Co-Founder | Medical Director | Board-Certified Anesthesiologist | Preventive Health Visionary

Dr. Paul Carrell has served the Austin community for more than 20 years as a trusted, board-certified anesthesiologist. Before completing his anesthesiology training at the University of California, San Francisco, he completed an internal medicine internship at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin. He is certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology, a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialties, and also holds a non-ABMS board certification in aesthetic medicine through the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine.

Throughout his career, Dr. Carrell has cared for patients across virtually every surgical specialty, administered thousands of labor epidurals, and provided regional, neuraxial, and general anesthesia. During his training at UCSF, he developed expertise in ultrasound-guided procedures, including central line placement and regional nerve blocks, and he continues to use ultrasound technology in his aesthetic practice today. More than two decades of performing technically demanding procedures have given him an exceptional understanding of anatomy, precise needle control, and a careful, safety-focused approach designed to minimize complications.

Anesthesiology is about far more than putting a patient to sleep. It requires understanding the whole person—their medical and social history, medication interactions, health conditions, physiology, disease processes, and personal goals surrounding surgery or childbirth—while anticipating how metabolic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurologic, renal, and hepatic conditions may affect their care. It also demands an advanced command of pharmacology: selecting medications, calculating doses and conversions, understanding pharmacodynamics, titrating medications in real time, and accepting responsibility for a patient’s safety when they have entrusted him with their well-being.

That background shapes Dr. Carrell’s philosophy at Snatched. He believes excellent care begins with listening, earning trust, understanding each patient’s goals, and developing a personalized plan rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol. His approach emphasizes thoughtful medication management, careful titration, anatomical precision, and multimodal strategies designed to improve comfort while minimizing pain, unnecessary medication exposure, cognitive effects, and other unwanted side effects.

After witnessing how poor metabolic health, visceral adiposity, hormonal decline, and the Standard American Diet contribute to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver and kidney dysfunction, mood disorders, muscle loss, diminished function, and a shortened healthspan, Dr. Carrell expanded his focus toward proactive health optimization. He continues advanced education through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine in longevity medicine, bioidentical hormone replacement, metabolic health, and peptide therapies.

His additional training includes Biote certification in hormone optimization and testosterone and estradiol pellet therapy; certification in regenerative sexual-health procedures, including the O-Shot® and P-Shot®; training in GAINSWave® shockwave therapy; and advanced Sciton laser technologies.

At Snatched, Dr. Carrell brings together the vigilance of an anesthesiologist, the procedural skill of an ultrasound-trained physician, and growing expertise in metabolic, hormonal, regenerative, sexual, and aesthetic medicine. His mission is to help patients improve body composition, preserve muscle, reduce metabolic risk, restore vitality, and achieve results that look healthy and natural.

Known for his calm presence and bedside manner, Dr. Carrell wants every patient to feel heard, understood, safe, and confident in their care. His clinical experience, pharmacologic expertise, procedural precision, and respect for the body’s regenerative potential form the medical foundation of Snatched.
