Alejandra Borensztein, MD, DABOM

Dr. Borensztein grew up in the Washington DC suburbs. For medical school, she ventured to Buenos Aires, where her family is from. She loved spending time with her extended family there and the perspective she gained living in another country. She did her Residency in Internal Medicine followed by Fellowship in Endocrinology at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn.

Dr. Borensztein has practiced General Endocrinology since 2014. She worked in the New York City area until she moved with her family to Philadelphia. She has since worked at Penn Medicine and in private practice. As the years progressed, while she continued to manage general Endocrine conditions including diabetes, thyroid conditions, metabolic bone disease and PCOS, she realized she could not fully treat many endocrine conditions without assisting in weight loss and lifestyle modification. Helping patients lose weight and feel well is her passion, and in 2022 she officially became a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine.

In 2024, she founded Healthy You Endocrinology and Weight loss, a Direct Care practice in order to be able to provide easy access to comprehensive, expert care.

She lives in Philadelphia with her husband and two children. Her family is from Argentina, she is fluent Spanish and loves to watch futbol (soccer).
