I was shocked to see that Dr Quick passed away last year. I hadn't seen her for at least a couple of years & was going to make an appointment with her.  I'm very saddened to learn what happened. She was a very nice person & a good doctor. Dr Quick will be missed.  Blessings to her family. 😞

I was a patient of Dr.Quick. I loved our conversations, and her humor. It was fun to joke with her about being a proper Southern Lady, as I was born in Louisiana.
She was a very smart, caring, and loving person. Dr. Quick truly  cared about people. I have much admiration for her, as being a woman Physician, and us both being Generation X’ers  she paved the way for many other women. Thank you for your amazing touch and fixing me.
I will never forget you! Here is a toast of some fine Southern Bourbon to a very fine ( and proper) Southern Lady! 
Kind Regards,
Natalie 


My husband, John, was rushed to St. Mary's hospital on Christmas Eve 2011 by Drexel Heights paramedics who properly diagnosed an abdominal aortal aneurysm.  Dr. Quick was assigned to be his surgeon and my husband's first question to her was "Are you tall enough to operate on me?"  She responded with "I'll stand on a stool but I won't be quick!''  They continued to joke with each other all  the way to the operating room and, after a very long surgery,  she saved his life - our own Christmas miracle.

Bless her and the family and friends she leaves behind.  I lost my husband in 2016 - perhaps they are continuing the humor in heaven.

I first heard about Dr. Quick when I was working in the PACU of North West Hospital from one of the Operating Room personnel who raved about this young female surgeon who "literally held hearts in her hands" with calmness and respectfulness not witnessed before at this level.  Though the years I came to know and appreciate this wonderful woman as a colleague and friend.   I miss how she made me feel a part of her extended circle of friends even though we met infrequently.  I miss her calm, her graciousness and her quick wit.  She held my heart for years.  Although it is broken now, I doubt that I will ever have a taste of Bourbon without thinking of her.  

I had the honor and privilege to work with Dr. Quick at Carondelet St. Mary’s, Tucson, Arizona.

I’ll miss working with Dr. Quick so much, especially on weekends when we were cleaning up somebody’s feet. Her sense of humor was right up my alley and we’d laugh and laugh. Rest in sweet peace  Rhonda. 
With fond memories, 
Paula 

I have worked with Rhonda, and adored the care and expertise she always brought to the lab.  She was always in a great mood and cared for her patients as though they were a family member.  It's with saddness that I offer condolences to her family and friends, she will be greatly missed in our hearts. Rest in Peace Rhonda.

My sincerest condolences to Becki & Regina. Rhonda was a truly wonderful person. I have yet to see another surgeon who matches the empathy, love and humor Rhonda shared with her patients and co-workers. She is so missed. May God comfort you with happy memories and peace.

Whether it was a quick smile and a wink, or a hug and a humorous word or two, or a serious discussion regarding a mutual patient's treatment plan.... Dr. Quick's appearance in my day just brightened it. I loved to see her interact  with her patients. They, and their family members, were always calmer in her presence. She could ease the fears with her rational medical expertise and build confidence with her gentle humor and perpetual optimism. I know this, not only,  by observing her while working as a Pre-Op Nurse at Northwest Hospital, but also from the perspective of being one of her many grateful patients. 
To her Momma and Sister, my heartfelt condolences. We are all mourning with you. Gone too soon. XO 


Oh my how you are missed and thought of on a daily basis.  Words cannot express my thoughts....16 years of working together, the conferences we went together on, the knowledge you have taught not only myself but the stranger you may have bumped into.  Loved hearing the stories of your trips and I was so looking forward to the stories you would have brought back from Ireland.  I loved that you embraced us techs with the opening of your home during the holidays and taught us so much about bourbon, nicknacks,  and life in general .  I will treasure your laugh, stories, tears, hugs,  and your passion for giving little joys to others with little items or cards that totally fit that person ( even tho you probably shopped for hours for it).  

You are truly an amazing human being and will be missed by all that you touched.

Till we meet again..... Amy

Dr Quick made an impression on me.  I first met her at Northwest Med Center, where I worked on the ACT unit as an RN.  She later treated me numerous times, at Vein Solutions. I will always remember on the 3rd or 4th visit, (with many weeks in between) she said to me, “this is the first time you haven’t had to wait.” I could not believe she could retain and keep track of that, much less feel led to say it.   She was so darn smart,  so nice, funny, always interested in what was new.. travels, hers and mine.  We had the best chats. She was so unique, in such quality ways. I will always remember her.

I’m still in disbelief. 

Dr Quick was more than just a doctor I worked for. She was an incredible human being whose passing has made this world a whole lot dimmer. 

Whether we were talking about college football or saving the turtles or what delicious lunch your mama was going to bring us that day, there was never a dull moment with you in our lives. 

And even though you loved your Auburn team (War Eagle!), you always made sure to  text me “Go Dawgs!” because you knew I was screaming at the television on Saturdays. 

I will miss your sweet disposition and your kindness most of all. 

I worked with Dr. Quick for nearly 14 years as a receptionist/scheduler in her medical practice. It’s hard to say exactly what I will miss about Dr. Quick, because there are so many things. Her sense of humor, her caring, her kindness are just a few of the things that come to mind when I think of her. She would always take the time to answer any questions that I had, regardless of how tedious the question may have been. She treated me with kindness and respect and not just like an employee , but like a friend. I feel very fortunate for the years I spent learning and laughing with her. I will miss her greatly. My sincerest condolences to her family and to her lovely mother, who was also a part of our office family for years.  
Sincerely, 
Delia Kincaid 

Dr Rhonda Quick:

What  a special person; very caring and compassionate with her patients and always friendly and easy going.  When we heard (those from Northwest Hospital)  that she had passed we were in tears.  She  has left  a lasting impression on all of us here and she will be missed greatly.  Thoughts and prayers to all of her family.

Dr Quick  took care of my husband she was good at explains everything that was going on. She was the best.  My thought and prayers are with her family at this time.

I am a patient of Dr. Quick. We got to know each other a little more while I was doing my Hyperbaric Treatments. My first visit for dressing change, she told her Head Nurse we have a "tickler" 😊, she asked if I was in pain while she was cleaning up wound & I just giggled. She was a warm, loving & caring doctor. On my final visit with her, I gave her a big hug & thanked her, we shed a few happy years together. Told her that I was asking Creator to Bless her in her continued service for the people. Now she's up there taking care of the Angels broken wings. May she be forever at peace & Perpetual light shine upon her. Much Love, Hugs & Prayers go out to her Family, Friends & Relatives. Fly with the Angels Dr. Quick, untill we meet again 😥

I worked for several years in the Northwest Medical Center CVICU as one of the charge RNs which provided many opportunities to care for Dr. Quick’s post-op patients.  She was always pleasant and wonderful to work with as well as having a great sense of humor.  She was also a neighbor and I would see her sometimes on morning walks as she was going to work.   I will miss her and wish God’s comfort to fill the family with peace.

I remember Rhonda as an intelligent and talented resident at  UK. She was also compassionate with a great sense of humor. She will always be special in our memories.

I remember the day Dr. Quick saved my mother's life. What was supposed to be a 2 hour surgery turned into 12 plus hours. I remember her coming out with a smile on her face & a hug, and I knew my mom was in good hands. Thank you for giving me 3 additional years to spend with my mother. You will be truly missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Rhonda at the Heart Hospital and was also her patient. Her kindness, bedside manner, and medical practice were without compare! She is missed, loved, and will never be forgotten. RIP Rhonda, may your family and friends forever celebrate your beautiful life!

Rhonda was a good friend while she lived in Lexington.  She brought joy into so many lives.  Tom and I adored her.  Heartfelt condolences to her family.

Many of us worked with her at Tucson Heart Hospital and loved her ! 
She was sweet and funny .
She treated all the staff with respect and was always quick with a smile and really nice ! 


Dr. Rhonda Quick was a thoughtful and highly skilled vascular surgeon.  I had two surgeries performed by Dr. Quick and each had a successful outcome.  I am going to miss Dr. Quick's expertise and quality of care.  

I had a two-week post-surgery visit with Dr Quick last fall at Carondolet. She was the first and only doctor who gave me a big hug when she walked into the room. I remember that it was a long-lasting hug, and I said to her "Shall we dance?' She answered with "I think my dance card is full." 

Along with being very meticulous, Dr Rhonda Quick was witty, funny, lovable, and extremely caring. She spent over an hour checking me out of Northwest Hospital, and that was mainly because nurses were gathered around her. They were asking her questions and listening to her explanations. Later, one nurse told me that Dr Quick really helped them by giving them easy to understand answers to their questions.

Dr Quick will be missed; I hope she's giving and receiving hugs from the angels.

Dr.  Quick was one of the best surgeons I have ever worked with at Northwest. I enjoyed working with her a few years ago before I have left. I've missed singing Good Vibrations by Marky Mark while dancing along, talking about Joe Flacco and how hot he is, enjoying her mom's Snicker doodle cookies, lastly Rhonda talked about how she loved drinking her  Kentucky Bourbon on a hot summer. She was the only surgeon who showed up to my going away party as a surprise. So many good memories and such a kind soul. She will be missed by many people. My prayer goes out to her family and friends. It was an honor working with her.

Dr.Rhonda Quick was such a caring doctor. She never treated us like she the doctor and we were the Nurses. She treated as equals. Going to miss the late nights sitting the Recovery Room at St.Mary's talking about her patients she had a soft spot for , her love of Bourbon  and her Mom's cooking .May she rest in peace and be reunited with her dog Bell in heaven. Our Thoughts and Prayers are with her Family  !

My relationship with Rhonda was purely professional.  I work at NWMC as a pharmacist in internal medicine and the OR/ICU.  Rhonda was always very polite and professional.  I could tell how dedicated she was to her patients.... very caring and so hard working.   I was stunned to learn of her passing and I pray God will comfort her mother and other family members.  I pray she is safe with Jesus.

I first met Rhonda in CTICU at UK where I worked night shift. Rhonda would spend many nights sitting up with very sick patients, and we would keep each other rolling with laughter while caring for them. As of late we had been sharing our love of dogs and bourbon. Rhonda was an incredible mix of fine surgical skills, best humor, love of dogs, and impeccable taste in bourbon. You will be greatly missed. I will think of you any time I take a sip of Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream. 

Ah.... this woman, this excellent physician, this most wonderful human being; I had the distinct honor and personal pleasure of working with Rhonda at NWMC.  She made me laugh until I cried most days- it was always a pleasure to be in her company.  I loved her posts of Belle in costume and the witch memes or jokes she would send me around Halloween. I will miss her wit, our chats about good Kentucky bourbon, and her quickie “hey how ya doing texts”.    Safe travels Rhonda.... I will always carry you with true fondness in my heart.  You were one of the good ones.

I worked with Dr. Quick at St. Mary’s and Northwest and shared many days and nights with her caring for patients. She was always so kind to her patients and to staff.  She had a great sense of humor.  I will miss her!

Such a beautiful soul, a skilled surgeon, and friend who will be missed but forever remembered.  Rhonda's sense of humor and wonderful stories always brought a smile to my face     My heartfelt sympathies to her family, patients, and many friends

I went to high school with Rhonda and played in the band with her.  The impression she made on me when I was 15 years old has stayed with me all these decades later. She was kind, with a personality that would draw you to her and a sense of humor that stayed with you. I didn’t keep in touch with her through the years, and I will regret that for years to come. I wondered what she became, and how she had been since high school. I only learned after her passing that she was a respected and well loved surgeon, and I wasn’t surprised. She was a wonderful woman and made an impact on everyone she knew.  May God’s peace be with her family and friends and I hope that they are comforted by the legacy of love and laughter she leaves behind.  She will be missed.  

I was so blessed to have worked with Dr. Rhonda Quick since she came to Northwest Medical Center.  She was truly a very special person, who loved her patients and Friends dearly.  I will miss her laughter the pictures of pugs that she always sent to me and I will also miss her very funny stories.  I am so blessed that our paths crossed in this lifetime.  May God comfort her family at this time.  You will truly be missed Rhonda.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Dr. Rhonda Quick at Carondelet and Vein Solutions. A very memorable experience. May you rest in paradise Dr. Quick. You will be missed. Thank you for your sense of humor and smiles. 

My condolences to her family.  

I have been treated by Dr. Quick for many years. She was a great doctor and very kind and even funny. Every time I needed her she was there for me. I miss her very much. Sending loving prayers to her family and friends as well as staff.

I had the pleasure of working with Rhonda at St. Mary’s Hospital over the past several years. It was my honor to have known her as  not only a colleague but someone I considered a friend. I will miss her as will so many  others whose lives she touched. Rest In Peace Rhonda. May her memory be eternal and may God bless and comfort her family, friends, colleagues and patients who mourn her passing.

You made a difference, both professionally and personally in the lives of many. Your passion and humor made you special. You will be remembered.

I will look for you in The Keys, making beer can art and saving sea turtles.  Have a good journey.

Remembering your smile, humor and skill . You are still among my favorites after all these years....thanks for the laughs and support during your time at UK. RIP Rhonda..praying for your family and friends at this time.
