Matt Payne, M.D.

I’m a certified board physician, skilled in internal medicine. Completed residency at United Health in upstate New York. Experienced in geriatrics, sports medicine, prevention, addiction recovery, hospital and outpatient care. Focus on diabetes, hypertension, infectious diseases, aesthetics, and urgent care. Twice nominated for Santa Barbara’s Physician of the Year. Hailing from Murray, Kentucky, raised between Tennessee and Texas. Santa Barbara’s been home a decade now. Partner, a fellow physician, met in school two decades past. Blessed with two daughters. Fine mentors and opportunities paved my medical path. Now, I lead a nonprofit aiding COVID-19-stricken, deconditioned seniors, and low-income patients, through fall-preventing exercise programs.
