J. Paul Payne, M.D.
Dr. Payne comes to WMC after practicing in Southwest Georgia for twelve years. A native of Crawfordville, FL, Dr. Payne graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Animal Science. After working on a ranch in Montana and trying his hand at farming in North Florida, Dr. Payne embarked upon his medical career. He graduated from Florida State University College of Medicine and completed his Ob-Gyn residency at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, FL. When he is not at work, he can be found at his farm where he raises beef cattle along with his wonderful wife and five amazing children.
Dr. Payne feels entering medicine the non-traditional route and the fact he and his wife have five children allows him to better relate to his patients. His philosophy of “Ladies have been having babies for thousands of years, so let’s not complicate this” allows him to approach his job from a practical standpoint. The joy of hearing a mom and dad laugh with tears of joy at the birth of their child is one of the most rewarding parts of his job.
Additionally, his love of surgery developed from his desire to fix problems with a common sense approach. Dr. Payne believes just because you can do surgery doesn’t always mean you need to do surgery. This mindset allows him to work with each patient individually to come up with a treatment plan that best fits their needs. Dr. Payne feels very fortunate to have joined WMC and looks forward to serving the people of the wiregrass area.
