Tiara Payne

My goal is to help patients reach their healthiest selves in a way that works for them. I focus on listening, offering guidance and support, and empowering each person to make choices that fit their lifestyle, build confidence, and promote long-term well-being.

I have over 13 years of experience in healthcare, with the past 5 years dedicated to the field of bariatrics. During this time, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the challenges many individuals face with weight management and overall wellness. My work in bariatrics has allowed me to support patients through meaningful lifestyle change - helping them improve their health, build confidence, and achieve sustainable results. This specialty has truly become a passion of mine, as I enjoy partnering with patients to create individualized plans that fit their goals and everyday lives.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Simmons University in Boston, Massachusetts, where I built upon my strong clinical foundation and developed a deeper focus on patient-centered care and health promotion. I am also certified in Motivational Interviewing, an evidence-based counseling approach that helps people explore their goals, overcome challenges, and find their own motivation for positive change. I truly enjoy supporting my patients on their health journey - helping them feel empowered, confident, and cared for every step of the way.
