Meet Bare Dermatology’s very own, Karaneh (Karen) Karimi! Born under the star-studded skies of Los Angeles, CA, and molded by the vibrant energy of Plano, TX, she’s a blend of the West Coast and Southern charm.

Karen first delved into the intricate depths of the human mind as she pursued a degree in Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. But her thirst for knowledge knew no bounds, leading her to the realm of Biomedical Sciences at the University of North Texas.

Her journey took a twist when she traveled to Texas Tech University School of Medicine. Here, she not only earned her Medical Degree but also defied convention by simultaneously mastering the art of business through an MBA from Texas Tech’s Rawls College of Business.

Dr. Karimi’s pursuit of excellence carried her across terrains and time zones. From the sun-soaked shores of Southern California to the bustling heart of Minneapolis, she amassed a wealth of experience.
