About The Provider
Noah Quinlan, MD is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder and elbow care at Intermountain Health’s McKay-Dee Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Clinic in Ogden, Utah. He supports patients in Ogden, North Ogden, South Weber, northern Davis County, and surrounding communities providing treatment for shoulder and elbow arthritis, rotator cuff tears, biceps tears, labral tears, shoulder instability, frozen shoulder, fractures of the clavicle/shoulder/humerus/elbow, elbow epicondylitis, triceps tears, cubital tunnel syndrome, and sports injuries. He enjoys caring for these pathologies utilizing both operative and non-operative techniques to relieve pain and restore function to his patients.
Dr. Quinlan became an orthopedic surgeon because of the multiple orthopedic procedures he had as a high school athlete. He feels movement is essential to quality of life, and orthopedic care is critical for patients of all ages and activity levels. His goal is to treat each patient with a personalized plan starting with non-operative modalities, proceeding with surgery only when it’s truly needed. He enjoys being a shoulder and elbow specialist because it allows him to treat all relevant pathologies throughout a patient’s lifespan.
Outside the clinic, the New Jersey native enjoys spending time with his wife and their golden doodle named Luna. He enjoys skiing, cycling, swimming, running, and golfing.

Was concerned about the extreme pain I had recommended PT

I feel that having Dr. Quinlan is a plus, because he is a younger doctor with all of the new medicine aspects on orthopedic surgery. He seems to know my problems with my shoulders and the arthritis and has given me alternatives that we will answer in the next month.

Dr Quinlan listened to my questions. Answered each. I'm happy to know surgery isn't needed. I told him I exercise at BLHS pool at least three days a week and the exercises I do. He agreed I could continue and add my diving board pullups. He gave me exercise information and a rubber band.

As mentioned earlier, he as an arrogant doctor that doesn't take into consideration what the patient has to say.

First visit with Dr. Quinlan and he explained everything in detail regarding my medical condition. I highly recommend him.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/22/2025
I had a set of expectations from the visit, time spent with me, explanations, exam of the issue not just a look at the MRI... and Dr Quinlan hit it out of the park making me feel seen and heard and explaining the risk and benefits of the future surgery that is needed
