David has over two decades of experience providing professional anesthesia services across all patient populations.  He earned a BS in Nursing from Texas Christian University in 1993 and a MS in Health Sciences from Texas Wesleyan in 1998. He has used his extensive clinical experiences to provide acute pain control education to other anesthesia providers across the country through Maverick Medical Education, a company he and a coworker formed over 10 years ago.  His time in both the clinical and educational arenas treating acute pain spurred him to undergo a rigorous year-long Nonsurgical Pain Management Fellowship through Texas Christian University in 2017-2018.  He is currently one of only 51 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists board certified through the NBCRNA in Nonsurgical Pain Management in the entire United States.  Reducing the pain in our communities, and its countless untoward effects has become a passion for him.  David has a simple philosophy … he wants you to leave him feeling better than when you met him.

What Our Patients Say…

Went in to see Mr. Gaskin regarding some back pain that I’ve had for years. He heard me out and asked me to do some stretches and movements and figured out that it was my SI joint causing me issues. He gave me a shot that was pain free(because I’m a huge baby when it comes to needles) and I’ve been lower back pain free going on two months now. I would recommend him to anyone having daily pain. Very affordable and a great doctor. I will definitely be back if I have to be.
