About
Dr. Suzanna Chatterjee, MD, is an OB/GYN practicing in Russellville, Arkansas. She is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG) and board certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine (DABOM). Dr. Chatterjee believes women's health extends beyond internal bodily functions to include how individuals feel, age, perceive themselves, and their confidence. She integrates traditional women's health with aesthetic services, caring for the "whole woman" across pregnancy, postpartum, hormones, weight management, reproductive health, injectables, skincare, and aesthetics.
Her practice offers Certified Nurse Midwifery care, combining midwifery benefits like movement and continuous support with full hospital resources, so patients do not have to choose between midwifery and medicine. Dr. Chatterjee prioritizes a non-judgmental, safe environment where pain control for procedures like IUD insertions and colposcopies is non-negotiable. She avoids painful instruments when possible and offers premedication, lidocaine, and Pronox. Patient autonomy in family planning is paramount, and open communication is encouraged, with no such thing as "too much information." For gynecological surgeries, she uses DaVinci Robot technology for minimally invasive procedures, aiming for faster recoveries and better outcomes.

Industry Payments
Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.
Total received (2024)
$401
Payments
25
Compared to peers
Small
Dr. Suzanna Chatterjee received $401 across 25 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was SHIELD THERAPEUTICS INC.
What this means for your care
- A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
- Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
- Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
- A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

Dr. Chatterjee's primary area of care is obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN). She also offers aesthetic services, including laser hair removal, and addresses related concerns such as obesity and infertility. She specializes in hormone management and focuses on weight loss. Dr. Chatterjee, as an OB/GYN, deeply believes in a model of care that combines the benefits of midwifery with full hospital resources.

She believes patients should not have to choose between midwifery and medicine, advocating for integrated care. The practice maintains a non-judgmental environment, meeting patients where they are regardless of their situation.

She emphasizes that testosterone is critical for women's health. She encourages open communication, assuring patients they never have to apologize for what they share, as there's no such thing as 'too much information' regarding health and wellness. The DaVinci Robot technology enables minimally invasive procedures, leading to faster recoveries and better outcomes for patients. She provides comprehensive care for the 'whole woman,' encompassing pregnancy, postpartum, hormones, weight management, reproductive health, injectables, skincare, and aesthetics. Dr. Chatterjee defines women's health broadly, encompassing not just internal bodily functions but also how individuals feel, age, perceive themselves, and their confidence. She believes healthcare works best when providers collaborate, each bringing their own expertise to support the patient.
