He is described by Ganz as follows: "Dr. Quincy Quack is an amazingly kind and gentle duck – he runs the clinic and sees every single sick Webkinz. He can cure any illness – he has never failed. Dr. Quack has been romantically linked to Ms. Birdy…but he won't confirm anything."

Trivia

His office at the clinic had been given a makeover by Hailey and Elwin.[2]
- While not a makeover by Hailey and Elwin, it was written about how he decorated his kitchen for Christmas in 2012.[3]
He was once given a fashion makeover by Persephone.[4]
In early 2007, rumors were spread that Dr. Quack and other Webkinz Hosts could kill a player's pets. This rumor was known as the Webkinz Killer, though it was addressed by Ganz and proven false.
His name is a pun, as the word "quack" can mean both the sound a duck makes and a person who falsely claims to have medical knowledge.
- Ironically, Dr. Quack is not a quack, as he is a real doctor (albeit a retired one as of now).
