5.0 star star star star starDr. Payne unfailingly responds to every question with detailed explanations relevant to my medical concerns. He is particularly skilled at elucidating pros and cons of suggested treatments and outcomes, not over-promising (with respect for the complexity of the situation and possible complications), but rather offering positive encouragement for the agreed upon treatment decision. His attitude and actions inspire confidence.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Payne is the center of the team as the surgeon, of course, and as such he sets the standard of medical expertise and also of communication with the patient. As far as my understanding allows me to make this judgment, and up to this point, I could not ask for better care for this particular serious injury than I have received from Dr. Payne.

5.0 star star star star starHe told me what he thought the problem was but listened to me when I said that maybe we should get an MRI & had me get one! One problem was the continuing pain & having to wait for a week to get the MRI & another week to see the Dr.
