My memory of Doctor Grossman is one of a doctor who, no matter how odd or baffling my ailment, he would always listen and then offer me suggestions.This is just a quick note simply saying thank you Doctor.

Dr. Grossman was our Doctor from the time he practiced in San Bruno until his retirement from his practice in San Mateo. He was a very caring and excellent Doctor as well as a good man. We were sorry to read of his death in the SF Chronicle.
Sincerely, Tom & Carole Bridgman

After selling a piano to Dr. Grossman, he became my doctor for many years. He also was the best doctor I ever had. May he rest in peace after his long illness.

I first met Peter in 1964 when we had a tennis match as Freshmen in college at rival schools. He whipped me badly (although I did get revenge the next year despite Peter being the superior player). We became close friends when he moved to San Francisco. He was a fabulous friend and a fabulous doctor. Who else would have allowed a patient to be dropped at his house, diagnosed with an infection, taken to the pharmacy to pick up antibiotics and then driven to the patient's home? He is sorely missed by many of us.

The best Dr. I ever had. Jack Ford, Menlo Park, CA. We always talked together of world affairs. Even during the time when they required the use of a lap top computers to record and document our appointments. He just put up with it even though he didnt embrace it.
