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
