      I chose a career in family medicine because I enjoy providing preventative health care and disease management to all ages. My approach to patient care is that of a partnership. I advise patients that my role as a primary care physician is to educate patients on current evidence-based guidelines for preventative health and for disease management. I want to ensure that patients are able to make an educated decision regarding their health care. My ideal vision of family medicine includes providing care to three generations, where I am the primary care provider to the grandparents, the parents, and the children. Understanding the dynamics of three generations of a family allows me insight into family medical history, family social dynamics, and family emotional stressors. This insight enhances my medical decision making for each individual in the family. I am married and have two children. We have two rescue dogs who keep us very busy. I spend most of my time outside of work with my family. I do prioritize exercise for my personal health maintenance. Dr. Smith is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Sitosterolemia. Her top areas of expertise are Sitosterolemia, Premature Ovarian Failure, High Cholesterol, and Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism.

      I have been honored to have spent my entire career, since completing my residency in 1986, working in the wonderful and diverse community of Hillsborough. Family medicine was a perfect career choice for me. I love the long-term relationships with patients of all ages. I particularly enjoy women's health, and I have grown fond of geriatrics, as the patient population I care for is aging. Outside of medicine, I have three young adult children and a great husband. I am a competitive masters swimmer, a cyclist, a triathlete, and I like to cook and read. Dr. Satter is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Sitosterolemia.

      It is the diversity of individual human experiences, backgrounds, ethnicities, and belief systems that led me to family medicine. My own background is Korean-American. My parents are both immigrants from South Korea. I was born and grew up in the United States. I went to college in New York and then spent two years with the Peace Corps in Burkina Faso. My medical training included deeply memorable experiences from rotations through the Indian Health Service in Arizona to riding small planes to villages in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta of Western Alaska. Prior to coming to Duke, I worked in rural North Carolina. I see patients of all ages from newborn to end of life care. My interests include preventive medicine, women’s health, maternal child health and international health issues. My husband is an anthropologist and we have two young children.

      I’ve always enjoyed interacting with people, and I feel like it is a privilege to care for them at this level. I take pride in the fact that I can usually make people feel very comfortable. I also feel that as a physician I am able to empower my patients to take care of themselves. It’s a group effort. I really enjoy seeing children. I probably have one of the bigger pediatric populations in my practice. I enjoy seeing families and watching kids grow up. Before I started here, I was in private practice in Florida for more than five years. My wife and I moved back to the area when she was pregnant with our first child, because this is the area in which we wanted to raise a family. It’s a wonderful place for young families and children.

      Creating long-term relationships with families has been my goal for my primary care practice. I enjoy being able to see multiple family generations. These relationships provide insight into the challenges that family members have when dealing with medical issues. They also tend to provide clues to obstacles that may impede a patient's ability to have or maintain their wellness. I am thankful that I have been allowed the opportunity to work for Duke in my home county of Alamance. Although I love to travel, coming home to family and friends is where my heart belongs. I enjoy living in the community with my patients. My patients are not just patients, but are the people in my community that meet me in the grocery store, fix my car, cut my hair, and teach my kids. They are important people in my life and I desire to see their health thrive. Dr. Aldridge is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Sitosterolemia.

      What is the definition of Sitosterolemia?

      Sitosterolemia is a condition in which fatty substances (lipids) from vegetable oils, nuts, and other plant-based foods accumulate in the blood and tissues. These lipids are called plant sterols (or phytosterols). Sitosterol is one of several plant sterols that accumulate in this disorder, with a blood level 30 to 100 times greater than normal. Cholesterol, a similar fatty substance found in animal products, is mildly to moderately elevated in many people with sitosterolemia. Cholesterol levels are particularly high in some affected children. However, some people with sitosterolemia have normal cholesterol levels.

      When should I see a Sitosterolemia doctor near Hillsborough, NC?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing a Sitosterolemia doctor near Hillsborough, NC?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Sitosterolemia doctors near Hillsborough, NC?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Sitosterolemia doctors near Hillsborough, NC?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with a Sitosterolemia doctor near Hillsborough, NC?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Sitosterolemia doctor search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Sitosterolemia doctor?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with a Sitosterolemia doctor near Hillsborough, NC?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Sitosterolemia doctor?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Sitosterolemia doctor may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Sitosterolemia doctors near Hillsborough, NC?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Sitosterolemia doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find a Sitosterolemia doctor that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Sitosterolemia doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
