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

I’ve had 3 great experiences with Dr. Yates – breast augmentation in 2016, tummy tuck in 2023, and implant replacement/reduction in 2025. I wouldn’t go anywhere else or trust anyone else with plastic surgery. The staff are amazing and Dr. Yates is a wonderful doctor and artist.
I am 3 weeks into recovery from my tummy tuck. As background, I delivered my children via C Sections. The scaring, scar tissue were very unsightly and created problems for me throughout my adult life. Add to it the years of weight gain and now due to my dramatic weight loss only compounded my problem. The flabby skinn, the fit of my clothes, how I felt about myself, my self esteem; ladies you get the picture. If you are a mom, you 100% understand what I am referring to. I finally decided to do something about it, did my research and found Dr. Yates. He was recommended to me by a close friend. To say that I am overjoyed is an understatement!!! The pre visit, the day of surgery, the post-surgery treatment, the facilities, the professionalism of everyone involved was truly professional and were a pleasure to work with. There was no judgement by any of his staff, and during my pre visit consultation, he was positive that he could help me with my identified problem. He nor his staff ever tried to upsell me on any additional procedures. They understood what I wanted to have accomplished, how I wanted it to look. They walked me through the entire process, end to end. What a pleasure!!! The post surgical experience, let me say this. I did not take ANY narcotics for pain management. I only took Tylenol and by the 5th day after surgery, I was off of ALL Pain meds. If I ever decide to have additional cosmetic surgeries, if any of my friends need cosmetic surgery, I will 10,000% recomend Dr. Yates, Hands down!!! Thank You for making what I presumed was going to be an embarrasing, unbearable situation a beautiful outcome. Today, Dr. Yates, you were correct, the tears that I had in my eyes at the 3 week post surgical visit were definitely Happy Tears, Tears of Joy!!!!. Thank You for everything!!!
Dr. Yates and his staff were amazing from day one. From the first day I met them in person at my consultation they were so friendly and welcoming. I was able to address all my concerns with Dr. Yates and he made sure I understood what would be expected, made sure I had realistic expectations with my breast augmentation and helped me pick out the right implants for me. He was so personable and his bedside manner was amazing. One of my favorite things was the fact that he made me well aware of what the procedure would change for me, and it really helped me understand my frame and how the same implants won’t look the same on every body. Overall I would absolutely recommend Dr. Yates. I have absolutely no complaints with anything and I am three weeks post op!!!
I had the most amazing experience with Dr. York Yates & his staff. I traveled from out of state to him, based on lots of referrals where I live. I am on day 2 recovery of an implant exchange from ruptured breast implants from a previous plastic surgeon. The process was so simple and I am recovering so well, even with removing ruptured implants. I have hardly any swelling or pain post op. I will be going to Dr. York Yates for everything in the future. Thank you for taking the time with my in depth pre-op visit (measuring, assessing and suggesting the best route to take) I will be recommending you and your staff to everyone 🤍🤍🤍
Friendly and caring staff. Dr. Yates is professional and truly an artist.
After a disappointing experience with a previous plastic surgeon, meeting Dr. Yates and his team was a breath of fresh air. They were knowledgeable, professional and focused on my comfort, never trying to upsell me. Their expertise and genuine care gave me the confidence to completely redo my breast augmentation, have a lift and correct the complications from my prior surgery. The results exceeded my expectations. The aftercare was phenomenal, and communication with Dr. Yates through their app made the entire process seamless. I will be recommending them to friends and family.
Love Dr Yates his office staff are all very friendly and helpful. The office itself was so comfortable. Dr Yates did a great job had little to no pain after and my scars look so much better.
I’m only a day out from my surgery with Dr. York Yates and his incredible team, and I already feel such gratitude. From the moment I stepped into the office I felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. Every interaction from consultation through post op has been marked by kindness, clarity, and professionalism. The process has been smooth, the support has been unwavering, and the results have already exceeded my hopes. It is a powerful feeling to place your trust in someone and know it was the right choice. If you’re looking for a surgeon and team who truly go above and beyond, look no further.
Went in with a rupture. The whole team was exceptional. I felt genuinely cared for. I’m still on the mend, but so far they look better than ever, and I was pretty happy with what I originally had. He was meticulous, very easy to talk to, and I felt listened to on every level. I would trust him with any type of cosmetic procedure at this point.
I’ve been a repeat patient of Dr. York Yates, and it will continue to stay that way. Dr. York Yates is very gentle and listens thoroughly to your ideas and wants. The receptionist is very kind and helpful. The staff is very friendly; I feel very comfortable asking any questions . I’m currently writing this review right after surgery. I have zero pain, only mild discomfort. I’m so excited to see my results. Thank you, Dr. York Yates.
