Dr. Seth Arnall

Dr. Arnall was raised in the mountains of Northern Arizona, and it’s there that he gained a love for the outdoors, and working with his hands. These loves inspired him to become a biology major, with a minor in jewelry and metalsmithing at East Tennessee State University. This naturally evolved into an interest in dentistry which combined his love of biology and crafting with his hands.

He was accepted to the Case School of Dental Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio and graduated with honors. After graduation he worked as a dentist in the Verde Valley of Arizona. Dr. Arnall was introduced to IV sedation during his time practicing in Arizona, and it became his next professional love. This drove him to take his love of anesthesia further, and he was subsequently accepted to New York University Langone-Brooklyn for a three year anesthesia residency. While there he learned the skills to safely provide all types of anesthesia in both office based and hospital settings. There he enjoyed treating thousands of patients, many of which were children and those with complex special needs.

After graduation he cofounded the Michigan branch of CarePoint Anesthesia with Dr. Jackstien and Dr. Smith.
