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

Doctor Yates is incredible!!! When I meet with him he gave me facts of what my outcome could be. I finally said ok let’s do it. The result are unreal. I am only two weeks out and I still can’t believe what it all looks like. The results are nothing like he said they could be they are even 1000000 better. I feel great and again only two weeks out. Doctor Yates thank you for what you have done for me and other. There is no reason to even say I will or can recommend you. As soon as anyone sees my results they will be calling you. Your staff is excellent and caring and warm. I loved my experience and can’t wait till I see you in 3 months for my check up. Thank you � you have changed my life forever!!!
Words cannot explain how happy I am with Dr York Yates and his staff. They are very professional and treat you as if you are family. Dr York Yates is not only amazing and confident with his work, he also went above and beyond my expectations! The staff are very knowledgeable with years of experience. By far the best care I’ve had pre and post surgery. As nervous as I was going into this, by the time of my surgery I felt at ease, relaxed, and excited!! Being out of state I would have to say that Lindsay was able to help me through every step I needed to take and was able to answer every question and concern I had. I would most definitely recommend anyone who is looking at getting any kind of cosmetic surgery to turn to Dr York Yates. You will not be disappointed.

Just saw Dr. Yates’ add come through my news feed…I was excited!!! It’s been 6 years since I went to Dr. Yates but, man I can honestly say he is an amazing doctor. I went to a few plastic surgeons that people had recommended and I really did my research. When I met Dr. Yates, even my husband was comfortable with him. My husband is a bio-medical engineer and knew all the risks, medically he had tons of concerns but, was really impressed with Dr. Yates. Funny story though, before I went under, I was wearing an Abercrombie sweater that was pretty snug and I remember when the procedure was done as I was coming out of the anaesthesia, I heard the nurses talking as they tried to put it back on and they were having a hard time. One of the nurses said “what is this, like Barbie size???” ��� I thought it was funny. Anyways, six years later and life is still great! Thanks Dr. Yates.

I had a horrible experience with my last augmentation and lift 8 Years ago with a different Doctor. I met with Dr. Yates 6 Years ago for a consultation to fix me. I came back six years later after more research to be sure of my decision to get this done. I loved his honesty and how confident he is with his work. I just had my Old implants removed and a lift with Dr. Yates last Tuesday. I know it’s only been a week, but I love them!! Dr. Yates, gave me so much self esteem back. I can’t wait to get back to running and working out without big painful beasts. I can’t thank you and your awesome staff enough!! Thanks for fixing my breasts and my self esteem. I will and have recommend Dr. Yates to everyone considering plastic surgery. Love you all!!!

My procedure was breast implant removal. I had a consult with Dr. Yates to remove and replace my implants with smaller implants. I am a very small frame and felt that the implants (I was a 34 B/C) were bigger than what I wanted. I wear an extra small blouse, but it was always too tight across the front, especially with buttons. A small blouse hangs largely off of my shoulders. I just always felt somewhat matronly. Dr. Yates spent a LOT of time determining and interpreting what it was I really wanted. He told me my implants were small and by replacing them with smaller implants might not make me happy as the smallest ones were not really that much smaller than what I had. He felt that total removal would probably be what I wanted. I had really never even considered this alternative. He explained that through the years my breasts would have developed some fat…I would NOT be flat (in my previous pre-implant life I was a 34AA, almost a AAA), and that it might be exactly the answer that I was looking for. He was EXACTLY right. I had the surgery and it was a breeze. I had no pain or soreness and never needed in pain medication or even ibuprofen. Couldn’t be happier! I am now a 34 A/B. Exactly what I wanted. Extra small clothes fit perfectly! I could not be HAPPIER with Dr. Yates! He spent all the time I needed to help me make the decision. HE LISTENS!!! He is a perfectionist. He is extremely professional. He could have just said okay to my request to the smaller implants, charged me much more, and be done with it. I would have not been nearly as happy with the result, and he knew this, mainly because he was really LISTENING to me. I would happily recommend him for anyone looking for any procedure. His staff from the time you walk in the door is top-notch. The wait time is VERY minimal. Everyone is extremely organized and of course most professional. Thank you Dr. Yates and Staff!
