Our history

Started in a Ridgewood living room. Still independent.

Bergen Hypertension and Renal Associates is a premier private nephrology practice, established by a solo practitioner in 1971 in his residence in Ridgewood, NJ. Over the last 50 years it has expanded to a six-physician practice with five dialysis facilities and two hospital affiliations in Bergen County.

What has not changed is the way care is delivered: you see the same physicians, in the same office, across the full arc of kidney disease — from a first abnormal lab result through dialysis and transplant.

Expertise & services

Six areas of care, under one roof.

Nephrology covers a wide range of conditions. Here is what we treat, and what each area involves.

Hypertension

Blood pressure that stays high over time is one of the leading causes of kidney damage — and one of the most treatable. We look for the cause, not just the number, and build a plan around it.

What this covers

Kidney Disease

From a first abnormal lab result through advanced chronic kidney disease, our focus is on slowing progression and keeping you ahead of the disease rather than behind it.

What this covers

Dialysis

Our physicians care for patients across five DaVita dialysis facilities in Bergen County, and prepare patients well before the first treatment is needed.

What this covers

Transplant

Timing is everything with transplant. We refer early, coordinate the evaluation, and stay with you long after the surgery.

What this covers

Kidney Stones

Passing one stone is painful. Passing them repeatedly is a metabolic problem — and usually a solvable one.

What this covers

Anemia

Anemia is one of the most common complications of kidney disease, and one of the most noticeable once it is corrected.

What this covers

Our physicians

Five nephrologists. One practice.

Board-certified in nephrology and internal medicine, trained at Einstein, NYU, Johns Hopkins, Mount Sinai and Thomas Jefferson — and practicing together here in Paramus.
