Dana C. Matthews, MD
Hematology-Oncology
On staff since March 1988
Children's Title: Director, Clinical Hematology; Chair, Blood Usage Committee
Academic Title: Professor
Research Center: Center for Clinical and Translational Research
"Every time I walk into a clinic room to meet a new patient, I enjoy getting to know the patient and the parents, perhaps hearing a new language and learning something about what their life is like. I try hard to understand what they know, what they do not know, how I can best explain the diagnosis, and how we can work together most effectively to make decisions about diagnosis and treatment. I am profoundly fortunate to work with colleagues who are smart, warm and witty people as well as great clinicians. They care about our patients and about their colleagues on our team. Working together is stimulating, fun and gratifying."

Dana C. Matthews, MD, is director of clinical hematology at Seattle Childrens Hospital and head of the Pediatric Hemophilia Program; she is associate professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Her research interests include risk-based optimization of the treatment of pediatric thrombosis, clinical outcomes in patients with hemophilia, and novel treatments for immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
Current and pending research includes involvement in an international project to characterize immune responses to factor VIII that result in inhibiting antibodies, a multicenter pediatric trial of a thrombopomimetic agent in ITP, and pilot pediatric studies of a novel oral anticoagulant. She is interested in improving the outcome for pediatric patients with thrombosis by developing a pediatric thrombosis registry and developing clinical trials for subgroups of patients with thrombosis. She is medical director of the Anticoagulation Service for Seattle Childrens Hospital, and chair of the Blood Usage Committee. National responsibilities include membership on the Certification and Continuing Education Committee and the Nominating Committee of the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the American Board of Pediatrics, and is completing a term on the hematology-oncology subboard. She will be Medical Editor for that subboard beginning in 2011.

Dr. Dana Matthews is the best!! My daughter, Nicki, has been seeing Dana for 15 years now. Currently Nicki attends college in another state and she always looks forward to her visits with Dr. Matthews when she is back in town. She is dreading the day when Dr. Matthews tells her she can't see her anymore. Our family has always been extremely impressed with how caring and thoughtful Dana is with each member of our family. Every questions is answered thoughtfully. I receive responses to emailed questions faster than any other medical provider I have ever encountered. OUR ENTIRE FAMILY LOVES DR DANA MATTHEWS! We will greatly miss her when Nicki ages out of Seattle Children's.

Dr. Matthews is the most wonderful provider I've ever had. She was my pediatric hematologist and always did an exceptional job explaining my bleeding disorder to me, and working with me on how to manage my health. Dr. Matthews single handedly inspired me from a young age to be "just like her" and work in the healthcare industry as a helpful, caring & intelligent woman. Today I am an adult, working in healthcare, because of her overall positive impact on me. I'm extremely grateful for the care that Dr. Matthews provided me!
-
We are VERY impressed with this impressive doctor! She knows what she's doing and we are confident with her skills. Highly Recommended!!!
-
Dr. Matthews was warm, friendly and so helpful when she examined our failure-to-thrive baby. It's wonderful when a doctor who really knows their stuff also knows how to care for people. Thank you, Dr. Matthews.
-
Dr. Dana Matthews and her team are outstanding!!! We have been extremely confident in her ability to treat our son.
-
Dana is an amazing doctor that really has a handle on dealing not only with the patient but also with the families. She treats both sides with respect and I HIGHLY recommend her.

- Research Description
-
My research interests include risk-based optimization of the treatment of pediatric thrombosis, and clinical outcomes in patients with hemophilia. In particular, I am participating in projects including an effort to characterize immune responses to factor VIII that result in inhibiting antibodies that significantly complicate the management of hemophilia A, and a prospective study of the development of inhibitors in young patients with hemophilia.
Additionally, I am interested in improving the outcome for pediatric patients with thrombosis by developing clinical trials for subgroups of patients with thrombosis.
