Johns Creek Surgeon Named Top Doc by Atlanta Magazine

Dr. Yvonne E. Satterwhite of Resurgens Orthopaedics – Georgia's largest orthopaedic practice – was included in the 2011 list of Top Docs in the July issue of Atlanta magazine.

Dr. Satterwhite practices at the Resurgens office in John’s Creek (6335 Hospital Parkway, Suite 302).

Atlanta magazine’s list of Top Doctors is compiled by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., an established healthcare research company based in New York. Its physician-led team of researchers selects Top Doctors through a rigorous screening process that includes evaluation of educational and professional experience. Top Doctors were nominated by both a nationwide survey administered by Castle Connolly and by licensed physicians in DeKalb, Fulton, Cobb, Clayton and Gwinnett counties who submitted online votes for exceptional colleagues they would send their own families to.

Dr. Satterwhite says of the honor, “It is very rewarding to know that my peers would feel comfortable sending their families to me.”

In addition to Dr. Satterwhite, Resurgens physicians Drs. Erroll J. Bailey, Robert A. Kelly, Kenneth Kress and Douglas W. Lundy were included in the listing.

Resurgens co-president Dr. Kay Kirkpatrick said the practice is exceptionally honored to have five physicians on Atlanta magazine’s Top Doctors list. “All of our physicians take pride in giving patients the highest quality of care, and it’s fulfilling to have that commitment to excellence recognized by a panel of their peers.”

Dr. Satterwhite’s areas of expertise include general orthopaedics, sports medicine, surgery of the shoulder, knee, and elbow and arthroscopic surgery. Dr. Satterwhite completed her medical degree and her residency at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans. She also completed the James R. Andrews, M.D. & William G. Clancy, M.D. fellowship at Alabama Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham in sports medicine.
