I started practicing medicine in Tehachapi in 1964, and for much of that time, I was the only general practitioner in the area. In the seven years after I started, I only took a single vacation, for a month – while I was recovering from having surgery myself. Other than that I was basically always on call and worked seven days a week.

Dr. Troy had a private practice and also worked for many years at Tehachapi Hospital. Most longtime Tehachapi residents who were born at Tehachapi Hospital were delivered by Dr. Troy, and he was highly respected as a diagnostician.
