Laura Tracey, PA-C

As a physician assistant specializing in general surgery at Methodist Physicians Clinic, Laura Tracey, PA-C, enjoys seeing the impact she can make for patients.
"I like helping patients understand their condition and its treatment," said Tracey, who also has experience working as a circulating nurse in Methodist operating rooms. "When surgical intervention is warranted, it's gratifying to see how drastically a patient's quality of life may be improved in a relatively short amount of time."
She strives to embody The Meaning of Care by basing every action on the patient's well-being as she works to establish a personal connection.
"Developing rapport is important," she said. "Patients should feel not only confident in the care they receive but also comfortable enough to ask questions or bring up concerns."
