There, she completed a rigorous combined Medical Doctorate (MD) degree (2017) and 6-year residency (2019).

After completing her specialized training, Dr. Quimby spent time as a faculty member at Nova Southeastern University in the College of Dental Medicine working as a surgeon and mentor to numerous residents. Her desire to serve each of her patients and their family members with the highest level of personalized care led her to open her private practice in 2022. Here, she is dedicated to managing complex cases by keeping the surgical process transparent so that her patients always feel empowered in their healthcare.
