Dr. Payner has preformed multiple procedures on our son. He is very, very good with the surgeries, has great bed side manors, and explains in laymen's terms what's going on and what needs to be done. Visited every morning and some times on his day off, to ck. on our son, and how we were doing and if we had questions. Would be hard pressed to find another surgeon in this country who has done the things this great man has done for us. He has not wasted the gift that God has given him, and we thank and pray for him every day. Thank you Dr. Payner!

Dr. Payner is not only a skilled surgeon but his bedside manner is impeccable. He removed a brain tumor I had in 2005. Since then, he has been attentive and understanding when it grew back. He gave me all my options to have it removed again 10 years later. I did not choose surgery this time, but he referred me to an excellent radiologist. I trust him 100%

I was very apprehensive and nervous, Dr Payner put me at rest within the first minute he walked in the room. He was very caring and very personable and I have total confidence in him. I wish all the doctors I have seen in the past were as great as he is.

My mother in law had an initial diagnosis of lesions in the brain, and flew up here from another state. Dr Paynor fit her in his schedule with less than 24 hours notice. He sat with her for almost 2 hours going over tests and possible diagnosis, etc. That was a friday. He conducted a surgical biopsy on the following monday morning, fitting her in between other scheduled surgeries. He spent all the time we wanted with him immediately after the surgery. Dr Paynor gave us outstanding service and help. He was very compassionate, he was very professional, he was very clear and concise, and very good. We couldn't be more pleased with the help he gave us, and especially on such short notice, coming from another state no less. He really was a godsend.
