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.
