Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rescheduled Multiple Times
He is a fine doctor when you can see him but he canceled multiple times and did not offer alternate slots at the same time of day so he ended up pushing my appointment out for months and I had ultimately to look for another provider.

I'm very happy with Dr. Paine! I've been seeing him for 4 years (2 "semi-annual' exams as well as one urgent visit for a terrible yeast infection and one for a colposcopy after an abnormal Pap w/HPV). He's always very sweet & gentle with a calming presence and (an appropriate) sense of humor. He's attentive, always takes the time to stop & answer my questions, and never rushes me. He's even called me after hours w/test results. He's knowledgable of my unique circumstances & feel I can trust him.

I feel like Dr. Paine hears what he wants to hear and is quite hypocritical. I felt zero sympathy/empathy from him. The worst times of my life that should be the happiest. I truly wish there were more options in the area.

I have been a patient of Dr. Paine's for several years now and have found him to be a very personable and competent doctor. His nursing staff is excellent as well.

I had a great experience with Dr. Payne. He listened to me, looks at all my test results, explained next steps and answered questions for both me and my husband. I felt he was very empathetic, thoughtful and professional in his diagnosis and easy to talk to. The waiting time was over a half hour but many doctors' office do have a wait time. I never felt rushed and his staff was very competent and polite.

I found Dr. Paine to be very late every appointment I had, He laughed at me when I was explaining my symptoms which made me cry, He was quick when evaluating me and didn't take his time explaining anything. I also brought up conditions to him, when He had no ideas. I feel it's a guessing game with Dr. Paine and if He took his time and was on time more he would be a better doctor. His lack of empathy towards women is low. Also he should't assume everyone in pain is a drug addict.
