Online check in was easy. Front desk was professional and courteous. Megan is a pro. X-rays completed quickly and thoroughly. Thanks to Dr Payne for answering our questions and for the good news/diagnosis.

Explain both shoulder problems so I could understand what needed to be done & the best way to do them. Friendly & professional.

I had shoulder replacement surgery on June 12, 2025. I felt exceptionally well informed prior to my surgery and very well cared for in the period following my surgery. I experienced virtually no post-op pain and stopped taking all prescribed medicines two days after my surgery. I attribute all of this to the skills of Dr. Payne and his team. I have fantastic physical therapists as well and they have been critical to my recovery. Great team!

I have feeling Dr. Payne just does not look like me as a patient. There is no patient to doctor relationship. I mistakenly mentioned a knee doctor to him. He could not stop laughing and treated me rudely after that. I started to report him with his intention hurtful treatment. This was established with the first visit. I tried two more times, just not there. To me he is arrogant, rude and non-caring. I am NOT a combative patient. To avoid any controversy I will find another clinic for my shoulder care.

Dr Payne is an excellent orthopod if you are having joint pain. He truly listens and that is always a positive in your plan of care. I have had two shoulders replaced as well as a knee replacement and Dr Payne's surgery and post surgical treatment has me back and active as ever at 72. He and his team improved my quality of life.
