Saw Dr. Quinlan for the first time and I have to say I was impressed by her professionalism. I went in to have my knee x-rayed and also thinking that I would have to have surgery in the coming weeks. However,Dr Quinlan’s diagnosis show that I am a candidate for Therapy however, she recommended going through other processes before thinking about surgery. I was impressed and so happy to hear that she’s is not a medical person who jumps to surgery unless it’s absolutely necessary at the time. Received great advice!
