Tracy Lathrop, MD, FACOG

I have always been told I am a good listener, and I enjoy helping people, so it was a natural choice to go into the medical field. My approach to care is I try to pay attention to the "whole person" because often what is going on in someone's personal life affects their medical conditions. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, two cats and dog; traveling to new places; shopping; and watching Pittsburgh sports teams.

I chose to become a doctor after earning my PharmD and completing two years of pharmacy residency. I learned that although I really enjoy pharmacotherapeutics, I was missing the patient interaction. I most enjoy getting to know my patients and the relationship I build with them as a primary care physician. I believe that a treatment plan or prevention plan needs to be devised with the patient and not made for them. I try to listen to my patients and help them formulate plans that will work with their personal goals. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three kids.
