Q&A with Dr. Petranu
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?

What is your favorite children's book and why?
Madeline. Because it reminds me of all the wonderful times I got to read it with my kids.

Legos
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My parents. They immigrated to this country with very little and built a truly wonderful life for themselves and their children.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Spending time with my wife and 3 kids, traveling, hiking, restaurants, watching my kids play sports, going to the beach, and Chicago sports. Go Bears and Illini!
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I enjoy working with children and taking care of them. I love building great relationships with the families I take care of and watching the kiddos grow up.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I am good at communicating with kids and try to make the potentially stressful experience of going to the doctor one that is comfortable and even enjoyable. I love getting to know families and building trust with them.
How do you accommodate patients with special needs?
We welcome all patients and our goal is to provide the best possible care for all kids.
