Dr. Grobman has been a physician at Advanced Internal Medicine Group, PC since 2005 and has subsequently joined in partnership. His focus is on outpatient primary and preventative care but is fluent as well in inpatient hospital care.
In 2015, Dr. Grobman recognized the need for medical care to be delivered to patients at home who have not been able to get out to their physicians office or those who have revolved between the hospital and rehab setting, home and back to the hospital without reaching their physicians office. This sparked the development of AIM House Calls, a segment of Advanced Internal Medicine Group, PC that brings our diagnostic and treatment expertise to those at home who are in need. Dr. Grobman currently serves as its principle medical director.
