist
Troy was born in Ülm, Germany and raised in Louisiana. He relocated to Southwest Florida in 2002 to teach future Nurse Anesthetists. He has 10 years experience consisting of open heart, obstetrics, pediatrics and plastic surgery. He received a Masters Degree in Nurse Anesthesiology from the prestigious Charity Hospital of New Orleans, Louisiana. Troy was instrumental in setting up the operating room at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of Naples. With his knowledge we were able to create an office operating room suite on par with most hospitals in terms of technology, but far superior in terms of privacy and sterility. Troy's use of deep intravenous sedation and epidurals instead of traditional general anesthesia for most cases greatly speeds up your recovery and lowers the chances of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
