Family Health Center-Montclair: Grobstein Naomi MD

The staff at this office is extremely rude and they have no empathy for sick patients. The nurse hung up on me today! While I like Dr. Khan it is impossible to deal with the office staff so I will not be going back.

I have been a patient of Dr. Grobstein for the last 20 years or more and she has seen me through cancer, gall bladder surgery, pre-diabetes and all the related concerns associated with illness. At all times she has been my advocate, helping me navigate tests, specialists, and second opinions and has done so with care, rationality and compassion. I trust her completely and recommend her without hesitation.

Dr. Grobstein and the other doctor in her practice are excellent. I have been going to Dr. Grobstein since 1990 and over all that time she has been consistently thorough, thougtful and, in her matter of fact style, reassuring. No matter what the primary reason for my visit, Dr. Grobstein never fails to check my record (on a laptop) to be sure my prior issues are still being addressed. This is a top notch practice.

Dr. Grobstein has cranky, unpleasant, manner and does not listen well. After several visits to her, during which she was shaming and critical of my efforts to get help for a painful infection, I ended up going to emergency care setting where I was finally properly diagnosed and treated. Not recommended.

Naomi Grobstein has been the PCP for my family for many years. She delivered my youngest daughter in 1988, and has served us well in multiple disciplines, as we cover both genders and two generations. She is always clear, honest, supportive and concerned that we get the best care. She is not an alarmist, so probably doesn't feed the needs of people who like their medical care w/ lots of drama. Rather, her style is calm and business-like. In particular I like her common-sense approach to staying healthy. When it's time to test and go deep she reaches out to a network of very good specialists. She has been in practice in the area for over 20 years now, has seen just about anything a family doctor can see and is connected within the medical community.
