About Me

Welcome! I'm Dr. Sylvia Mann, and I'm passionate about helping members feel heard and supported in their healthy journey. I believe that listening is one of the most powerful tools in medicine. My goal is to provide care that feels personal, compassionate, and collaborative because every member's story matters.

 

Biography

 

My inspiration to become a physician came from the desire to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Over the years, I've learned that the most impactful care starts with listening. When members share their concerns, it's not just about symptoms — it's about trust, understanding, and partnership. That connection is what I value most in my work. Every day, I strive to create an environment where members feel respected and empowered to make decisions that suit their unique needs.

 

About my practice

 

I believe health care should be a conversation, not a directive. My approach is to discuss treatment options openly and help members choose what works best for them. Medicine is not one-size-fits-all, and I enjoy leaning about different cultures and perspectives to better serve members. At Kaiser Permanente, we have an incredible team dedicated to supporting members, and I encourage everyone to find a doctor they feel comfortable partnering with.

 

How I thrive

 

I thrive by exploring the world, whether through travel, gourmet food, or art. I love attending concerts, visiting museums, and discovering new cultures. Reading is one of my favorite ways to unwind, and I cherish time with my 2 energetic German shepherd dogs, who keep life exciting and full of joy.
