Surgery and follow on information was great!
Feb-2025
Dr. Payne was very attentive to my explanation of my issue and carefully checked out my mobility and pain levels. He patiently gave me good advice and information on what I can and cannot continue doing in my personal training sessions. I appreciate he gave me a picture of my x-ray and patiently explained what was going on with my shoulder and future expectations.

Dr. Payne has an excellent bedside manner and that matters to me very much. He was patient with me and explained the procedure I will be undergoing later this year. His explanation was provided in a manner that I could easily understand. He spent a considerable amount of time advising me of the recovery protocols and how long I should expect to be in a rehabilitative state. Ultimately I walked out of the clinic fully informed of all relevant information related to my upcoming procedure. Very happy client.
