Dr. Mona Ezzat, MD delivers family and functional medicine in Kensington, San Diego through the Perlman Clinic office at 4142 Adams Avenue, Suite 102, serving patients across the 92116 ZIP in Normal Heights, University Heights, and the surrounding communities. She graduated from Rush Medical College in 1996 and completed family medicine residency at the University of Michigan Health System in 1999. Oral health intersects with the systemic conditions Dr. Ezzat manages — periodontal disease correlates with cardiovascular and diabetic risk — and she coordinates dental referrals with Adams Avenue Family Dental further west on Adams Avenue for patients whose metabolic profiles warrant closer dental monitoring. Dr. Ezzat holds board certifications from the American Board of Family Medicine, the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, and the Institute for Functional Medicine, carrying ABFM, ABHIM, and IFMCP credentials. Her functional medicine practice involves advanced laboratory testing — comprehensive metabolic panels, hormone profiling, micronutrient analysis, and gut-health markers — to identify the underlying drivers of chronic conditions rather than managing symptoms in isolation. The Kensington office on Adams Avenue is part of the Perlman Clinic network and affiliated with XiMED IPA, extending referral access across San Diego's specialist physician community. Dr. Ezzat speaks Spanish, Chinese, French, Tagalog, and English, making her one of the most multilingual family physicians in the 92116 area. The Adams Avenue location is a five-minute drive from Balboa Park via Park Blvd and sits just off the I-15 freeway, drawing patients from the El Cajon Blvd corridor in University Heights and the Normal Heights residential blocks above Mission Valley. Her integrative approach includes exercise prescription as part of functional medicine treatment plans, and strength-training protocols at The Yard Gym Normal Heights on Adams Avenue provide the structured resistance and metabolic conditioning that her patients use to implement those prescriptions. Dr. Ezzat's clinical focus areas include thyroid management — informed by her own treatment history with thyroid cancer — alongside fertility support, chronic fatigue evaluation, autoimmune assessment, and gut-health restoration using functional medicine's systems-biology framework.
