Alejandro Romero, MD

Dr. Alejandro Romero has been providing dedicated, compassionate care to Hudson County residents since joining Jersey City Medical Center in 2009. As Chair of the Anesthesia Department, Dr. Romero leads the team to deliver superior care and contribute to an essential aspect of the patient experience – minimizing anxiety and relieving pain.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, Dr. Romero is passionate about advocating for all members of the community, including those who are most underrepresented. He regularly lends himself to patients whose access to preventive health care is limited, largely due to language barriers or lack of a support system to navigate health concerns.

Under Dr. Romero’s leadership, the Anesthesia Department has expanded to meet growing needs and areas of specialty. Dr. Romero is a cardiothoracic anesthesiologist skilled in transesophageal echocardiography, advanced cardiac life support, ultrasound-guided regional nerve blocks and central line placement, allowing him to provide the highest quality of care to his patients.

Dr. Romero completed his residency and fellowship at NYU Langone Medical Center and is a graduate of New York Medical College and the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education.
