Dr. James R. Fedich Recognized for Patient-Centered Care as a 2026 NJ Top Doctor Dr. James R. Fedich has been reviewed and approved as a NJ Top Doc based on merit for 2026. For Dr. Fedich, chiropractic care is more than a profession. It is something he experienced firsthand long before he ever imagined becoming a chiropractor. His interest began in eighth grade after a family trip to upstate New York took an unexpected turn. A car accident left him with severe back pain and sidelined him from basketball, the sport he loved. After weeks of struggling with pain and limited mobility, he visited a chiropractor. A careful evaluation and his first gentle spinal adjustment brought relief, and within two weeks, he was back on the basketball court. That experience stayed with him. Seeing the difference chiropractic care made in his own life, along with the patients he later watched recover in that chiropractic office, inspired Dr. Fedich to pursue the field himself. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from New York Chiropractic College in 2003, where he was inducted into the Phi Chi Omega Scholastic Honor Society and consistently recognized on the Dean’s List. He was also involved Read More

NJ Top Docs Honors Dr. Alessia Roehnelt for Excellence in Endocrinology Board certified Endocrinologist, Dr. Alessia Roehneltl has been reviewed and approved by NJ Top Docs based on merit for 2026. Endocrine care can be about much more than treating a lab result or managing a diagnosis. Dr. Roehnelt takes a broader view, looking at the full picture of a patient’s health, from hormones and metabolism to lifestyle, daily habits, and long-term goals. As a double board-certified endocrinologist and founder of EndoHealth MD, Dr. Roehnelt has created a practice centered on personalized, evidence-based care. Her approach is intentionally different from the traditional rushed medical visit. She believes meaningful care begins with having the time to listen, ask the right questions, and understand the person behind the symptoms. Her clinical interests span hormone health, metabolic medicine, wellness, and longevity. Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms, Dr. Roehnelt works to identify the underlying factors that may be influencing how a patient feels and functions. She then uses that information to develop individualized strategies designed to support both immediate health concerns and long-term well-being. Dr. Roehnelt completed her Internal Medicine residency at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, where she Read More
Dr. Doreen Hock of Reproductive Medicine Associates of NJ Named a 2026 NJ Top Doc Dr. Doreen Hock has been reviewed and approved by NJ Top Docs for 2026 based on merit. Reproductive medicine is a field where science is constantly changing, and Dr. Hock is passionate about being part of that evolution. For her, one of the most rewarding aspects of reproductive endocrinology is bringing together the many pieces of a patient’s story, using both experience and emerging technology to help create a path forward. What makes that especially meaningful is seeing how quickly the possibilities in fertility care can change. “It’s amazing to see the technology and things we couldn’t do even three years ago,” she shares. “I have repeat patients come back to have a second child, and I’m able to say ‘Okay, here’s what we did last time, but here’s what we can do now.’” Board-certified in Reproductive Endocrinology, Obstetrics, and Gynecology, Dr. Hock has developed specialized expertise in helping women navigate complex reproductive health challenges. She has a particular interest in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL), conditions that can have both physical and emotional implications for patients and families. Her approach Read More
