Dr. Maryam Syed practices family medicine at Hartford HealthCare Medical Group’s new primary care practice in Westport. She sees patients beginning in adolescence through adulthood, and is also trained in pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology.
Dr. Syed chose a career in family medicine because she always liked the aspect of taking care of everyone, from young children to parents and grandparents. Her approach to care focuses on preventive care and educating patients on the importance of regular screenings (such as pap smears, mammograms and colonoscopies). She works closely with her patients to understand more than just the medical aspects of their lives.
Dr. Syed received her medical degree from New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in Old Westbury, NY and completed her family medicine residency at UHS Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City, NY.
She is board certified in family medicine and is a member of the American Osteopathic Association. Fluent in English, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi, she has clinical interests in the areas of diabetes management, hypertension, asthma, thyroid disorders, women’s health, hypercholesterolemia and COPD.
