Encinitas Family Care - Perry W. Sexton MD

Perry Sexton grew up in Redlands, California where his pastimes
included athletics and music. These instilled a goal oriented
attitude that is reflected in his approach with his patients,
encouraging them to be proud of what they are, but never
satisfied with it. He obtained his bachelor of science in biology
from Sonoma State University. He then attended Loma Linda
University where he attained his MD in 2001. His career led him
to the East coast where he trained in emergency medicine and
family practice at Yale and The University of Pennsylvania
respectively. Since that time he has lived and practiced in San
Diego. He is licensed in the state of California and board certified
by the American Board of Family Medicine, and he is a member
of the American Association of Family Practice. Dr. Sexton
enthusiasm and reputation for encouraging patient education is
well recognized by his colleagues and patients. His several
appearances on NBC morning news in the past few years have
shown his passion for improving community health through
education about lifestyle. His Three-Step Diet Plan was even
adopted by the city of Philadelphia as a strategy to combat the
growing problem of obesity in their community in 2006. He has
published many articles and book chapters within his field.
However Doctor Sexton maintains that his passion for patient
education is best seen in the time he spends with his individual
patients, teaching them with a whiteboard and a marker.

In starting his own practice, Doctor Sexton has made it his mission to offer a new breed of healthcare to those
who have felt either intimidated or disenfranchised by the medical system of the day. He has embraced an
atmosphere that would seem more like a day spa than a medical office. He offers hope to those who have
found themselves overburdened with medications and overwhelmed by confusing diagnoses. He is always
eager to offer understandable explanations, continuous instruction on the changes that can be made to
improve that condition, and compassionate support along the path to healing. Evidence and faith, medication
as well as motivation, are all principles that Doctor Sexton has come to embrace through his broad experience.

In his personal life Doctor Sexton enjoys expressing his creativity in writing and comedy. He hopes to, one day,
perform as a stand-up comic. Until that day, laughter remains his preferred medicine and thankfully there is
still no co-payment for it. He has a passion for the ocean and enjoys surfing in the nearby waters. His family
and close friends have been and remain an amazing and strong force in his life.
