I love Resurgens. They are so professional. The care that I receive there is over the top. Dr. Satterwhite has helped me with several injuries with 100% cure rate. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Yvonne Edith Satterwhite, and I cannot recommend her enough! Her care was exceptional, and her personalized approach made all the difference. She took the time to break everything down in detail, explaining my condition thoroughly while showing me my imaging and walking me through every aspect. Her ability to make complex medical information easy to understand was incredible. I felt heard, cared for, and confident in her expertise. If you’re looking for an orthopedic doctor who truly goes above and beyond, Dr. Yvonne Edith Satterwhite is the one!

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!

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!

All staff friendly. Loved Dr Satterwhite. She was very down to earth, explained my X-rays, and was thorough in questioning and explaining. I never felt rushed. I will definitely return if needed ( and recommend) !
