Dr Payne is an exceptional doctor. He takes the time not only to listen carefully about the patients and families questions but to also give down to earth explanations of the reason for patients conditions. I felt much more able to help with Ken's care after the visit with Dr Payne.

Dr Payne was very personable, he listened and most importantly asked relevant questions regarding my case as it was very confusing. He was able to take what the other referral facilities had said about my case and what I relayed to him and turn it into a cohesive narrative that I could understand. So now we have a clearer understanding of where my case confused the other facilities.
