Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Professional, Friendly, and Thorough
I have seen Dr Satterwhite for two different injuries and her examinations and explanations of my injuries were very clear and thorough. She used visual aids to show me the biology of my injury and was very clear on next steps to treat it. She treats her patients with friendliness and respect. I highly recommend her!

Probably the best in her field locally.
My chiropractor recommended her, and both my neighbors on either side of me also had her as their Orthopedic Specialist. I asked if we could get a “group discount”. She laughed. She was very personable and explained it in laymen’s terms that even a poor dumb architect could understand. :)I’m sad that she is retiring. Wouldn’t want to see anyone else!

Simply Outstanding Professional.
She listened to every detailed concern we had. Took the time to verify the feelings. Then she outlined the possible conditions. She ordered an MRI to confirm her diagnosis and set an appointment to review the recommendations. My daughter and I left feeling this was the most complete exam we had ever experienced. She answered every question and taught a class on the shoulder and how it relates to my situation. We are so blessed to have had this experience.

Extremely pleasant caregiver
I have seen a number of Doctors for my sport injuries. I have not seen any specialist practitioner as compassionate and pleasant than Dr. Satterwhite. This was extremely helpful, as I was in pain. Her diagnosis was detailed and pleasant. She kept reassuring of recovery, while detailing out the path. Highly recommended

Always up-to-date and explains well
I have enjoyed working with Dr. Yvonne Satterwhite for about two years now. I have also spoken to a couple of other orthopedic surgeons at other locations. But, Dr. Satterwhite has impressed me with her depth of knowledge and how she continues to keep up-to-date on the latest thoughts in her practice area. While surgery on my knee will probably be required in the future, we have been able to delay it for a couple of years using other solutions and that is very good.

Very happy
The new facility is very nice, and parking so much easier. I was told when I arrived early, that Dr. Satterwhite was running late. I was seen pretty much on time, so not as late as they anticipated. I’ve seen her before and as always, she was very pleasant and thorough. I highly recommend them.

Exceptional Doctor!
I had a knee procedure done by Dr. Satterwhite last year on a knee injury I had years ago, and then recently just got a check up on my other knee for som concerns I had. Very knowledgeable doctor I would trust. Dr. Satterwhite explains concepts clearly, listens to concerns, and helps set up a plan to support better health.
