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.

Well Informed doctor!
Dr. Satterfield reviewed my past history before my appointment, which saved time and prepared him to answer my questions based on my history. He was friendly, on point, spoke directly to me and didn’t beat around the bush. He offered me options for care and prepared me for some obstacles I might face, which was honest and helpful. I did not want to start knee injections just yet and he respected my decision and thoughts. Recommend this doctor!

THEE best orthopedic doctor
Dr Satterfield was amazing. I went in for a herniated disk and or pinched nerve and he addressed and explained treatment thoroughly. Showed me stretches to do that made my back and leg feel better before I left. I will definitely be seeing him again.

Excellent Orthopedic Doctor
I have been under Dr. Satterfield’s care for several years for shoulder, hand, knee, and back care. Not all at the same time :). He does not rush in and out like a lot of doctors. He spends the amount of time needed to provide treatment and answer all of your questions.
