Veterinarian
Dr. Payton is often seen down on exam room floors with his patients or listening attentively to clients, many of whom become friends. He graduated from Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 and yet his philosophy is still that the customer comes first, and that we as veterinarians need to be closely bonded with the little ones under our care.
Surgery and canine reproduction are Dr. Payton?s key interests in practice. He is a member of the Society of Theriogenology, and he sees the majority of the reproductive work at Harmony Veterinary Clinic together with Dr. Todd. Dr. Payton enjoys all aspects of veterinary practice, especially annual visits with his patients and their families!
Dr. Payton?s hobbies revolve around his family, including model train work with his son, Erik, hiking and snowshoeing, and being a “barn dad” for his daughter Katrina. He is a longtime rider himself, and will be back in the saddle again as soon as they find a Western saddle to fit his son?s palomino Paint horse, Quinn! He is especially proud of his daughter, Emily, who has recently received her nursing degree. Of course, he still enjoys mowing on summer days with his headset on.
