Roseland, New Jersey
Nova Wellness is the practice of Dr. Jennifer Knight, an internist and integrative medicine physician, and Dr. Chris Di Giorgio, a cardiologist and former Chief of Cardiology. Both see patients at our office on Eagle Rock Avenue in Roseland.
189 Eagle Rock Ave · Roseland, NJ 07068
Who We See
Most patients come to Nova for one of two reasons. Both start the same way: a 90-minute first visit with a physician and testing chosen for your history.
I.
For people who feel well and want to keep it that way. We look for early signs of heart disease, cancer, and metabolic decline, and plan for the decades ahead.
II.
For people with symptoms that have not been explained or resolved. We take the time to look for causes across hormones, inflammation, gut health, nutrients, and sleep.
Testing
A physician chooses from the tests below based on your history and goals, and we order a test only when the result will change what we do. A standard cholesterol panel, for example, does not include ApoB or Lp(a), so we add them when cardiovascular risk is the question.

Some screening tests, including whole-body MRI and multi-cancer blood tests, can flag findings that turn out to be harmless and still lead to more testing. We talk through that tradeoff with you before we order them.
Several companies now sell large lab panels with an online dashboard, and we order many of the same tests. At Nova, a physician who knows your history reads the results with you, and that physician is responsible for what happens next.
The Practice
Nova was founded by two physicians, and both of them see patients here. They share one plan for each patient, so a cardiologist and an internist look at your heart, hormones, and metabolism together. A nurse practitioner, a registered dietitian, a health coach, and our clinical staff work alongside them. Meet the team.

Our Approach
Both of our physicians trained and practiced in conventional medicine, and we use it whenever it is the right tool. We add what a short office visit rarely has time for: nutrition, sleep, strength, stress, and prevention. Four ideas run through every plan we write.
I.
Strength and muscle mass protect your metabolism and your bones, and they help you stay independent as you age, so every plan includes strength training.
II.
Chronic inflammation is involved in heart disease, dementia, and autoimmune conditions. We measure it, look for what is driving it, and treat what we find.
III.
We weigh each recommendation by what it does for your health decades from now, as well as how you feel this year.
IV.
The first visit is long so that we can ask about your sleep, your work, your stress, and your relationships, and consider them alongside your lab results.
Your First Visit
I
We talk through what you are looking for and whether Nova is the right practice for it.
II
You meet with a physician to go through your history, symptoms, prior records, and goals.
III
We order the blood work and diagnostics your situation calls for. Some testing happens in our office, and we coordinate imaging at outside centers.
IV
We go through the results and what they mean with you, and you receive your written plan, organized into five areas.
V
We repeat testing on a schedule that fits what we are tracking, and we adjust the plan as your results change.
In Practice
A woman in early menopause came to us with new anxiety, palpitations, poor sleep, mood changes, weight gain, severe hot flashes, and brain fog that was affecting her work. She had seen several doctors, who prescribed an antidepressant and an anti-anxiety medication and told her she would feel better in about five years.
We treated her hormones and her metabolic health, corrected low vitamin D, B vitamins, and magnesium, and worked on her sleep, nutrition, and stress at the same time.

Some patients work with us through a single membership. It begins with a conversation with a physician about what you need, and we give you the terms and the fee in writing before you decide.

Nova Wellness truly focuses on root-cause healing and personalized care. The team takes the time to listen and creates wellness plans tailored to your individual needs, not just symptoms. I felt supported, informed, and confident in my care, and I've seen improvements in my overall health. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a more thoughtful, whole-person approach that prioritizes long term healing and wellness.

Dr. Knight and Dr. Di Giorgio have created a beautiful, welcoming environment. I began seeing Dr. Knight for HRT earlier this year. Her knowledge and guidance throughout these months has helped me tremendously. During the same time I saw Dr. DiGiorgio for my high cholesterol and preventative heart disease. His concern for my long term heart health left me confident that I was in good hands. As exceptional as both doctors are, so is their staff. Friendly, caring and professional. Various services offered for all your health care needs. Highly recommend this practice.

We are out of network with all commercial insurance plans, and we do not participate in Medicare or Medicaid. Payment is due at the time of service. Many of our services and lab tests may be eligible for reimbursement through an HSA or FSA, so check with your benefits provider.
Your first visit is 90 minutes with a physician. We go through your history, symptoms, prior records, and goals, and we decide together which tests are worth running.
Functional medicine looks for the underlying causes of symptoms across the body's systems. Integrative medicine combines conventional treatment with evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle, and mind-body care. Longevity medicine works to lower the risk of the conditions that shorten life and limit independence: heart disease, cancer, dementia, and metabolic disease.
At Nova, the same physicians practice all three.
No. We work alongside your primary care physician, who should continue to handle routine screenings, vaccinations, urgent needs, and routine prescription refills. We share results with your other doctors at your request.
No. Many of our patients feel well and come to us for screening and a long-range prevention plan.
Fees depend on the testing and care your situation calls for. We go through the costs with you on the introductory call, before you book a first visit.

We started Nova because the appointments we were trained to give were too short for the questions our patients were asking. That is why a first visit here is 90 minutes, and why the two of us work from the same plan. We both see patients in Roseland, and we would be glad to meet you.
