Following graduation from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Quimby pursued her interest in feline medicine in private practice at a feline exclusive clinic in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

During her residency Dr. Quimby specialized in feline renal disease, and is now pursuing a PhD, exploring several aspects of this all too common disorder. Dr. Quimby is at the forefront of a number of research projects looking at telomere senescence as a possible cause of kidney disease, the use of stem cells as a novel therapy for kidney disease, and the efficacy of several drug therapies for kidney disease. She and her husband Michael are owned by five wonderful felines.
