He sees patients of all ages. His approach to care involves creating patient-specific treatment plans that recognize varying impacts of conditions on different people, pinpoint the source of symptoms and incorporate individual patient’s goals and expectations. When surgery is warranted, Dr. Quinn prepares patients for the procedure with careful steps to optimize their health, using physical therapy (such as aquatic strengthening) and other methodologies. The goal is to reduce risk and set expectations for post-surgical function and quality of life.
