I over dosed in 1999 and was on life support at Mission Hospital. Drs wanted to pull the plug and let me die. Dr Peyton chose life for me instead. Two years later, I returned to nursing and have had a very successful life. Dr Peyton was always available during my times of crisis. He was compassionate and always knowledgeable with needed medications, etc. . I highly recommend him!! I absolutely owe my life to Dr Peyton!
Dr.Payton listens. He offers a safe space for growth, healing and personal development while providing the tools necessary to understand and overcome life's obstacles. Whatever your personal goals, Dr. Payton responds appropriately with specifics tailored to meet the needs of the patient.
Dr. Payton doesn't take commercial insurance and only writes paper prescriptions. He's very nice when he is overprescribing and making you an addict. If you miss an appointment and aren't able to pay his crazy fees(doesn't take insurance) he suggests upping the dosage far above the FDA recommended dose over and over. In 2017-18 he got me hooked on various things. Lost years of my life. Would be interested in talking to other folks that had similar experiences. Eight two Eight Five two seven nine one two nine.
it has been a while, and providing quality health care has never been more of a challenge for providers. Let's just say that I have ever had a psychiatrist more committed to helping me, or that possessed Dr. Payton's acumen with the use of pharmacotherapy. look at his reviews, on the other sites...pretty much 5 of 5 stars. His current and past patients love him, and remember him fondly for a reason. He has his detractors, but if you look closely at his supporters and what he has managed to accomplish over the past 20 years, ... read more
On my first visit, I told him “Under no circumstances can you give me benzodiazepines”. Those were my exact words. After subsequent visits he insists that the class of drugs I’ve told him do not mix well in my system, is the one answer for me. I debated this passionately but considering the depths of depression I was experiencing and his level of insistence, I gave in deferring to his years of experience. Within a short period of time, I was given prescriptions totaling 1200 pills. That’s a minimum of 3 pills per day if spac... read more
Nice person, compassionate. I just have to go in and explain how I'm feeling and the doctor listens, he respects me as a person. He will write prescriptions and give me holistic options I can just get at a grocery store. I'm glad I found him. I feel like I've gotten my life back.
I went to Doctor Payton for over two years and really liked him, but he kept giving me several prescriptions that lead me to feel even more depressed. I went to my primary physician she wanted to know what I was taking, and her words where he has got you on uppers and downers, like the Valley Of The Dolls. I am off of all but one med that helps me sleep, and are doing much better now.
I tried to see Dr. Payton as a new patient today but after waiting 25 m past my appointed time I just gave up and left. No other psychiatrist or therapist has ever kept me waiting more than 10 m. I now see from the other reviews that this is pretty typical for this doctor. If I had known that I might have been more prepared for it, also I would not have unnecessarily arrived 30 m before the appointment (as instructed) which brought the total wait to an hour. Overall I get the impression that this entire practice lacks profes... read more
I left a statement about Dr. Payton and staff and intended on give them the highest ratings possible. So that's why I'm leaving the message. And Thank You Dr. Payton for helping my husband and giving a real chance at have a happy life. Your wonderful.??
