Dr. Niran Al-Agba (Pronounced Niran like “Duran Duran” Al-AJba) is a third generation board-certified Pediatrician in private practice in Silverdale, Washington, a practice that has been open since 1971 before she was born!
She earned her medical degree at the University of Washington in 1999. She then went on to complete her pediatric residency at the University of Colorado School of Medicine/Denver Children’s Hospital in 2002.
She is a frequent contributor to KevinMD, blogs at niranalagba.com and is Mom to four children and in her spare trimester is chasing them or is at her practice.
Dr. Niran Al-Agba shares her story as to why DPC was not the solution for her. She shares how her practice is ideal as she has relationship-based medicine, charges for non-covered services and one works 20 hours a week while managing being a Mom to four as well as an author of numerous newspaper articles, blog posts and recently, she co-authored the book “Patients At Risk” with Dr. Rebekah Bernard. Honoring transparency as well, Dr. Al-Agba’s story really highlights similarities between her clinic and a DPC practice and demonstrates that DPC is not the answer for some and that’s ok.
