Deborah Sylvester, NP, Rhematology

As a primary care physician, I love having an opportunity to make a difference in my patients' lives. Family medicine offers a unique opportunity to help patients of all ages, and it's gratifying to watch the effect I can have on patients over a long period.When you're my patient, I make sure you have a voice and are heard, whether you're talking about ailments or health care goals. My focus is to keep you healthy-physically and mentally.I went to UVM for my undergraduate and medical degree before completing my residency at St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Utica, N.Y. I am thrilled to return to Vermont and do my part to keep my fellow Vermonters happy and healthy.
