  • Amenorrhea

    Amenorrhea

  • Amenorrhea

    Frontotemporal Dementia

    Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a common cause of dementia, is a group of disorders that occur when nerve cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain are lost. This causes the lobes to shrink. FTD can affect behavior, personality, language, and movement.

  • Fibroids

    Uterine Fibroids

    Uterine fibroids are tumors in a woman's uterus. They are usually not cancer. Doctors don't know what causes uterine fibroids. It may be that each tumor develops from an abnormal muscle cell in the uterus. This cell multiplies rapidly because of the effect of estrogen.

  • Gynecologic Ultrasound

    Pelvic Ultrasound

    A pelvic ultrasound is a scan that looks at the organs and structures in your pelvic area. Ultrasound uses a device called a transducer to send out sound waves that are too high to be heard. The transducer sends the sound waves through your skin and other body tissues to the organs and structures within. The sound waves bounce off the organs like an echo and return to the transducer. The transducer picks up the reflected waves. These are changed into a picture of the organs.

  • Hirsutism & Masculinization
  • Hysteroscopy

    Hysteroscopy

    Hysteroscopy is the exam of the inside of the cervix and uterus using a thin, lighted, flexible tube called a hysteroscope. Your healthcare provider inserts the device through the vagina.

  • In Vitro Fertilization
  • Infertility

    Infertility

    Infertility is a problem of the reproductive system. It impairs the body's ability to reproduce. It can be a problem in the female reproductive system, the male reproductive system, or a mix of the two.

  • Oncofertility
  • Oocyte Cryopreservation
  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

    PCOS is a common hormone problem in women of childbearing age. Women with PCOS may not ovulate, and have abnormal hormone levels. They may experience missed or irregular periods, excess hair growth and weight gain around the belly.

  • Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

    Understanding Repeated Pregnancy Loss

    Repeated pregnancy loss is when you have three or more miscarriages in a row. This usually happens in the first trimester or early second trimester. Miscarriages are common. You have a 15% to 20% chance of your pregnancy ending in miscarriage.

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
Research Interests

Dr. Quinn's research interests include optimizing pregnancy outcomes subsequent to assisted reproduction, the role of the reproductive laboratory in improving in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes, and the long-term safety of IVF and related treatments.
