Patient Testimonial
I highly recommend Dr. Quaas and SGF! He was attentive, thorough, and kind. I also like that I saw him for every ultrasound appointment and he was very involved in my care. They’re an incredible team and I appreciate what they have done for me.

Dr. Quaas is the kindest, most caring doctor. The team is truly the best and they really care about the patients. It’s a new practice, but I truly believe Dr. Quaas and the team understand the research and have great success rates. My husband and I are so grateful!

Amazing care! Dr. Quaas and his team are so proficient, professional, caring and understanding.

Q&A

I studied neuroscience in graduate school, so I assumed I would go into neurology or neurosurgery, but they really didn’t appeal to me in the same way as obstetrics and gynecology. When I saw my first delivery, I knew that’s what I wanted to do. It was absolutely incredible.

Given my neuroscience background, I found reproductive endocrinology allowed me to continue to think about how the brain and pituitary work.

There are many stories! I think the first in this field was a patient I met when I was a resident. She was brought in by ambulance obtunded with heavy bleeding and her husband said she was pregnant. She had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. She went to the ICU after surgery, and I was not sure she would survive. Thankfully she did. It took her a while to try to conceive again. She became my patient when I was an attending physician, and she did in vitro fertilization (IVF) and was successful.

Seeking care with a reproductive endocrinologist is difficult on so many levels, no matter what the reason. I’ve found through the years that listening is key. Sometimes people have other factors in their lives that are also weighing them down, and it is important to acknowledge those things.

All of my patients! Also, my sister. She was the first person I knew who struggled with infertility and recurrent miscarriage. She is 14 years older than I am. When I was a child, she had 4 miscarriages, a stillborn, and finally a baby boy. She was so strong and endured so much. I couldn’t really understand it then but looking back I can see how incredible she is. 

Quiet. Honest. Determined. I like to laugh. 

There are lots of places I would like to travel and see but my real goal is to own a farm one day.

I love to cook and I love to feed people. I run and bicycle to get outside and let go of any stress. I like to draw and read.

I like walking my dog and spending time with my children, family and friends.
