Paula Josephson-Shulman, MD

This is the first doctor that really listens to me and does not make me feel uncomfortable. Excellent bedside manner and helpful discussions. It is hard to get an appointment but I can understand that so otherwise I only have glowing reviews!

Dr Shulman is a great provider and im very happy to be her patient. She is caring and really cares and listens to your health concerns and shes very knowledgeable. Very satisfied with the care I receive from Dr. Shulman

I have followed Sr Shulman to a different practice because I like her so much! She is patient, kind, and explains everything throughly!

Appointment went well. Happy to have a new provider as my last one retired. Got the test referral I needed and she gave good advice for maintaining my health. Also made appointment for next visit so that should continue my care without interruption.

Best doctor and staff.

Dr. Shulman is a very caring and thoughtful doctor.

Professional and caring

Dr. Shulman listened to me and made me feel very heard and understood. By far one of the best Gynecologists I've ever seen.

I feel very comfortable with my care and professionalism of the Doctor and staff.

Although I always receive excellent care from this doctor, I had to wait 1 month to get an appoinment!

All good

This is the 2nd OBGYN I visited this year. I am a new OBGYN patient. Dr. Schulman was infinitely better than the first dr. She made me feel at ease, answered all my questions and explained all the options related to birth control quite clearly. She was far away better than the previous provider.

Dr shulman is amazing and she was recommended by dr Wei who is fantastic . I now have my familyGoing to both of them

Dr. Shulman is an excellent provider, and I have followed her from different offices over the years. She listens and explains things clearly, she has called me with test results, and I enjoy seeing her. I have recommended her to several people.

Dr. Shulman is an excellent physician - she's kind, thorough and trustworthy.

We love Dr. Shulman! Getting answers about a medical concern from the practice when she was on vacation was a challenge, however.

Excellent care, although took a while to get an in person appointment, not emergent, worth the wait.

Could not be happier with the care both my husband and I receive with Providence/Saint John's. Thank you!

What a sweetheart! It is always a pleasure to see Dr. Shulman. She always looks out for me so I can stay healthy. Thank you to her and her staff.

Dr. Shulman is an amazing doctor! Very sweet and smart

I have been going to this practice since 1978. I have been very fortunate with all physicians I seen over the years.

Dr Shulman was very friendly and knowledgeable, I really felt like she listened and helped me with the issues I saw her about. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with her.

Dr. Shulman is very thorough and takes the time to explain everything. I am fortunate enough to have her as my provider.

Dr schulman is the best. Though establishing care when you have an issue with your reproductive system was very difficult. Even my PCP couldn't get me in to establish care for 3 months. It would be nice if your PCP when providing the office with serious health issues could help get you seen earlier.

Dr. Shulman is a fantastic doctor, I highly recommend her.

She's so nice! Loved her already

Dr. Paula is an excellent listener, and caring person. She's committed to helping her patients.

Dr Shulman was very compassionate and accommodating

Dr Josephson Shulman is wonderful! I wish I had found her years ago!

It took longer to be taken on as a patient for treatment. That said I feel in good hands now.

Dr Shulman and her team are incredible to work with. She was amazing for our delivery and so helpful and reassuring during our prenatal visits. Will be referring her to all my friends for their births!

Dr. Shulman is fantastic, she is the best obygyn I have had and I appreciate how respectful she is and her willingness to answer questions in depth with data as well.The Providence administrators group, however, need work, as many of their phone numbers listed on the Providence website are out of date.

I really like and respect Dr. Shulman. She is easy to talk with, knowledgeable and has been very helpful with the health issues that I am dealing with. I trust her and would feel comfortable recommending her to any of my friends. I sense that the office staff is very busy, but the staff I've met at other St. John's practices seem more approachable.

The visit was pleasant and met expectations.

Dr. Shulman is the best OB by far (is always recommended as one of the best OBs on the Westside). She is a gem. You're lucky to have her. Fix the phone system in the Playa Vista office so that I can call her directly. (If you haven't already)

Love Dr. Shulman! She makes me feel at ease and comfortable being open with her about what is going on in my body. I hate being in a Doctor's office, but if I have to be, I'm glad it is with her.

Office is great. Feels as though they are past the constant stress of needing more doctors

She is so patient with me and is very optimistic. I love seeing her because she respects my preferences and is so positive

I absolutely love Dr. Shulman and have been seeing her for nearly a decade. She's intelligent, efficient and has the best bedside manner.

Amazing doctor, so grateful to be a patient in this practice!

Dr. Shulman is the best doctor I've ever had. Her bedside manner is impeccable and I feel lucky to have found her.

Amazing!

FYI mom groups sing Dr. Shulman's praises. She's been referred to as the best OB on the west side of LA several times. Many many people referred her to me

Dr Shulman is wonderful. I always feel like I'm in great hands with her. My only feedback is that wait times in the room are often very very long.

My OBGYN is compassionate, understanding, empathetic, knowledgeable Dr. I know. She hears me when I'm speaking she actually listens to me. That's how you build trust!!

Really impressed with Dr. Josephson-Shulman. I'm so happy to have found her!

Dr. Shulman is a very nice, knowledgeable and professional doctor.

My doctor listened to me and I will definitely see her again next year.

Doctor was great and staff was friendly and helpful

A very comfortable environment.

I enjoy coming to this office, because I know the Doctors attention to detail is one of best. I always feel safe

She is the best doctor I've ever had.

She was wonderful

I always had a excellent experience with my provider.

Great!

Love Dr. Schumann - she always responds to my lab results on the patient portal - extremely helpful!

Everyone was very pleasant. Everyone went about their duties.

Excellent doctor bedside manner!

My OBGYN was very good, professional and she listened to me and my concerns. Also I was given good advice and I felt that she truly cared about the baby and I.

Dr. Shulman and her team are amazing and very respectful. I would certainly recommend them to all my family and friends.

Dr. Shulman is wonderful and I always have a good experience with her.

Dr. Shulman is an AMAZING doctor and I'm so thankful to have found her. She is respectful, caring, and always listens to my questions/concerns. I cannot say enough positive things about her!

Amazing care from Dr. Shulman and the entire team. Had a wonderful pre-natal experience and an amazing experience in the hospital. We felt very taken care of. Thanks for everything.

My doctor makes me feel comfortable and safe. She is the best!

Dr Shulman is great. She listens and pays attention to all symptoms and is both honest and empathetic. I have recommended her to friends and they all say the same.

Dr Schulman was GREAT and answered all my questions. She was patient and kind and I felt cared for and valued.

Dr. Shulman immediately put me at ease. The nurse who completed my intake also listened with compassion.

Very thorough and gave reasoning for all of her advice such as precautions of taking a certain group of medicines

I highly recommend Dr Shulman.

Dr Shulman is the best most personable doctor. Every visit with her is pleasant.

Dr Shulman was amazing highly recommend. Very calm and professional demeanor despite my constant panic. Always kept me calm and was on top of all medical tests with my pregnancy.

Excellent Dr

Very patient, listens

Dr Schulman is the best! I've been seeing her for almost a decade and she's always been so supportive and helpful when I have questions about my health.

I trust this provider. Have been seeing her since 2015.

Very happy with the care I received and grateful to be a patient with you

Overall LOVED the doctor, just had to wait an hour to be seen. But worth it given the quality of care. Just hope the wait won't be as long next time.

Dr. Schulman was a breath of fresh air after my last OB/GYN. She was kind, she asked questions and really listened, she was informative and helped answer my questions. I felt instantly comfortable with her and really appreciated her warm and professional demeanor.

I have been with Dr Shulman for years, and saw her throughout my first pregnancy and L&D and had the best experience one could ask for during early motherhood. She always answered my nervous questions and made me feel at ease. Furthermore, I had a relatively smooth L&D despite being extremely nervous and I feel that is a testament to Dr Shulman and the entire Providence staff.

Dr Shulman is very knowledgeable and thorough. She's prompt in acting on my medical needs. Always gives enough time as needed in our appointments and answers all my questions.

Dr Schulman & her support team are the best!

I like Dr Schulman a lot more than other doctors I have seen.

Love Dr Shulman

My annual gynecological visit was a smooth and professional experience. The provider was thorough, listened to my concerns, and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. They explained everything clearly and took the time to address my questions. The staff was friendly, and the check-in process was efficient. Overall, I appreciate the quality of care I received.

I appreciate all the support Dr. Has help me with the care and the surgery provide to me.

AT LAST I FOUND AN OBGYN! Dr. Shulman was warm, thoughtful and smart...she knows about Peri and Meno which is essential as I am in that transition, I had a concern about ab pain and she was graceful doing an ultrasound and put me at ease. We learned it was nothing (cycle was 6 days late) so cramps...but I felt in good hands. She will now be my Doc for hormone therapy and all things female, I have gone thru several Obgyns and have been disappointed and angry at the lack of care and intelligence. Finally I have someone I trust. She is wonderful (prompt clear responses to me on Mychart also which I appreciate.)

Providence is lucky to have an Obgyn like Dr Shulman. She really is a spectacular physician

Dr. SHulman is a wonderful doctor. She has incredible bedside manner and is very compassionate. I feel lucky to have her on my healthcare team.

She is wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, and patient

Dr. Shulman is a very good doctor.

Dr. Paula Shulman is knowledgeable, kind, a good listener, and caring. She's the type of medical professional I'd go back to for my Gyn needs.

Dr. Shulman is incredible, have recommended her to multiple people!

I'm very pleased with the care and time spent with me from Dr. Shulman.

I saw Dr Shulman who filled in for my regular OB one visit. She was lovely and professional and knew everything about me.

Always treated with care and concern! Extremely professional and personable. Appreciated that I Was lucky to get in to see the doctor with the holidays!

Dr. Shulman is a fantastic provider. I absolutely adore her. Sadly, her office is run by some not very nice people. I needed to be seen for an urgent matter and was told she was backed up for three weeks. It's usual policy at everyone's office to see urgent matters quickly. I doubt this was brought to Dr. Shulman's attention. I was told to go to urgent care in the meantime. So, she is a fantastic doctor but she needs much better receptionists/office staff.

Dr Shulman is a fantastic doctor, easy to communicate with, puts patients at ease.

Accessible on mychart messaging feature, recommended me medication that works better for my body, advised me on medication interaction, makes me feel safe and comfortable asking questions. Dr Schulman is amazing-- I started going to her based on a patient recommendation, and since then have recommended her to many colleagues and friends

Dr. Shulman is an excellent doctor. Unfortunately she's often over booked but I assume it's cause she's so good. I can say she is always working in the after hours too. She's very good about responding to emails. She works incredibly hard.

Very friendly and best gynecologist I've had and this was my first visit

Paula is a warm person who listens and acts as a team member with your healthcare. She is very knowledgeable and up to date on various procedures.

The experience was all good with explanations of test procedure and knowledge of current medical records.

I love my doctor. My experience while making the appointment with the staff not so great.

Dr. Shulman was great as usual. She has a good bedside manner and is always very thorough and easy talk to and that's why I refuse to see any other OBGYN doctor except for Dr. Shulman. Other office staff at this facility are always friendly and welcoming. But this past visit, the wait was unusually long. It took me over an hour to get out of the office, which triggered a parking fee, when the total time spent with Dr. Shulman was less than 15 minutes.

Paula is a very personable doctor who listens to my concerns and works with me for solutions.

I love Dr Shulman and I would recommend her to anyone

Both the office staff and the doctor were extremely kind and caring. They made me feel very comfortable and I was happy with my experience.

Dr. Paula's pretty awesome, and I trust her opinion. She's very gentle, and she explains what she does, very clearly. Very professional!

LOVE Dr. Shulman! Only issue is that scheduling is sometimes hard to get an appointment in a reasonable amount of time, but that's likely because she's such a great doctor everyone wants to see her!

Excellent care

It was my first time seeing her because my previous gynecologist of decades recently retired. She and her office were very good about fitting me in to see her for an immediate issue. I have a regular check-up with her soon, which will include follow-up on the issue I saw her for last week.

Dr. Shulman is the best doctor, caring, and responsive.

Excellent care.

Very friendly and informative

I highly recommend Dr Shulman, she's very professional and caring.

I am so happy that I was able to include Dr. Schulman in my health care team!

Dr. Paula Josephson Shulman is always helpful and nice to us. I'm glad that she is my doctor.

Had a great experience!

Dr. Shulman and her staff are amazing. Great service and on top of everything.

To be clear, I followed Dr Shulman here because she is a wonderful medical practitioner. I only wish she could provide all my healthcare services. She is kind and attentive, remembers her patients. I feel heard and understood by her. In the past I have had very poor experiences with Providence and I have been on the hunt for a new primary care physician in another practice. BUT for Dr. Shulman, I will put aside my bad feelings about Providence.

She was replacing my doctor because she was not available that week

Dr Shulman is absolutely wonderful. I do wish her front desk staff was a bit warmer. Especially given that women are showing up to this practice pregnant (and oftentimes extremely nauseous in first trimester) a smile or hello goes a long way.

Dr. Shulman was lovely and easy to talk to. I was disappointed in the wait time and that I had to find a nurse to ask when I would see the doctor since it was 45 minutes past my appointment time.

Excellent experiences with Dr.Shulman

Dr shulman was warm and considerate. It took a long time (a few months) to get an appointment but I'm glad I saw her. I've seen some different specialty doctors in the providence system, mostly not great experiences and I left feeling not helped and charged for it to boot, but Dr. Shulman was different in a positive way. I look forward to seeing her again for my next visit.

Dr Shulman is the very best! She has been with me through a harrowing first delivery, traumatic cornual pregnancy surgery and high risk second pregnancy and early delivery. She is always professional and caring and I trust her deeply.

Absolutely love Dr. Shulman! She is compassionate, thoughtful, knowledgeable and really cares about her patients.

The doctor was responsive

She really listened all of my concerns and gave good suggestions for me to follow up on.

Excellent doctor!

Very good experience with a warm, bright provider. Thank you!

Good bedside manner, reviews records beforehand, answers questions, does not rush

Only issue is it took too long to get an appointment for annual exam. First available was about 3 months out from my call. Will call sooner next year. :) Otherwise very happy with the office and doctor.

Dr. Shulman is the most amazing doctor I have been to. She is caring and thorough. Have recommended her to multiple people.

Nice, efficient. Needed a mammo referral and received it. Pleasant doctor!

DR Shulman is a caring professional. I am happy she is my obgyn specialist.

Dr. Shulman is an incredibly kind, patient and thoughtful when dealing with patience. Her bedside manner should be the model for any doctor and I feel very lucky to have found her. Two kids later, I'm just sad I only get to see her only once a year for the most part

Dr Schulman was the most caring and attentive OBGYN I have had. I looked froward to seeing her again and appreciate the time and care she took for me during my appointment.
