Monica Atkinson, MD
Medical Director, President
MEDEXPERT
After graduating with a medical degree in 2002, Dr. Monica Atkinson spent two decades building deep clinical experience balancing two roles: practicing as a family physician at Cooper University Health Care in New Jersey and serving as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University.
“Those years shaped me not only as a clinician, but as a mentor and educator committed to elevating the next generation of physicians,” Atkinson shares. “In October 2025, I founded MedExpert, a concierge practice grounded in the latest evidence-based science, combined with functional and innovative approaches. My mission at MedExpert is that every person who enters our practice can confidently say, ‘I finally found my medical home.’”
Q: Why should patients consider a concierge approach to wellness?
A: Concierge medicine offers easier access, longer visits, minimal waiting and a doctor who truly knows you. It removes bureaucracy, focuses on whole-person care, and provides the peace of mind of having a trusted medical home you can always count on.
Q: Which health issues do you find most concerning in today’s world?
A: Today’s most concerning health issues include rising rates of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer; mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression and burnout; increasing autoimmune and inflammatory conditions; antibiotic resistance; and the long-term effects of sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, environmental toxins and chronic stress on overall well-being.
Q: How do you feel about prescribing weight loss drugs to treat obesity (in non-diabetic patients)?
A: I believe weight-loss medications can be valuable tools for non-diabetic patients with obesity when used responsibly. They’re most effective alongside lifestyle changes, careful monitoring and personalized care. These medications aren’t shortcuts—they’re evidence-based options that, when appropriately prescribed, can improve metabolic health, reduce disease risk and support long-term wellness.
