About Us

Re-associating

Good and Night

for the whole family

Our Story

Canyon Sleep Neurology and Wellness Group resulted from a nearly two decades long experience in academic Neurology peppered with observations of Dr. Troester's grandfather who worked as a country doctor in rural Nebraska for many decades.

For highly specialized care, undoubtedly, a tertiary care center such as Mayo Clinic, Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children’s Hospital or St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, is second to none. We maintain our long-standing relationship with Barrow and continue to send patients there (and elsewhere) whenever appropriate.

However, sometimes patients and caregivers simply need a doctor to listen, sympathize, strategize and treat what ails them without the hassles of big business medicine. The algorithmic tyranny of a powerless middle management mostly composed of non-physicians often drives patient care. We believe the patient and the doctor ought to dictate care, nothing else.

After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Kansas, Dr. Troester completed his medical training at the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine–Midwestern University. Dr. Troester then completed his pediatric residency at St Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center and three years of Pediatric Neurology residency at Barrow Neurological Institute.

After nearly 2 decades in academic neurology, Dr. Troester decided to focus exclusively on sleep disorders in children and adults.

A father of 3, he enjoys reading the comments sections of the Bring a Trailer website, reading mysteries, trying not to watch the news, pretending to understand why his children value TikTok, Kansas Jayhawks basketball, and doing anything involving his lovely wife who is much, much more attractive than him.

What our patients are saying...

Absolutely best appointment I've ever had, the time taken for me to share my medical history and the detail to the questions etc was amazing, I felt welcome and cared for, and feel hope, I truly appreciate all of this and am very thankful to have been referred here!!!
I have had an amazing experience with Canyon Sleep Neurology. I was really struggling with insomnia and I will be forever grateful to all of the help that Canyon Sleep provided. After ruling out sleep apnea and other culprits with Dr. Troester, I worked with Ashesh Troester, PA on sleep hygiene and other CBT-I techniques. I am happy to report that I am sleeping through the night again. If you are having any kind of issues with your sleep, make an appointment at Canyon Sleep Neurology. I cannot recommend them enough.

Some of my children would not be alive today if it had not been for him. I would recommend him to family,friends, and anyone who needs an awesome pediatric neurologist. He is the best!

"Dr. Troester is by far the best doctor I could have ever chosen for my daughter. He genuinely values my daughter’s life and offers a treatment plan that achieves the greatest long term success for her and not just the quick, easy fix. He deserves to be recognized for the incredible care he has shown for my daughter."

"We have seen Dr. Troester for many years. I have never found a doctor as accessible as him. He is very personable and so good with kids. He addresses all our concerns and is open to our thoughts or ideas on treatments. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a pediatric neurologist!"

Dr. Troester saved my daughter's life! Like many kids with sleep disorders, my daughter could not get a doctor to diagnose her and was told she “had some sort of mental disorder”. 18 months, 12+ doctors, a hospital stay, and 100's of tests, but no diagnosis or trust. She was convinced her “normal was gone forever”. In walk Dr. Troester. He started by drawing a picture of the brain and explaining what her narcolepsy with cataplexy diagnosis meant, and what his plan was to get her BACK TO NORMAL. She left that visit with hope! Dr. Troester is a rare gem, even in the world of sleep doctors.
