Local Resurgens Orthopaedics physician named Top Doctor by Atlanta magazine

Dr. Yvonne E. Satterwhite of the Johns Creek office of Resurgens Orthopaedics (6335 Hospital Pkwy, Suite 302) — Georgia’s largest orthopaedic practice — was named to the 2014 list of Top Doctors in the July issue of Atlanta magazine. 

Seven additional Resurgens Orthopaedics physicians joined Dr. Satterwhite in the prestigious listing: Drs. Erroll J. Bailey, Edward H. Holliger IV, Robert A. Kelly, Kenneth J. Kress, Douglas W. Lundy, Milan Patel, and Steven B. Wertheim were also named Top Doctors in the magazine’s July issue.

Resurgens co-president, Dr. Douglas Lundy, said the practice is honored to have so many of its physicians recognized as Top Doctors this year. “It’s extremely gratifying to be recognized by our medical peers as a practice that provides its patients with an exceptional level of care. Our physicians — both those honored as Top Doctors and those who are not — consistently demonstrate their commitment to excellence through their outstanding individualized patient care,” Dr. Lundy commented.
