As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Satterfield offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tubal Pregnancy: Your OB/GYN is the best doctor to see if you suspect a tubal pregnancy, as this is a dangerous condition that needs careful medical management and might require surgery.
- Breast Cancer: Although specialized oncologists treat breast cancer, your OB/GYN plays a vital role in early detection through regular breast exams and mammogram recommendations.
- Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: Pregnancy can increase the risk of blood clots; OB/GYNs monitor for and treat these coagulation defects to ensure a safe pregnancy and delivery.
- High Risk Pregnancy: A high-risk pregnancy means there are extra health concerns for the mother or baby during pregnancy, and an OB/GYN provides specialized care to manage potential complications.
- Miscarriages: If a pregnancy ends naturally before 20 weeks, it's called a miscarriage; OB/GYNs offer medical care and guidance following this experience.
- Cervical Incompetence: Cervical incompetence means your cervix thins and opens prematurely during pregnancy, threatening your baby's health. OB/GYNs offer various strategies, like surgical procedures or close monitoring, to help prevent this.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Your OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you're experiencing vaginal itching, burning, unusual discharge, or a foul odor, as these could be signs of vaginitis or vaginosis.
- Uterine Cancer: OB/GYNs are key in detecting and managing uterine cancer, a type of cancer affecting the womb, through screenings, treatments like surgery and chemotherapy, and monitoring.
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): HPV is a common virus that can infect the genitals and cause health problems, including cervical cancer, and your OB/GYN can provide screening and treatment.
- Female Infertility due to Ovulatory Disorder: Difficulty getting pregnant can sometimes stem from irregular or absent ovulation; an OB/GYN specializes in diagnosing and managing these ovulatory disorders to help you achieve pregnancy.
- Chronic Vaginitis: Chronic vaginitis means long-lasting vaginal inflammation, often with discharge or itching; an OB/GYN can identify the cause and develop a treatment plan.
- Menstrual Disorders: If your menstrual cycle is causing you problems whether it's too heavy, too light, too painful, or just unpredictable an OB/GYN can help you find relief and effective management strategies.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Satterfield offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- STD Screening: During an STD screening, your doctor will collect samples to test for various sexually transmitted infections.
- Pap Smear: It's a routine test to screen for changes in the cells of your cervix, helping to prevent cervical cancer.
- Open Hysterectomy: Open hysterectomy is a type of surgery that removes the entire uterus via an abdominal incision; it is a treatment for various uterine diseases and cancers.
- Fetal Ultrasound: A fetal ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of your baby in the womb, helping your doctor monitor its growth and development.
- First Trimester Screening: During your first trimester, this screening uses blood tests and an ultrasound to estimate the chances of chromosomal abnormalities in your developing baby.
- Rh Incompatibility Screening: A simple blood test, Rh incompatibility screening, helps determine whether you need treatment during pregnancy to prevent potential problems related to blood type differences between you and your baby.
- Oophorectomy: This surgery involves the removal of the ovaries, which are part of a woman's reproductive system, often to treat certain conditions.
- Amniocentesis: Amniocentesis is used to diagnose genetic and chromosomal conditions in the unborn baby and is typically performed between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy.
- Endometrial Ablation: If you experience heavy bleeding during your periods, endometrial ablation is a potential treatment that reduces or stops the bleeding by targeting the uterine lining.
- Pregnancy Ultrasound: Expect to lie on your back while a technician applies a gel and moves a device over your belly to produce images of your baby during a pregnancy ultrasound.
- Mammography: A mammogram is a painless imaging test that uses X-rays to create detailed images of your breasts to screen for and detect breast cancer and other breast conditions.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Satterfield:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Satterfield, is trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Most OB/GYNs provide care for women throughout their lives.
- At what age should I (or my daughter) have my first gynecologist visit?
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a first visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Satterfield provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. We discuss the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and provide screenings for bone density and heart health.
- My partner and I are having trouble getting pregnant. When should we see a doctor?
- Couples should generally seek a fertility evaluation if they have not conceived after one year of trying (if the woman is under 35) or after six months (if the woman is 35 or older). Dr. Satterfield can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- I'm pregnant. When should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?
- Call our office as soon as you have a positive home pregnancy test. Your first prenatal appointment is typically scheduled for around 8 weeks after your last menstrual period. This visit is important for confirming the pregnancy, determining a due date, and planning for a healthy pregnancy.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. While most breast lumps are benign, any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Satterfield will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years for ages 21-29. For women ages 30-65, the preferred approach is a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Satterfield will advise on a personalized schedule based on your health history.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary medical tool used to assess the baby's growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasounds provide photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but are not typically used for medical diagnosis. These are optional services.
