Philosophy of Care
Dr. Paul Forman’s approach to healthcare focuses on providing personalized care that aligns with each patient’s unique values, beliefs, and needs. He believes that as a physician, his role is to empower patients to achieve and maintain health by promoting wellness, preventing disease, and educating them about their conditions. Dr. Forman is committed to helping patients navigate the best treatment options that suit their individual health goals. He is skilled in a variety of office-based procedures, including trigger point injections, joint injections, skin lesion surgeries, IUD and Nexplanon insertions, and toenail removals.
Dr. Forman enjoys working with patients of all ages, from pediatrics to geriatrics, and has experience in palliative care, further enhancing his ability to offer compassionate care to individuals at every stage of life.
Experience
Dr. Forman began his career in Alaska after completing his residency and joining the Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center. He later served as a faculty member at the Alaska Family Medicine Residency. After several years in Anchorage, he moved to Seward for nearly nine years before relocating to the valley. Dr. Forman was a founding physician for Solstice Family Care in Wasilla, which transitioned to Sunshine Community Health Center. He is excited to return to community health, a setting that aligns with his passion for providing high-quality care to those in need.
Personal Life
Outside of medicine, Dr. Forman enjoys a life filled with outdoor adventures. He has been an avid musher for over 20 years and continues to enjoy running his aging dog team through the woods, though the runs are now shorter and slower. In the summer, Dr. Forman loves paddling, hiking, and pretending to fish. During the long winter nights, you might find him with a guitar, songwriting, or perhaps humorously "ruining good music."
Dr. Forman is deeply committed to improving the health of the community and is excited to continue serving the people of Alaska at Sunshine Community Health Center.
