  • Patient Testimonials

    • Cristian Tacoma, WA 04.21.24

      We saw Dr. Quitiquit for my son’s Osteochondritis dissecan injury. My son was devastated to not be able to play soccer for 6 months. I wasn’t able to make it to his first appointment in person. Dr. Quitiquit was excellent. She took photos of the XRays and had my husband text them to me while I was on the phone. Each appointment her and her staff had such a positive disposition and gave my son such undivided attention. It was wonderful to watch the interaction as she educated him patiently on how to care for his knee. As a mom I was so touched by the genuine care and attention she provided at each appointment. Happy to announce that my son recovered without surgery. Dr. Quitiquit is the best! I will always be so appreciative of the care she and her team provided my son during this difficult trial in our life.
