Eduardo Montero Berges

Medical schools in North Jersey don’t always advertise their presence. Eduardo Montero Berges operates quietly along the riverfront, where the Palisades meet the Hudson County grid. The program occupies a low-slung building at 7600 River Rd, North Bergen, NJ 070476217—an address that places it just off the main commercial strip but still within walking distance of bus stops and diners.

Students here navigate the standard four-year curriculum, though the school’s proximity to New York City hospitals can mean more clinical rotations across state lines. The location also pulls in a mix of commuters from Bergen and Hudson counties, plus a few who cross the river from Manhattan. That daily migration gives the place a transient feel, one that mirrors the broader rhythm of medical training.

Anyone trying to reach the admissions office or confirm a campus visit can dial (201) 854-5000. The line is usually answered during weekday business hours, though messages left after hours are typically returned within a day or two. No appointment system is posted online, so a quick call ahead is the safest bet.

Directions are straightforward if you’re coming from the Turnpike or Route 495; the map here will drop a pin right on the entrance. The surrounding blocks are mostly light industrial and small apartment buildings, so street parking is hit-or-miss on weekdays.
