Steven Abram, MD - STMP Howell Allen Clinic-Harding

At Southern Kidney Specialists, our board-certified nephrologists look forward to restoring kidney health every day. We are the 2nd largest nephrology private practice in Middle Tennessee with offices located in Nashville, Franklin (Cool Springs), Hermitage, Murfreesboro, and McMinnville. We make our comprehensive care easy to access through prompt scheduling and even accommodate same day urgent appointments. We accept most insurances plans. We choose physicians to join our practice who truly enjoy spending time with patients. Our doctors understand that questions about your health can pop up anytime and not just at your appointment.

Dr. Payne offers a different approach to primary care with conveniences like same/next-day appointments that start on time and a focus on preventive medicine. Her MDVIP-affiliated practice is open to new patients, including Medicare and commercially insured, in Nashville. Dr. Payne sees fewer patients, which means she has more time to offer. Similar to concierge medicine physicians, Dr. Payne is available 24/7 by phone. Her practice offers the MDVIP Wellness Program, which includes advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that have been shown to help detect issues earlier.
