Dr. James R. Fedich Honored as a 2025 NJ Top Doctor Dr. James R. Fedich, a licensed chiropractic physician, has been named a 2025 NJ Top Doctor for his exceptional commitment to helping patients overcome chronic pain and achieve optimal health.

Inspired by this healing journey and the remarkable recoveries he witnessed in that chiropractic office, he went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from New York Chiropractic College in 2003. There, he was inducted into the Phi Chi Omega Scholastic Honor Society, consistently named to the Dean’s List, and was actively involved in the Student American Chiropractic Association and the Sports Science and Human Performance Club.
