I thought Dr. Paynter was great! Since I was a previous patient at SSM Hospital, I decided to do research of the clinic at Tipton. I came to the clinic to get to know the doctor and staff. Since my past health history, it has been a concern for me to select either a doctor or a nurse practitioner, I chose Dr. Paynter. To be honest I have never been a fan of nurse practitioners but if a doctor is not available, I will see a nurse practitioner.

I have a serious bacterial infection going on, and he took the time to see me and follow up with me and make sure I was taken care of

Unfortunately Dr Paynter is overworked and needs another doctor or nurse practitioner to assist in the workload. Oftentimes when we are sick and need a quick appointment we are not able to get in timely. This should not happen to established patients. However, I have always felt him has given ample time during my appointment and we would hate to lose him.

Dr paynter does a great job every time that I go to him for anything. I do have trouble getting in to see him anytime that I am sick. I call up there for an appointment and can’t get in. It’s taken me a week or two to get in for anything. If I’m too sick I just have to go to urgent care

Dr. Paynter knows his stuff and explains things in terms I . I feel comfortable and cared for with SSM Health and Dr. Paynter.

Dec 20, 2024
He was extremely disrespectful, uncaring, hostile and made me very upset. After about ten years of seeing Dr Paynter I'm now switching to a new doctor. I don't ever want to be seen by him again. He basically called me fat and dismissed everything I tried to talk to him about. It was all because of my weight.
