“Fantastic”
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.

“Dr. Payne is the best! Highly Recommend Both he and his 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.

“absolutely worth the money and time.”
I am so pleased with how my daughters teeth turned out. Dr. Payne is a perfectionist and I am so grateful. His office staff is professional, kind, helpful and informative. Both of my children have benefited from his detailed work.
