Idiom: on one's feet (US)

Hi guys,

can you please help me with the next quote? Context: Woman is describing an abilities of one doctor...."She's got great instinct, she's quick on her feet??, unlike some slackers she'll go above
and beyond for her patients
."

Please guys, I know this phrase in the context when someone become healthy again. (he's back on his feet) But what does it mean here? That she's quick in the finding of the medical diagnosis?

thanks in advance

Best Regards

JCD
