I’ve wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a suburb of Washington, DC, came to Duke for medical school in 1998, and have been here ever since. I chose neuroscience as my undergraduate major at Amherst University in MA, and stayed with neurosurgery because I was fascinated with the brain and its functions. I enjoy caring for my patients and seeing someone experience a good outcome that positively changed their life. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife, who is also a doctor, and our two young daughters. I play golf when I can, which is not often, and really enjoy cooking. If I hadn’t chosen neurosurgery for my career, I would have gone to culinary school. Dr. Grossi is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in Awake Craniotomy.

I decided to pursue a career in family medicine due to its emphasis on caring for all patients regardless of their age or illness and getting to know patients well. Family medicine also emphasizes preventative care at the population level, which I am passionate about. The health care landscape in the United States can be very challenging to navigate, and I enjoy helping my patients get connected to various resources and specialists so they can live a healthy and happy life. My approach to patient care is providing my patients with the most up-to-date information and allowing them to make the ultimate choice. I also encourage my patients to play an active role in their care, and I try to enable that in whatever way I can. I am originally from Sierra Leone and moved to the United States after high school.
