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 Gitelman Syndrome. Her top areas of expertise are Coccydynia, Hypertension, Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism, and Familial Hypertension.

Like many, I took a circuitous route to medicine. I studied chemistry in college and thought that I would pursue a career in research or public health. While these areas still interest me, I gravitated to medicine because of a desire to work directly with patients on improving their health and well-being. Through my training, which has included fellowship work in counseling, I have learned that many factors influence health, including relationships and other social supports. I feel that addressing mental health issues and enlisting the help of support systems are critical to feeling well physically and emotionally. I enjoy working with patients of all ages and backgrounds and learn new things from every person I meet. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outside (often with my dog in tow), cooking, traveling, and watching college basketball.

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.

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.

I chose family medicine as a career due to the opportunity to get to know patients over time. Practicing medicine is a privilege, and patients make it a joy. True health and healing occur through relationships of trust in which a provider understands all of the different aspects of a person's life that affect their health. I spent the first half of my career in academic medicine, helping medical students become physicians. As much as I enjoyed this work, I knew that I wanted to spend the second half of my career in direct patient care: my true passion. My husband and I are from the Triangle, so this change allowed us to come 'home'. We have five children, who we adore and who keep us very busy outside of work. We enjoy all things outdoors and you can find us on a sports field/court supporting our kids most days of the week. Dr. Schmidt is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Gitelman Syndrome.

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 Gitelman Syndrome.

I have many interests in medicine, including preventive health care, women's health, adolescent health and managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. I chose family medicine as it not only allows me to provide personalized long-term care to my patients, but I also have the ability to get to know my patients, their friends and family members. Outside of medicine, I enjoy staying active. I hike, run and seek out new trails in the area with my family. I also spend weekends taking in the art, food, and music scene in Durham. I appreciate traveling, but this can get a little difficult as we have 5 rescue dogs of all ages who require a lot of attention!
