Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Helpful and timely
The scheduling department contacted me the same day as the referral. They were able to access my X-rays (at a different facility)which were taken only 2 business days before. Dr. Tracy explained results of X-rays and treatment after multiple questions and examining my left knee. He was very thorough and positive. He answered all of my questions and did a good job of anticipating questions as well. P.S. 5 years ago Dr. Tracy did the same treatment on my right leg. No problems since then. I hope and anticipate I will have the same good long lasting results.

Amazing guy and Physician
After neglecting my knees for years, I finally managed to tear my meniscus. My primary care physician referred me to Dr Tracy. After surgery to clean up and do repairs, I went home. By Day 3 the nerve block ended. By Day 4 I had zero pain, no swelling and was walking better than I have in 20 years- seriously walking with no pain at all! At my follow up with him yesterday he agreed to do my other knee. Dr Tracy is just one of those super knowledgeable guys who explains things that makes it easy to understand It’s like talking to your neighbor rather than a physician and surgeon. I absolutely can’t recommend him enough. I wasn’t paid for this review and never met him before this. He’s the best.

Excellent bedside manner. Very thorough exam.
I was referred to Dr. Tracy after sustaining an ankle sprain that wasn't healing. He was very thorough in his exam-explaining his findings to me. Talked about treatment options and together we formulated a treatment plan. He is a great listener with excellent bedside manner and very personable. Despite my injury, I had a pleasant experience with him.

Milwaukee, WI – May 06, 2022

Dr. Tracy is a phenomenal surgeon who performed two total knee replacements on me within a 13 week time period the later part of 2020. My recovery and results exceeded my expectations which is due to Dr. Tracy's surgical skills and knowledge. I knew I was in good hands and had complete trust in him. Dr. Tracy's PA, Wes Ladwig, played a critical role in helping me decide to move forward with the surgeries along with support during and after with my recoveries along with Dr. Tracy. Both of these men treated me so well and are stellar individuals and I am not sure if I can adequately thank them for getting my life back! I am no longer accommodating the problem! Also I wanted to mention that the staff at WI Bone and Joint Mayfair offices are super friendly and it was always a great experience being in the office.

I highly recommend Dr. Tracy and his team! I came to him after feeling defeated after hearing the recommendations for my knee from my former Ortho. Dr. Tracy presented me with an option that replaced my damage knee cartilage with my own newly grown cartilage! The MACI procedure changed my life for the better! After months of tough therapy, I am now able to exercise and hang out with my kids with barely any pain! Thank you !

Dr Tracy performed a massive rotator cuff repair on my right shoulder in August of 2018. After 7 months I am at 100% range of motion and unrestricted in activity, still building strength. Start with a great surgeon and do the work in rehab and you will have a great result!!!! I highly recommend Dr Tracy and his staff!!

We saw Dr. Tracy for my daughter who is 12 years old and injured her ankle doing gymnastics. He was awesome with her! I would highly recommend him to any parent looking for an orthopedic specialist for their child with a sports related injury. I was able to make an appointment immediately and his staff was great. He is very knowledgeable and has an amazing bedside manner. Thank you Dr. Tracy for truly quality healthcare experience.

After undergoing knee surgery just 10 months prior our son tore his ACL and incurred other damage. We did extensive research to find a physician we felt confident could repair the already surgically repaired knee of our 15 year old high school soccer player and safely return him to athletics. Dr. Tracy exceeded our expectations. His involved approach to finding a long term repair for an already damaged knee speaks volumes to his level of care and expertise. Many thanks to him and his team.

After falling and tearing my rotator cuff, my PCP recommended Dr Tracy. To my surprise, he is not your typical specialist. He is personable, explains his thought process as to why he feels you need (or don't need surgery) in terms that the average person can understand. Following the surgery, he explained what he found (with before and after photos) and what I would expect as to the post surgery healing process. Saw Wes (his PA) for some post-op visits; excellent care! Highly Recommended!
