"Dr Payne is the best dermatologist in the city of New Orleans! I have been struggling with severe hyperpigmentation/ uneven skin tone since 2017 and I’ve had consultations with several dermatologists in the city but I did not vibe with any of them for several reasons. Dr Payne is very friendly, warm, and she always takes the time to really listen to you. I completely trust her with my skin. For me, she recommended monthly aerolase laser + chemical peel treatments to treat my stubborn PIH and prescribed me tretinoin & azelaic acid. I have only been going to her since September/ October 2024 and it’s January now and I’ve seen SO MUCH progress in my skin. I am more than confident that I will reach my skin goals working with her."
