FemaleAbout Laura M. Tracey
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."

If I could give 10 for Laura, I would. Laura was so kind, and patient. She looked at me when explaining my procedure and spent time with me. I didn't feel rushed at all. You can tell that she loves her job and is very good at it.

I would just like to thank Dr. Laura for her very real, very human interaction with me. During my visit, I found out some devastating news. She immediately offered a hug and support. It was so comforting when I was in shock and didn't kno what to do. I just want her to know how much that meant to me in a moment I felt like I couldn't breath. So thank you to her.

Laura was great, I was very worried about some bleeding I was having. She figured out what was happening and gave me a few choices as to how I wanted to handle it. She evn took a lot of time showing my wife how to apply and/or change the dressing if necessary . She also told me what time she would be in the office the next day if I had any concerns or needed more help

She was amazing and included in me the decision of when It would be a good time frame to go back to work. She gave me options and ensured all questions were answered. She made sure I had everything I needed and all questions answered before I left including work forms and some soap pads to help remove the surgical glue.
