from the first time I came in for an evaluation the staff have all been very understanding and patient with my schedule. I now have 3 kids currently in treatment and a 4th that will be starting treatment when I can. The staff all work with me and find a way to schedule all my appointments around my very busy schedule and get all kids in at the same time so I don't have to make multiple trips. They work with financial situations as well as explain the treatment completely and answer any question I may have. I would, and do, recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an amazing orthodontist and staff.

As a woman nearing 40 I was hesitant about Orthodontics later in life. Dr. Payne is so straight forward in his work and discussed all possible options before recommending Invisalign. I have been so happy with the process! I have had them for 18 months and have seen a drastic improvement in my smile. I couldn't be happier! From the moment you walk in the door Stephanie greets you with a smile and the entire staff is always so accommodating. The staff are so friendly and genuine it makes a regular trip to the dentist go by quickly and comfortably. You will be beyond satisfied with the quality of work and the professionalism in this office.
“Dr. Payne is the best! Highly Recommend Both he and his staff.”

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Payne and his lovely assistants! All of the ladies were so kind, caring, fun, and extremely intelligent and knowledgeable about their work. I never had any issues with trusting them completely. Everybody always had a smile and the cookies at the front desk are awesome! 10/10 would recommend, especially for kids, because they really make you feel at home and comfortable.

I've seen dr. Payne since I was a little girl. I came in to get braces to correct the spacing in between my teeth with the intention of one day getting oral surgery to correct my under bite. This meant a lot of office visits, and it didn't take long before i started calling this my second home. The office was very clean, the girls are amazing as well as Dr.Payne! It was personal as much as it was professional. I'm very happy with my experience and two years after my surgery, I am still getting compliments!

I got my braces on in seventh grade and had a relatively bad overbite and 2 and a half years later, every flaw that my teeth had are now fixed. All of the people working here always told me exactly what they were doing and waiting a while to get my braces off was definitely worth it in the end.
“Long wait for now great teeth”

Dr. Payne and his staff are wonderful! They are attentive, friendly, and have provided me with the best care. While having braces isn't the most fun experience, I looked forward to coming into the office and seeing everyone. On top of everything, Dr. Payne was able to save me from upper jaw surgery - which relieved me from a much longer and more uncomfortable recovery after surgery. In the end I have a beautiful smile! THANK YOU for everything Dr. Payne and STAFF!
