Dr. William S. Payne
Overview
I was born and raised in Virginia. I attended Virginia Tech for my undergraduate degree where being a member of the Virginia Tech Rescue Squad provided me the direction in pursuing a career in medicine. I furthered my education at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, DC in their Physician Assistant Studies Program. After graduating in 1987, I accepted a position with the E.I. DuPont Company in Kinston, NC and practiced General and Occupational Medicine for a plant population of 2,500 people. For the past 23 years I have worked in collaboration with Dr. Scot Reeg MD, in the specialty of spine surgery providing care to pediatric, adolescent, and adult patients with simple to complex spine issues. As a Physician Assistant I am fortunate to have the time to spend with my patients listening to their concerns, performing a detailed physical examination and developing a treatment plan with the patients active participation in the process. I have been married for 30 years to the love of my life and have two wonderful grown children. In my free time I enjoy exercising, hiking, traveling, and cooking.

I have more than 25 years of experience treating patients of all ages with spinal disorders. I have had an interest in the management of spinal disorders since starting my medical education. I performed residencies in both orthopaedic surgery and neurosurgery to gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire range of spinal disorders. My goal has been to find innovative ways to manage the range of spinal conditions, straightforward to complex. I have a focus on managing patients with complex spinal disorders. My patient evaluation and management philosophy is to provide engaged, compassionate care that focuses on providing the simplest and least aggressive treatment option for a particular condition. In many cases, non-operative treatment options exist to improve a patient’s symptoms. I have been actively engaged in clinical research to find the best ways to manage spinal disorders in order to achieve better results with fewer complications.
