About Mary W. Du Quette, MD

My path to medicine was circuitous and stemmed from my interest in dance and movement studies. I feel that my background strongly informs what I bring to patient care. My goal is to determine the source of pain for spine-related problems and to outline treatment choices for the patient. I try to do this in a way that they can understand and which allows them to make the best decisions for their own care. I respect the body's innate healing ability and each patient's primary role in selecting the direction of care. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time on the East Coast with my family and friends, attending theater and dance events in San Diego and taking long walks in our predictable San Diego climate.
