Overview
Melissa Payson, PA-C believes electing to pursue deep brain stimulation surgery is a thoughtful and important decision for prospective patients. Surgery can make enormous improvements in the lives of patients, but patients must also fully engage in the process. The most important part of my job is to educate patients while preparing them for the procedure, setting appropriate expectations, and reviewing the ever-changing technology available. Deep brain stimulation programming is fascinating and can continue a partnership with patients after surgery as well.
Her clinical expertise encompasses Essential Tremor and Deep Brain Stimulation.
Dr. Payson is board certified in National Commission On Certification Of Physician Assistants. Dr. Payson is currently accepting new patients.
