Dwayne Thibeault DNP, CRNA, ARNP

Dr. Dwayne is a Nurse Anesthesiologist licensed to practice in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. My experience and qualifications include 20+ years in trauma/critical care settings caring for patients of all ages and backgrounds ranging from office based procedures, to emergency trauma patients, to open heart and lung surgeries. My anesthesia training was completed at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, culminating in a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP).

My undergraduate degree of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing was completed at Florida State University in Tallahassee. Shortly after completing my undergraduate degree, I also obtained my Paramedic license and functioned as a Registered Nurse and a Paramedic for several years. During that time I was also an Adjunct Clinical Faculty Member for the Daytona State College Emergency Services Program. I continue my love of teaching today by guest lecturing for the University of North Florida’s Nurse Anesthesiology Program on adult and pediatric anesthesia airway management and at the 2022 Yankee Dental Conference on adult and pediatric dental anesthesia. I am also an active member of the American Association of Nurse Anesthrsiology (AANA) and the current President for the New Hampshire Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (NHANA).

As the owner of Blue Sky Anesthesia Associates, I believe having a nurse anesthesiologist you can call and talk to anytime with any question about your sedation, creates the personal and individual care that healthcare lacks today. It is my passion and commitment to provide sedation that is customized to your specific needs and to help all of my patients overcome the fear and anxiety of their dental visit. By having a meaningful one-on-one conversation I get to know you and your concerns allowing me to determine the best-tailored sedation plan for you. I am committed to spending as much time as you need to answer all of your questions and I am happy to take calls from my patients anytime, even on the weekends.

Jessica Vigue RN  Clinical Coordinator

 

Jessica began her registered nurse career in 2018 after graduating from Great Bay Community College in Portsmouth, NH. Her fascination with the inner workings of the human body pointed her in the direction of the critical care arena, where she spent the next 3 years working in an Intensive Care Unit and an Emergency Department. Prior to her nursing career, she was an assistant manager of a major machine manufacturer with contracts all along the East Coast. During that time, she was involved in sales, education, training new staff, and setting up new office locations.

Currently, Jessica holds the title of Clinical Coordinator for Blue Sky Anesthesia Associates.

The one constant with her previous and current career is her love of working with people and the pivotal role she gets to play in making sure they get the care and service they deserve, and this shines through in the complements we receive from our patients and their caregivers on a daily basis. We are privileged to have Jessica as part of the Blue Sky team! During her down time, she enjoys camping, hiking, enhancing her green thumb with her plethora of plants, tackling her latest DIY project, and spending time with her husband, Evan.
