Dr. Mark D Payson, MD

From our first meeting with Dr. Payson, we felt confident we were receiving expert care. I came in feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed about our infertility experience and Dr. Payson put me at ease from day one. He promised we would have a baby, and sure enough, just a few months later, we are pregnant. I am so grateful we found CCRM and Dr. Payson to help us with this journey. His expertise and experience has given us hope and excitement again, for this baby and for future babies to come.

I am a 47 yo who froze her eggs at age 37-38 with another clinic and had two failed IVF’s at age 45-46 at that clinic. I turned to Dr Payson and CCRM for a fresh start even though CCRM was an hour away from my home in Baltimore and I needed to ship my remaining frozen eggs there. Everything ended up being easier than I anticipated. Shipping my eggs was not difficult and Dr Payson and his staff pushed me along knowing my age and previous experience. If you have had multiple failures or are just starting your fertility journey, I highly recommend CCRM. I now have a beautiful 5 month old boy. Thank you everyone at CCRM.

Dr. Payson and his team at CCRM NoVA are truly exceptional! After having a deeply disturbing experience with another clinic in the area, we decided that we were not ready to give up and found CCRM. We were filled with doubt when we met Dr. Payson for the first time, but he immediately filled us with the hope that had eluded us for so long. It is that hope that ultimately got us through a long, trying battle with infertility. While not every treatment was successful, Dr. Payson always maintained a positive mindset and sought to reassure us without coming across as being unrealistic. He was calm and compassionate every step of the way, and we never felt uncomfortable asking questions. And every other person, from the person working the front desk to the person drawing your blood, treated us the same way. Our beautiful baby girl, Isla, was born last week, and we could not be more in love. We know none of this would have been possible without CCRM NoVA, and we will forever be grateful.

Dr. Payson guided us through the IVF process with expertise, patience and kindness. Despite his busy schedule, he always took the time to answer our questions and give thoughtful advice. Thanks to his persistence, expertise and optimism, we have a healthy 1-year old and three frozen embryos. We also had an outstanding experience with everyone on his team. The entire experience from being greeted at the front desk, to working with nurses and technicians is personalized and wonderful. It's evident that Dr. Payson creates a culture of warmth, kindness and expertise. We are overjoyed with the success he has had in starting and growing our family. We will continue to recommend him and look forward to continuing to work with him.

CCRM & Dr. Payson made our dreams of starting a family come true. We felt totally heard, and in the best possible hands given our tough situation to need to explore IVF. Dr. Payson listens to you, remains a strong sense of humor, and the whole staff is so friendly and empathetic. I can't imagine going through something so intimate and personal with any other practice. We are so thankful for CCRM and Dr. Payson!

Dr. Payson and the staff at CCRM is amazing. His patience and diligence with my particular case produced an amazing baby girl! I am 52 years old and started having difficulties with the lining of my uterus. With the constant monitoring of my hormone levels and the techniques for a successful attachment of the embryo, we were successful. What an amazing and beautiful practice.

Dr. Payson and his team are amazing. CCRM overall is the gold standard in fertility treatments. Dr. Payson really knows his stuff and answered all of my questions. I really appreciated his bedside manner and how I got to see him at every single appointment. He is awesome to work with and cannot recommend them enough.

My husband and I are so grateful for everyone at CCRM NoVA especially Dr. Payson. They gave us a chance to have a family and I can not express how thankful I am for that. The staff are always nice and knowledgeable, their nurses answer any questions I had very quick through the portal or phone call. I would definitely suggest anyone who is planning to have a family to make an appointment.

Dr. Payson is absolutely fantastic - as excited as we are to be pregnant, I'm so sad to leave CCRM! We had a bad experience at another clinic before doing three consults and eventually choosing Dr. Payson. He listened carefully to our story and asked lots of questions. It really seemed like his solution for us was based on our individual circumstance, rather than a cookie cutter protocol. Besides being a great doctor, he has a wonderful bedside manner and a great sense of humor. He works extremely hard and really cares about all of his patients. He is as invested in your success as you are.

We are so incredibly lucky to have been under the care of Dr. Payson and his colleagues. My wife and I have received care from multiple practitioners on the east coast over our years-long efforts to become pregnant—CCRM Northern Virginia definitely takes the cake. This team provides the best medical care and personal attention, a rare combination. Moreover, there are many ways in which a provider can make the process uncomfortable for an LGBTQ couple—from intentional to aloof—but Dr. Payson and every single member of his team never missed a beat. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of fertility assistance.
