"There’s nothing more rewarding than following children and their families in the long term. Seeing my patients five or 10 years after their bone marrow transplant — and hearing about all they have accomplished — always puts a smile on my face. "

Dr. Aleksandra Petrovic specializes in bone marrow transplantation for children with non-malignant conditions, such as bone marrow failure disorders or metabolic disorders.
While a bone marrow transplant is a lifesaving therapy, it can be very disruptive to daily life. Dr. Petrovic guides each patient and family through this process, discussing the potential risks and benefits, sharing what to expect, working through complications that arise and providing support through the highs and lows.
Dr. Petrovic also is a physician at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine.-

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Petrovic. My daughter is medically complex and it wasn’t until May of 2017 did We meet Dr. Petrovic and I actually feel like I found that one provider who has impacted my life and my daughters in such a tremondous and postive way . Dr. Petrovic has really put confidence back in me that there are doctors who still take the time to truly help children and there families. She takes the time to listen and dig a little deeper and find a resolution . Her experience with hematology and oncology is even better to have in a immunologist ! She was a wonderful add to Seattle children’s immunology department . Dr. Petrovic I thank you for all you do and have done ! You are a one of a kind doctor .
