About Pepi Granat, MD
Pepi Granat, MD — A Legacy of Compassionate Home-Based Family Medicine Serving Greater Miami, Homestead, and the Lower Keys
overview
Overview and
mission
Dr. Granat has provided patient-centered family medicine with personalized care since 1971. Since January 2025, when we changed to only doing house call visits, our mission is to bring high-quality, accessible medical services to patients in their homes, delivering dignified, comprehensive care to all patients, including seniors, people with chronic conditions, and families who value convenience and continuity. We believe that the best medical decisions arise from understanding patients in the context of their daily environments — their homes, routines, and caregivers. Many of our patients have expressed their appreciation for our change to house calls only.

What to expect at your first visit
Thorough intake and preparation
Before your first home visit, our staff will collect essential medical history, current medications, and any recent hospital records.
Focused, respectful visit
During the home visit, the physician conducts a comprehensive history, focused physical exam, and necessary point-of-care testing. We discuss goals, explain findings, and develop a clear care plan.
Documentation and coordination
We provide written visit notes, coordinate follow-ups, and communicate with specialists or other providers with your permission.
Safety and comfort
Privacy, dignity, and safety are paramount — we bring respectful, HIPAA-compliant bedside manner to every visit.
Why choose in-home care vs.
clinic visits
Convenience and reduced stress
No need for transportation or waiting rooms, especially important for seniors and those with mobility constraints.
Reduced infection exposure
Home visits minimize exposure to community illnesses or viruses often present in clinics and hospitals.
Better context for care
Home assessments reveal environmental and social factors that affect health and adherence to treatment.
Faster intervention
Same-day and urgent house calls can reduce the progression of acute illness and avoid unnecessary ER visits.
Patient stories
A family called when an elderly parent declined to make clinic appointments due to mobility limitations. A home visit allowed a comprehensive medication review, fall risk mitigation, and initiation of a home-based physical therapy referral — preventing repeated ER visits.
After a hospital discharge for pneumonia, a post-hospital home visit performed medication reconciliation, wound care, and arranged home oxygen evaluation. The patient recovered without readmission due to close follow-up.
A busy professional requested preventive care at home due to inflexible work hours. We provided a thorough annual exam, screening labs, counseling, and a personalized plan that fit their schedule.
Quality and
safety standards
- Compliance with state medical regulations and HIPAA requirements.
- Clear documentation and secure recordkeeping for continuity of care.
