Women of Distinction 2019: Dr. Tracy McCall

It is Milwaukee Magazine’s pleasure to introduce this special section featuring female business owners, financial and spiritual leaders, health care professionals, entrepreneurs, philanthropists and all-around glass-ceiling breakers!

BY Kristine Hansen

Passionate about providing a broad-based plastic surgery practice (both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures), Dr. Tracy McCall was drawn to Wisconsin by an old friend who had already fallen in love with the state. She supports the “Stop the Bleed” program, which teaches bystanders to help in a bleeding emergency.

She saw an injury pattern involving table saws and worked with the Waukesha County Medical Society to award grants to area high schools to put a safer kind of saw in their wood shops. Joining other surgeons from other countries, McCall has provided care to disadvantaged patients in the developing world. She is happy to call Wisconsin home.

“I can’t solve all the world’s problems, but I can tidy my little corner.” – Dr. Tracy McCall Plastic Surgeon, Lake Country Plastic and Hand Surgery

A seasoned writer, and a former editor at Milwaukee Home & Fine Living, Kristine Hansen launched her wine-writing career in 2003, covering wine tourism, wine and food pairings, wine trends and quirky winemakers. Her wine-related articles have published in Wine Enthusiast, Sommelier Journal, Uncorked (an iPad-only magazine), FoodRepublic.com, CNN.com and Whole Living (a Martha Stewart publication). She's trekked through vineyards and chatted up winemakers in many regions, including Chile, Portugal, California (Napa, Sonoma and Central Coast), Canada, Oregon and France (Bordeaux and Burgundy). While picking out her favorite wine is kind of like asking which child you like best, she will admit to being a fan of Oregon Pinot Noir and even on a sub-zero winter day won't turn down a glass of zippy Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
