Across my various breaking body parts, Dr Quinlan was a skilled surgeon that did my bilateral hip revisions. She identified bone ossification and ordered radiation to help keep my ROM. Recently, I had a partial tear of a knee tendon. She was able to alleviate my concerns and impact on other damaged body parts. Highly recommend.

Dr. Quinlan was knowledgeable, informative and took time to sit down and have a conversation about my injury. I didn't feel rushed and got all my questions answered.
