We offer simple, routine screenings to catch issues early-because peace of mind starts with staying ahead of your health.

Health Screenings

Early detection saves lives. Screenings help catch early issues, before they become problems. From blood pressure checks to routine bloodwork, we keep it simple, stress-free, and focused on what matters most-your peace of mind.

Veteran. Doctor. Neighbor.

Dr. Eric Payne is a veteran, a physician, and a trusted face in our community. After years of working in emergency departments and clinics, he saw Franklinton's need for something different-non rushed, more personal, rooted in connection. In 2020, he opened Southern Internal Medicine Clinic to bring that kind of care to Franklinton. 

Dr. Payne believes in listening fully, treating people with respect, and making sure every patient feels seen and understood. He's not just here to write prescriptions-he's here to walk alongside you, offering care that's thorough, thoughtful, and local. 

 

Because around here, healthcare should feel like home.
