Dr. Yates is a professional in every way. He listened to my concerns and my extended tummy tuck turned out amazing! I would recommend him to anyone considering a procedure. He will speak realistically and not try to upsell you.January 19, 2026

Can’t recommend Dr Yates enough! I had a breast augmentation done about 6 weeks ago and the whole experience has been amazing. From consult to surgery I felt heard and very well prepared. The staff is amazing too! Everyone was friendly and professional. Dr Yates must be a magician, I essentially had zero post op pain! My results are exactly as I imagined. If I could give more than 5 stars I wouldJanuary 14, 2026

Staff- very friendly all around. During pre op they are very professional. The people you check in with are also friendly. The anesthesiologist is great and the woman who helped with recovery was very kind. The only people who actually could be quite rude are whoever the people are who transfer you to York Yates staff when you initially call the tanner clinic, which I don’t think work for him. Not sure who they are, but they were not good. York Yates - he’s great. He treats you well and knows what he’s doing. Clinic - great atmosphere. Comfy waiting area, lots of parking and they have a separate area where spouses can wait while your surgery is being done. This was a big pro to my husband. Results - look great so far (2 months out). No complications. He Was able to successfully fix tubular breast and difference in size. Post op- they send you home with scar cream, 2 bras, and a band. Looking back, I Would love if I’d had 2 bands, but I do really like that they supply 2 bras.December 17, 2025

I highly recommend Dr. Yates and his practice. He is professional and talented and I feel like he really listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly what I asked for. He was very honest and up front about expected results and I left the consultation with every question answered. He took his time to talk to me about everything and I never felt rushed during the consultation. I had one other consultation at another doctor’s office and it felt like the doctor just wanted to get me out of there as fast as possible. Definitely not the case with Dr. Yates! The office is beautiful and the staff was so welcoming and knowledgeable as well. His nurse Lindsay is amazing! I received a breast augmentation and tummy tuck and I am blown away by the results. I am 3 months post-surgery and everything is looking and feeling fantastic! I got the Motiva brand implants and I love them. They are soft and mimic a natural shape and profile. After 4 kids I had little confidence in the physical appearance of my body and these procedures have changed my confidence level tremendously. I had my first child 18 years ago so to have this new body after almost 20 years is a game changer. I wore a two piece for the first time and it was so fun to feel good in a bathing suit again. Dr. Yates made sure I got exactly what I envisioned and I felt so supported throughout the whole process. I felt I could reach out anytime with questions and I was answered almost immediately by either Dr. Yates or his nurses. Their communication app is great and keeps everything organized in one easy to use app. I highly recommend this office. You will not be disappointed!December 5, 2025

I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Yates and his staff. I had a breast augmentation with lift performed. This was my first experience with a surgical procedure and anesthesia. To say I was apprehensive is an understatement. I was very nervous about the consult, anesthesia, and recovery. All of my fears and doubts were immediately put at ease from my very first appointment. First of all, the office is Beautiful - it’s like walking into a gorgeous spa. I knew from that attention to detail alone - I was in amazing hands. Every experience I had with Dr. Yates and his staff was amazing. Dr. Yates has a wonderful bedside manner, he listened to all my questions and what my expectations were with patience and focus. The 3D mapping during my consult was very cool and really helped me visualize my results and solidify my decision. My procedure went amazingly well and my recovery from anesthesia and pain was phenomenal. I loved that I didn’t require the pain medication even though it was provided. I am about a month out from my surgery and I am extremely happy with my results. I will recommend Dr. Yates to all my friends and family.November 18, 2025

Never thought I would say that I visited a plastic surgeon. However my experience with Dr. Yates made it easy, somewhat panicles and something I will consider in the future. Very understanding staff and great facility. I would highly recommend Dr. Yates for any plastic surgery needs in the future.

Dr Yates is such an incredibly skilled surgeon. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to have him operate on me and I will certainly choose him should I decide to have any additional surgeries in the future. He is kind, caring and meticulous. He is an artist and his art clearly speaks for itself. Thank you so very much Dr Yates and staff!!!!❤️

I went to Dr Yates for my tummy tuck and I couldn’t be more pleased. He is the most amazing Dr. I was so scared the morning of and just didn’t know what to expect. My last child was delivered via c-section and that recovery wasn’t too bad but based off of what I have been reading, most people say that the TT is far worse that a c-section. I am going on day 5 of recovery and so far, I have been pleasantly surprised at how manageable the pain is. He uses tissue glue rather than drains which I believe that, and the fact that he is so incredibly skilled, is why my recovery has been so smooth. Anyways, Dr York Yates is the surgeon you want to go with. Even if you live a ways away, it would be worth it to come out.

I had a breast lift and augmentation done three weeks ago. I absolutely love the results. Dr. Yates was very friendly, and helpful. He answered all the questions I had before my surgery and made me feel comfortable. I’ve gone to see three other plastic surgeons before meeting Dr. Yates, all of which were “too optimistic”. Instead of answering questions, they just said “don’t worry they will turn out great”. When I came to Dr. Yates with my concerns, he understood and he was realistic which I absolutely loved. The day of surgery the whole staff made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. The surgery went very well and the result is so much better than I expected. The recovery was not nearly as painful as I thought it would be. At three weeks post op my scars are thin, flat lines that I am sure will fade beautifully over the next few months. Dr. Yates exceeded my expectations, and I can’t thank him enough. I highly reccomend him.
