About Paul B. Sytman
The practice of medicine is truly a labor of love and an awesome responsibility and privilege. I work with each of my patients to identify their unique strengths and challenges. Then, working together as partners, we formulate an individual plan to maintain and improve their health. I am interested in the screening and treatment for common health issues including high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, anxiety, depression and other conditions. I am also passionate about the assessment of risk for heart disease, stroke and cancer. Geriatric care is also something I am interested in.

Great and open conversation about potentially choosing GLP1s. He was happy to answer all of my questions and we had a really good talk.
Providence Patient
Dr. Sytman is a great doctor. I think his one weakness is a lack of understanding or empathy toward pain. He doesn't want to talk about pain. After I described the arthritis pain in my hands, Dr. Sytman looked at my hands and said, "I don't see any bumps." Then he typed notes in the computer and moved on to a different topic. I felt like he didn't believe me.
Providence Patient
This was a new patient visit. I was very impressed with the entire experience especially with Dr. Sytman who listened to my medical history and he had very good follow up questions and suggestions about my health care.
