DR. PAYNE
Dr. Payne obtained his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Logan University in St. Louis, Missouri in 1992. He has worked on the medical side assisting in hundreds of surgeries, used to practice acupuncture, and chose the chiropractic industry above all.
​
Payne has obtained advanced certifications through Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) and this is what he bases AVANT's practice around. He is a certified Scolicare Provider. Having adjusted patients for over 30+ years, he still comes into the clinic with the biggest smile and enough enthusiasm for all.

PHIL
Phil is our Chiropractic Technical Assistant, and is excited to begin helping patients on the traction tables and with their exercise programs. Phil recently graduated from Algonquin College where he studied therapeutic recreation. He also has his bachelors degree in kinesiology from York University, where he played linebacker on their varsity football team. Outside of work you can probably find Phil doing something active, such as running along the canal, group fitness classes, or playing basketball at Carleton!
