Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Payson was raised in Framingham, MA. He graduated with his DVM from Iowa State University in 1980. After experiencing the bitter cold winters of MA and IA, he decided to relocate to Southeast Florida. At the end of 1984, he opened Boca Grove Animal Hospital in Boca Raton, FL. Shortly after, he opened a second practice, Boca North Animal Hospital. Once Dr. Crance graduated, Dr. Payson hired him as an associate and they worked together until 1998. At this time, Dr. Payson sold both practices in order to spend more time with his wife and two children. In 2001, Dr. Payson and Dr. Crance became partners and opened Riverside Animal Hospital in Coral Springs, FL.
