Dr Yates is a wonderful and skilled surgeon. I spoke with a couple of surgeons but ultimately decided that Dr Yates experience from working in this industry for so long and his honesty about results made him the best choice. Any time I told someone who I was going to for my breast augmentation they would say, “he’s the best around!”. When I talked to Dr Yates the first time I was willing to pay anything for the best results, but he didn’t take advantage of that or try to upsell me at all. He made suggestions he thought would look best with the least amount of scars and trouble, and it wasn’t all of the extras I thought I needed. And he was right!! I thought that told me so much about him as a surgeon. My results have been amazing, no issues. And Dr Yates has been there every time I’ve needed a question answered or had a concern, he responds via the app right away every time. His team has been great too. I’m so happy with my results and would do it again in a heartbeat! Thanks Dr Yates! Definitely an artist.December 22, 2020

I cannot say enough of how awesome Dr. Yates and his staff are! I was looking to have a breast augmentation for many years now. I always felt scared to go under general anesthesia, and it was the main reason why I never pursued the surgery. I moved to Utah from back east Summer 2019, and decided to research surgeons. Upon reading reviews for Dr. Yates, I immediately set up my consultation. He was everything I hoped a surgeon would be: knowledgeable, caring, professional, humorous, and honest. The fact that the office used local anesthesia and deep sedation and not general anesthesia was even more of a selling point. Dr. Yates answered all of my questions and quelled all of my fears, so much so that I didn't even shop around other plastic surgeons. I knew I had found what I wanted after one visit. Leading up to my surgery, Dr. Yates and his awesome Patient Coordinator, Lindsay, answered any questions I had via the Symblast app rather quickly...like within the hour. After COVID resulted in the delay of my surgery in March 2020, I was able to reschedule on the first day Dr. Yates was back open in May 2020 (Dr. Yates made very sure to get in me ASAP, due to my crazy summer race schedule). On the day of my surgery, I was still a bit nervous over the anesthesia part, however talking to the nurse, Nancy, the fabulous anesthesiologist, Glenn, and to Dr. Yates one more time before surgery, I felt ready to go and totally comfortable. Dr. Yates uses a rapid recovery method as well, which ensures both safety and comfort before, during, and after the procedure. Before I knew it, the surgery was over (best sleep ever!!) and I was in recovery for about 30 minutes or so. Post surgery, I never had to take any of my narcotics...I only took 800mg of Advil every 8 hours. I was only had slight soreness the 2nd and 3rd day, but the pain was very minor. Dr. Yates made sure to check up on me the next day and again, was so quick to answer any questions I had via the App, even on the weekends! Definitely check out his Instagram page, as there are so many helpful (and witty!) videos and posts to make you feel connected to Dr. Yates and his team, and even more assured that Dr. Yates is the best plastic surgeon in Utah. I never had any nausea, vomiting, tiredness, etc. The entire experience was so great from consultation to surgery, to three month check in, that I am going back for abdominal liposuction in a few weeks!! I am so so pleased with my results and from the incredible service from Dr.Yates and his team. His bedside manner, 100% honesty, empathy, patient care, experience, professionalism, and personality are all genuine and real, and you will absolutely not be disappointed!! Be prepared to come back for more!!!November 14, 2020

So far I am 1 day post op from breast augmentation and I already love my results! Dr. Yates and his staff are amazing and made me feel so comfortable. His technique is amazing! I have only had to take ibuprofen and my antibiotic after my surgery. Haven’t had to touch the pain medication they prescribe. He helped me decide on 470cc silicone implants. He gave the best professional advice on what he recommended due to my petite size and very flat chested. On what type, size etc to make sure there was no rippling or other complications and that I get the best results! And of course your surgeon does know best!!! I have nothing but good things to say about dr. Yates and his staff. You guys rock! Thank you so much!!November 4, 2020

Could not have had a better experience. I am thrilled with my results. Dr. Yates is an artist. The office is beautiful, the staff is fabulous, and Dr. Yates is a doctor worth traveling for. I will recommend him to everyone I know!
Fantastic experience! I went to Dr. Yates for a breast augmentation, and the process could not have been easier. I’m only one month out, but I am absolutely loving my results. Dr. Yates and his team did such an incredible job of making me feel heard, answering my questions, and making sure in my pre operative appointments that I would be getting the outcome I wanted. I had zero complications, hardly any pain, and an extremely easy recovery. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Yates enough, and already have to several friends and family members.
I have had 2 breast augmentations with Dr. Yates. The first one (and my first ever) was 5 years ago and I absolutely loved my results. I returned for an implant exchange recently because I wanted to go bigger. True to form, Dr. Yates delivered!! They turned out perfect again!. I’ve received many compliments and couldn’t be happier with my decision, and the work that Dr. Yates did! On top of that, the entire staff from start to finish was attentive, involved, patient, and knowledgeable; from the front desk to nursing staff, to anesthesia through recovery; they put every fear I had at ease, backed up with results. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! In fact, I have friends from out of state who have now, or are planning in the future to travel, just to see Dr Yates, because they were so impressed with my results.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Yates and his team! From start to finish, my experience was absolutely exceptional. I came in for a breast lift with implant replacement, and the results are beyond what I could have imagined. My shape looks natural, beautifully balanced, and perfectly suited to my body. Dr. Yates took the time to really listen to my goals, explain every step, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the process. His skill and attention to detail truly show in my outcome — the incisions are minimal, the symmetry is flawless, and the recovery process was smoother than I expected. I had scars from a previous lift and he thinned those out and made those look even better! The entire staff was warm, professional, and supportive. I felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. Choosing Dr. Yates was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Highly, highly recommend
The staff and Dr Yates were all very professional and friendly. Dr. Yates addressed all my concerns, talked through all the pros and cons, and followed up on any other concerns I had. The surgery itself went very smoothly and recovery has been wonderful! Thanks to all of them! I would highly recommend this practice.
I am happy to share my very positive experience with Dr. Yates. I just had my three week post op appointment for a full tummy tuck and breast implant replacement from a previous surgeon 20 years ago. All through the consultation process, Dr. Yates listened to my goals without having his own agenda. He was very careful to explain the procedures and expected outcomes and he and his staff were quick to respond to any questions I had along the way. The actual procedures went very smoothly, I had a great experience with the anesthesiologist who also explained what to expect in great detail and did not have any negative effects from the anesthesia. My recovery has been easier than I expected and I am happy to report I did not need to use any narcotics. I am very happy with the result of my two procedures and I am frankly shocked at how good my tummy looks already. I highly recommend Dr. Yates. My only regret was not discovering him sooner!
Dr. Yates is an exceptional surgeon. I can’t thank him enough for his attention to detail and the amount of time he spent answering questions online and in person at my consultation. He is kind, patient, extremely skilled and knowledgeable. I had lipo and mini tummy tuck in 2021. He gave me a beautiful and natural result. My scar from the mini tummy tuck is so low and has lightened so much it’s barely visible. I came back this year to have my breasts redone (we found they were ruptured from a previous surgeon years ago). He removed the ruptured implants and removed the scar tissue that had built up. I trusted Dr Yates to chose a size based on the look I had liked and my breasts are PERFECT. Dr. Yates is extremely honest, I asked his advice in doing extra procedures. Instead of taking my money he explained why they would not make a difference in my body type and that I did not need anything else. The anesthesiologist is amazing. Instantly made me comfortable both times. I was nervous and by the time he had me laughing from jokes I don’t even remember falling asleep. The whole staff is great from the front desk to everyone else in the office. Wait times are minimal. Questions get answered through the app instantly. The practice is also located inside a hospital. Overall 10/10 experience, I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Yates to everyone.
Wonderful experience with Dr, Yates. He is extremely knowledgeable and his bedside manner is incredible! Recovery was an absolute breeze and I am extremely happy with my natural results.
I cannot say enough good things about my experience! From the very first consultation, I felt completely comfortable and confident. The doctor was patient, thorough, and explained everything in detail so I always knew what to expect. Communication has been incredible — every question I had was answered quickly and clearly, and I never felt rushed or brushed off. The staff deserves so much praise as well! Everyone I interacted with was kind, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make me feel cared for. From check-in to aftercare, the whole team made the process smooth and stress-free. This has been one of the best medical experiences I’ve ever had. The doctor, the communication, the staff, and the overall care were absolutely amazing. I would recommend this practice to anyone without hesitation.
Dr Yates takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows!! I’ve had 2 surgeries now with Dr Yates and made it through both without needing the narcotic pain medication that he prescribed (I cannot say this about other surgeries I have had). Very smooth recoveries. I’m over the moon happy with my results!! The entire team is so helpful, nice and not at all pushy. I felt heard and was not treated like a number. I highly recommend Dr Yates and his team!
