After nearly 2 decades working at the highest level of cutting edge medical and surgical management of epilepsy and its associated co-morbidities, Dr. Troester is focusing on Sleep Neurology and wellness. Modern management of treatment resistant epilepsy requires a highly specialized team of Epileptologists, Epilepsy Neurosurgeons, Neuroradiologists, Neuropsychologists, Ketogenic dietitians and nursing support staff. In his new practice setting, Dr. Troester chose to focus on Sleep Medicine exclusively as he did not feel that outside of a tertiary referral center, such as Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children's Hospital, he could continue to provide a similar level of service to patients with epilepsy.
Dr. Troester remains available as a resource for any established primary epilepsy patients and will always help in any way he can, but he has transitioned care of his existing patients to his former partners at Barrow at Phoenix Children's and colleagues at Barrow at St Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Mayo Clinic and Banner University where he feels they will get the best possible care.
There exists an obvious overlap between sleep disorders and epilepsy and Dr. Troester will continue to work with all such impacted individuals on their sleep disturbances. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
