“As an orthodontist, I have the opportunity to create lifelong relationships with patients and families. Because we are observing and treating patients over the years, the relationships are quite special.
I chose orthodontics as a career because it brings me so much happiness to help a person find his or her smile. My favorite moment is when we remove a person’s braces and they see their new smile for the first time. The confidence a healthy, straight, and beautiful smile can bring to a person is a blessing to witness!
Growing up, I knew I wanted to be in the healthcare field because I wanted to help others. I also had family in the business — my mother is a general dentist and my father and grandfather both orthodontists — so I was always around oral healthcare. I saw how much my parents enjoyed helping people find smiles they loved, and how they valued the relationships with their patients. This is an amazing field and I feel fortunate to be part of it!”
A Santa Rosa native, Dr. Jacqui Payne has lived in the community her whole life, except while away at school.
She attended Georgetown University, where she completed a Bachelor of Science in human science. She obtained her Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, and graduated as a member of Tau Kappa Omega Honors Society. Continuing at the UOP School of Dentistry, Dr. Payne completed her orthodontic residency and received her orthodontic certificate and Master of Science.
In addition to being board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, Dr. Payne is an active member of the:
Through these organizations, Dr. Payne has access to numerous opportunities to expand her knowledge and stay at the forefront of the latest developments in the orthodontic specialty.
Currently, Dr. Payne’s continuing education (CE) interests focus on screening for sleep apnea, miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expanders (MARPE), and clear-aligner orthodontic treatment. Immersing herself in CE ensures that Dr. Payne provides her patients with the best of modern orthodontics and predictable, beautiful results.
Dr. Payne’s Bernedoodle puppy, Indie, is her constant companion who sometimes makes a guest appearance at the office. Much of her free time is spent with her boyfriend Michael, a third-generation dentist currently practicing alongside her mother, Dr. Leslie Jue, in Santa Rosa.
The couple enjoys being outdoors: camping, backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, and skiing are among their favorite pursuits. They’ll be conquering Mt. Whitney this year!
On a personal note, Dr. Payne is passionate about understanding cultures different from her own. Everyone comes from unique backgrounds, and Dr. Payne believes that by traveling and immersing oneself in others’ experiences, we can be more understanding and accepting of each other.
Toward this end, she recently participated in a dental outreach trip to the Philippines. There, she and other volunteers provided dental education as well as treatment to elementary-aged children.
Best Orthodontist in Sonoma County! For those seeking out orthodontics for either adults or children, this is the place to go. Their attention to detail and thoroughness was quite impressive. They spent the extra time creating multiple treatment plan options specifically catered to my case and answered all my questions. They even have a dog that hangs out at the office making you feel at ease.
Friendly staff and experienced doctors. They tell the truth rather than just try to sell their services!! My son needs work in 2 years and they didn’t try to make it happen now. I really appreciate that honesty. Very happy with them!!!
My experience with Dr. Payne and his staff exceeded my expectations. It was simply a consultation to determine if I was even a candidate for braces; and yet the care and attention which everyone demonstrated was notable. Dr. Payne’s knowledge and candid communication style gave me a lot of confidence.
Dr. Payne services are amazing! The overall feel of that place is very positive, kind and helpful to meeting your need(s). The services provided are excellent and detailed oriented. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Payne Orthodontics to everyone!
Dr. Payne and his amazing staff always makes sure I feel at home when I come in. He definitely works with you to make sure you get what your looking for.I definitely recommend him and his lovely stuff. They are very clean and they are updated with everything that’s going on. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
The office staff is very professional as well as friendly. My appointments have always been on time. Dr. Payne is very friendly and thorough. My experience with this office has been great and I would highly recommend them to friends and family.
Friendly staff! My teeth are getting straighter all the time, and no one knows I’m wearing Instaliners unless I tell them. So much more comfortable than metal bands and wires. I did that in my youth and I still remember the discomfort. Years later, my teeth migrated out of line. Dr. Payne is setting them straight (literally).
Super friendly, knowledgeable, and amazing doctors and staff. Great technology (3D x-rays and digital treatment plans). The office is clean and inviting, and they have super friendly and cute hypoallergenic dogs. 😊 No complaints whatsoever! …
