Dr. Yates and his staff are nothing short of amazing. When you walk into his office it feels more esthetic vs medical it's beautiful. I had a medical breast reduction surgery done 18 years ago. With time and a pregnancy I was in need of some reconstruction. I consulted other plastic surgeons prior and Dr. Yates was the only one who listened to my specific needs. His nursing staff was kind, listened to me and helped me feel great about my decisions. The 3D imaging they used during my consults was so helpful in determining what size and projection would be best for me. I loved being able to have an idea of what they would look like on my body before surgery. He performed a scar revision from my previous surgery with a lift and a mini Motiva breast implant. The greatest thing was I experienced NO PAIN!! I couldn't believe it. The technique and skill he uses allowed me to recover better than expected. I had to remind myself not to lift over 10lbs during recovery. If you're looking for the best plastic surgeon in Utah Dr. York Yates is your guy. His staff is wonderful and his surgical team was great. Thank you Dr. Yates you helped me feel better and more confident with myself. I LOVE my results.February 19, 2026

Dr. York Yates and his team was wonderful and the whole experience was amazing! He really knows what he is doing and gave me the perfect boobs I have been wanting for so long! I couldn’t be more happy with the way they look and the things we chose that fit my body best! Also Lindsey was so helpful and always responded to my text through the app so quickly! To anyone getting a breast augmentation I would highly suggest Dr. York Yates to give you exactly what you want with his expertise!February 14, 2026

The thing that really sets Dr Yates apart from other surgeons (in my opinion) is his technique. I am 1 month post op from a drainless tummy tuck with lipo, an anchor lift with implants, and fat grafting to my hip dips. I researched these procedures for years, probably looked at a thousand before/afters, and familiarized myself with the healing process and possible complications. With all my research, I was fully expecting to be super swollen (particularly with the tummy tuck) and to have very obvious, raised incisions that would take a long time to smooth out and heal. I also expected to be in severe pain during the first few weeks. I am happy to say that I experienced none of those things, and I fully attribute that to Dr. Yates’ drainless tummy tuck technique and beautiful work. The first time I took off my compression garment and bra, I literally started bawling because I could not believe how incredible I already looked. My stomach was completely flat, my waist was snatched, and my incisions were covered in neatly glued down steri-strips. When I took the steri strips off at 3wpo, I was astonished to see how smooth and thin my scars were. I anticipate that they are going to heal beautifully. Dr Yates also provided me with several medications for the week after surgery that helped me so much. I didn’t even take the narcotic for more than a day or two because I didn’t need it. I had gabapentin for nerve pain, celebrex for inflammation, and Valium for muscle spasms. I also had an antibiotic to prevent infection. His sweet care coordinator Lindsay also provided me with a nausea patch the day of surgery when I told her how worried I was about throwing up. My breast lift scars are healing so well and have already lightened quite a bit. I got 340cc motiva Demi round implants UTM. They are settling beautifully and I already love them. I had significant asymmetry before and Dr. Yates was able to correct it during the lift. All in all, I’m very happy that I had Dr. Yates do my surgery. It’s been completely life changing for me. It’s been 10 years since I’ve been able to look in the mirror and love what I see. Sometimes I still can’t even believe that this is my body; it feels so surreal. Looking forward to a new, more confident chapter in my life.February 14, 2026

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!
