There is a "silent agreement" that exists between this doctor & others like him, that is specifically "designed" to keep You from being able to easily get a 2nd opinion & keep the business for themselves, by forcing You to out yourself to your 1st doctor to get all the information about your surgery & bring it to them, including x-rays, so that they can save themselves the Time & Money, before they reject You, after they Charge you for another doctors results, because you are a "Flight Risk" just for asking !!!

Dr. Quam is a treasure! I had a 3 inch difference in leg length which he reduced to 1/8 OF AN INCH!! by performing a posterior hip replacement. Miraculous! He's also kind and accessible and fun too! I have such gratitude for him and recommend him unequivocally. You can't go wrong with Dr. Quam. Best Dr. ever.

Dr Quam is highly skilled and experienced at total hip replacements. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience from pre surgery to post surgery and recovery. Great office and staff too.

I broke my hip last spring and Dr. Quam was my surgeon. He is highly skilled and experienced, yet he is very personable and took the time to answer any questions and concerns I had. He has my highest recommendation.

I had a THR by Dr. Quam 12 weeks ago and couldn't be more appreciative! He's easy to talk to, patient and explained everything so I was very at ease going into surgery. His staff were equally as accommodating, courteous and helpful. I haven't felt this good for years.... Thank you Dr. Quam and Staff!

I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel on my left hand along with 'trigger finger' of my index & ring finger. Dr Quam was the surgeon who performed the procedures and I experienced absolutely no pain after the surgery and during the recovery. It has been over one month since the procedures and I speak highly of Dr. Quam along with the entire staff at Gateway Surgery Center in Everett. I may need carpal tunnel surgery along with trigger release on my right hand and will request the services of Dr. Quam.

Excellent surgeon and person! Takes time to listen to your concerns and address them. After praying extensively about finding the right doctor I truly feel he was the best choice for performing my surgery!!!
