Sarah Tracy, MD

Dr. Sarah Tracy is a UW Health Kids surgeon and an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. She specializes in caring for children with a wide range of conditions that affect the chest and abdomen. Dr. Tracy is also deeply involved in research, working with other hospitals to learn more about rare diseases in children.

Dr. Tracy treats many types of conditions, including cancers that affect the skin, soft tissue and organs in the chest and belly. She has a special interest in pediatric surgical oncology, chest wall reconstruction and pilonidal disease. She is also helping build a robotic surgery program for children by working closely with adult surgeons who have experience in this area.

When caring for patients, Dr. Tracy focuses on building strong relationships. She takes time to learn about each child’s interests and personality. This helps her create a care plan that fits their needs. She works hard to make sure patients and families feel comfortable, informed, and supported—especially when facing surgery. She encourages families to ask questions and take time to make decisions.

Outside of work, Dr. Tracy enjoys playing field hockey. She is part of a local club team in Madison and loves practicing and competing with her teammates. She also has a background in coaching and teaching dance, which helps her connect with kids and teens in a fun and friendly way.

I hope for my patients to live the longest, healthiest life they can possibly live and do everything they want to accomplish.
