Nnenna Agim, MD is an experienced dermatologist board certified in both general and pediatric dermatology by the American Board of Dermatology. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minor in Psychology following which she trained in Medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, TX. She stayed on for an internship in Internal Medicine at Parkland Hospital before completing Dermatology residency training at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, serving as a chief resident.
She returned to Houston to complete a Pediatric Dermatology fellowship with Baylor College of Medicine at the world-famous Texas Children’s Hospital, following which she returned to Dallas to build a Pediatric Dermatology Practice and Program. A former Associate Professor of Dermatology, Division Chief and Program Director at the University of Texas Southwestern Dallas and Children’s Hospital Dallas, she served for over twelve years caring for patients and creating educational programs for medical students and residents, including the establishment of a fellowship program which graduated other successful Pediatric Dermatologists now practicing within and outside the United States.
Over the years, she has lectured locally, regionally and nationally. Her authorship in these areas of expertise is extensive and she has been fortunate to write, review or edit manuscripts for many of the major medical and dermatology journals: Pediatric Dermatology, Pediatrics, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, JAMA Dermatology, etc., textbooks, popular reference resources like VisualDx, and patient directed articles on preventive health.
She is quite honored to have been selected by peers as a Top Doctor/Pediatric Specialist in Dallas for the last 7 consecutive years and a Super Doctor of Texas for the past five years. Following the closure of the clinic at Children’s Health Dallas, she joined North Texas Dermatology Associates. A lifelong learner and professed medical sleuth, all aspects of dermatology, especially pediatric dermatology, education of families, creative solutions for common and complex problems, and telemedicine comprise her professional interests.
Outside of work, you can find her chasing after three very active boys, in the garden, or singing and dancing somewhere she hopes no one is watching.
