Get to know Internist Dr. Robert J. Bloomberg, who serves patients in Tempe, Arizona.

Dr. Bloomberg has been practicing as a board-certified internist for over four decades. He is the Owner & Operator of Bloomberg Internal Medicine, a Division of Premier Medical Group, LLC.

Conveniently located in Tempe, Arizona,  Bloomberg Internal Medicine is able to provide same day appointments, wellness visits, lab ultrasounds, behavioral health counseling, remote patient monitoring, chronic care management, and other services.

Having created a comprehensive care model that is still true today, Dr. Bloomberg’s goal is to help keep patients from going to the hospital, so many key services are done in the office. His son, Dr. Josh Bloomberg, and daughter-in-law, Dr. Samira Zamani, joined the practice in 2019. 

“My primary care practice emphasizes a mutually productive relationship between my patients and me. I believe the most effective healthcare is delivered when the patient receives a prompt response by the physician who knows them best along with the clinical technology that complements close examination and assessment” stated Dr. Bloomberg. 

His MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. He partners with his patients to review and discuss the results in detail and outline a comprehensive plan of action. This process is especially designed to help better identify earlier signs of cardiovascular and other underlying diseases, as to help patients better avoid stroke, heart attack, and peripheral vascular disease.

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Dr. Bloomberg completed his undergraduate education in Montreal. He then earned his Doctorate in Biochemistry at University of Wyoming and completed his fellowship at Purdue University.

Continuing his medical education, Dr. Bloomberg graduated with his medical degree from the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine at McMaster University in 1976. He then performed his internship and residency in internal medicine at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in 1977 and 1978, respectively. He also completed an additional residency in internal medicine at McMaster University Medical Center in 1980.

Board-certified in internal medicine, the doctor is a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Committed to treating each patient with respect and compassion, Dr. Bloomberg has been elected and appointed for numerous hospital staff positions, including Chief-of-Staff at Banner Desert Medical Center and a physician at Banner Gateway Medical Center.

A Fellow of Royal College of Physicians, he is also a member of the American College of Physicians and the Maricopa County Medical Society.
