Additional Information

My name is Dr. Niran Al-Agba and I am board-certified in Pediatrics and a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I work at a busy outpatient pediatrics clinic for 22 years. I see thousands of patients annually. As a rural pediatrician, I have extensive experience with urgent and emergency care of children, including abusive trauma, bruising, fractures, asthma, allergic reactions, drug allergy, removal of foreign bodies, animal bites, wound care and head trauma. I teach and supervise medical students and residents regularly. I graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine, the top-ranked school in primary care medicine for the past 20 years. I trained in general pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and residency at Denver Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado. I hold a dual adjunct faculty appointment as an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine and Seattle Children's Hospital in Seattle, Washington. I teach Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) at Seattle Children's Hospital to physicians, nurses and other allied health personnel. I have served on the Admissions Committee at the University of Washington School of Medicine for more than 20 years. I am Adjunct Faculty at the Northwest Family Medicine Residency Program in Bremerton, WA. I have published a book on the subject of non-physicians working in healthcare titled, Patients at Risk: The rise of the nurse practitioner and physician assistant in healthcare. I am a national expert on data regarding nonphysicians working in supervised/unsupervised healthcare settings. I have been performing legal reviews since 2019. My goal is to provide comprehensive medical opinions for case reviews and legal proceedings. I have provided medical consultation for plaintiffs and defendants in civil, military, and criminal cases. I have testified at trial successfully on a multitude of topics. I have considerable experience evaluating evidence of child abuse and neglect and evaluating pediatric standards of care. My clinical schedule is flexible, and I have plenty to time to take on cases for review.
