Mona Megahed, M.D.

Growing up Dr. Megahed always loved children and had an abundance of empathy for everyone around her. Ever since she was a little girl, she would gather young kids around her and mentor them. Although born and raised in Texas, she takes pride in her Egyptian heritage. Dr. Megahed, or “Dr. Mona” as her patients call her, graduated Summa Cum Laude from Houston Baptist University with a B.S. in Physics and Biology. In 2004 she received her Medical Doctorate from Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Medicine. After graduating medical school, Dr. Mona practiced medicine in several states including Georgia, New Jersey and Texas. Before moving to New Jersey, she worked at East Cobb Pediatrics for a year and absolutely loved it. She is excited to be back!

Dr. Mona loves working with children in every capacity. She has a special interest in preventive medicine, obesity management and helping those with developmental delay. She has three children; twin girls and a son who keep her on her toes. Dr. Mona loves keeping busy and has quite a bit on her plate. She is an active member of the school PTA and is a strong believer in education. She has given professional development classes to school teachers and presentations to students. Some of the topics she has covered include Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Learning Disabilities, Food Allergies, Hygiene, Puberty and Healthy Eating. She has also been working with refugees recently resettled to the United States since 2015 and is intimately involved with Ethaar, an organization that helps families have a seamless transition to life in the US.

She is well-cultured and enjoys traveling. She also enjoys volunteering with her children, reading a good book, taking brisk walks outside and playing the piano. She is bilingual and speaks both English and Arabic fluently.

She feels blessed to be part of an amazing team and looks forward to meeting, working with and really getting to know all of the East Cobb patients.

“We love Dr. Mona! She is such a wonderful pediatrician! She is very easy to talk to and is so detailed, thoughtful and kind. She’s funny with a common sense approach and gives practical advice to kids and parents alike. She relates information in a direct and understandable way which keeps my kids listening and she even handles the “embarrassing” questions with effortless tact that puts my kids at ease. She is a HUGE asset to East Cobb Pediatrics and our community as a whole.”

“We recently moved to georgia Marietta and I took my kids to eastcobb pediatrics because it’s nearby. But I love the practice. I took my kids to Dr. Mona mojahed and she’s an excellent pediatrician. She is so calm and nice, cooperative and most of all, she knows how to handle the kids (bare in mind, I have 1, 6 and a 8 yrs old)
I would def recommend them to more people. And also I just loved how smooth they made all the transition for me and the medical transference.”
