Yates, York MD is rated 5.0 out of 5.0 based on 675 ratings.
I was 12 the first time I asked my mom for a breast augmentation. Silly, I know, but; all of my friends were developing and I just wasn't. As a result I was heavily picked on, I was tall, skinny, and flat as a pancake. When I finally started to develop my hips developed a lot better than my breasts. I was absolutely convinced I looked like a pear and hated it! However, I did modeling and beauty pageants as a teen and that greatly helped my self-esteem, yet still; I wasn't 100% comfortable with my appearance. Oddly enough, I felt the best about my appearance when I was nursing my daughter, despite the "mommy pooch." I was informed after I had my daughter that I had developed diastatis recti (the separation of abdominal muscles) and despite my best efforts I would always have the mommy pooch. My daughter was 10 when I woke up and decided that I was tired of hating what I saw when I looked in the mirror. I was tired of wearing baggy clothes or control top yoga pants all the time. After speaking with several cosmetic surgeons I decides to see Dr. York Yates. He, and his staff, are absolutely amazing. Before and after surgery care and contact is better than any other doctor I have ever been to. I do not have enough good things to say about this man. I am a Nail Technician, by trade, and I tell all of my clients who are considering any cosmetic surgery that they should go to my doctor. I cannot tell you the amount of times I have given out Dr. Yates' phone number or pulled up his website for my clients to look at. I don't think I will ever be able to accurately articulate the extremely profound gratitude I have for this man. For the first time, since I was too young to understand body image, I am truly happy with what I see in the mirror.August 27, 2017

Though my meetings with Dr. Yates did feel a little rushed, I still felt that he was very personable and professional. I didn't have much time to get to know him and yet I still trusted that he would do a phenomenal job. I am very pleased with my results at this point, only being 2 days post-op and the recovery has been going very well so far. He must not have been overly intrusive because the pain has been very manageable even taking lower dosages of meds. I cannot wait to see the results when the implants settle.. then I think they will be absolutely perfect! I was worried about sizing but he was able to ease my fears and consider my opinion while also including his so that we came to a conclusion together on the lost natural look for my body type. Overall, working with Dr. Yates and his staff was a pleasant and very exciting experience!August 24, 2017

Dr. Yates is the very best! Not only is he a great dr but he is also an artist. I never felt rushed in his office and he always answered my questions in a way I could understand. I had a drainless procedure and it was so amazing! Not having to deal with drains made my decision that much easier. My inscision is so thin and has already exceeded my expectations of what I thought it would look like. His staff are always kind and friendly. The day of my surgery I was so nervous. The anesthesiologist that he has working for him is so kind and nice and really calmed me down. Dr Yates is a great dr and the staff were equally as amazing! I would do it again in a second.August 23, 2017

I just had a BA done by York yesterday, and oh my!! I am so impressed. From the consultation, surgery and 2nd day results, it has all been perfect. His nurses and front gals are all absolutely sweet and super helpful. Dr. Yates has the best bedside manner! He didn't rush me and was so very patient and thorough answering my multitudes of questions. He didn't push me into anything I didn't want. He just really made me feel like a person and was very calming. Also, as an added bonus, he's pretty easy on the eyes!! 🙂 They took me into the operating room and the anesthesiologist (who was also amazing and kind) turned on some music. Loved that!! The whole operating staff were so cheery and nice!! It was just awesome. Let's get to the results! When I got to my hotel room, I took my bra off to see my new additions and was stunned. They are already beautiful. I can only imagine how perfect they'll be in 6 months!! Dr. Yates did amazing work. Absolutely amazing. Thank you to Dr. Yates and his staff!! I'll definitely be back for more!!August 23, 2017

Results are great and I’m only 3 weeks today! Dr. York Yates and staff were incredible. The patient portal is extremely helpful. You can reach him easily with any questions you have and he gets back to you promptly. Thank you so much for your excellent care. I couldn’t be happier with my results!

Surgeon who listens! Dr. Yates was the best! My main concern was to repair my diastasis recti and hernia with a tummy tuck. I met with other surgeons who told me my only options were to either lower my belly button (which I didn’t feel was as feminine) or to also have a vertical incision (which I REALLY didn’t want to do.) Dr. Yates gave me the option of keeping the belly button where it was. The trade off of not having a vertical incision was to not tighten the skin above the belly button as much. I knew he wanted to do the vertical incision because he felt that would give the best result. However, I personally preferred keeping my skin the same above my belly button and not having a vertical scar. (My scars tend to be raised and purple.) I knew the skin BELOW my belly button would still be pulled nice and tight either way. In the end, he went with my wishes. Having a Dr. who listens and values your opinion is sooo important! He also answered my many questions through the communication app. Most importantly, he took away my disappointment by giving me an option no one else had! The staff was also awesome. They were relatable, made you feel comfortable and couldn’t have been any better. Secondly, I am thrilled with the type of anesthesia he uses. (IV sedation) That was a determining factor in picking him. (Aside from him being an awesome person and accommodating with options.😊) I can tell a HUGE difference with the IV sedation vs general anesthesia. I don’t feel like my organs are coming back from the dead like with general. (Along with other health concerns with general.) For that alone I’m so happy. My recovery has been great. I am 11 days post surgery and the only thing I took was Tylenol. Each day gets a little easier. I feel like the way my stomach looks is best case scenario and I am very happy!
