Yates, York MD is rated 5.0 out of 5.0 based on 675 ratings.
Dr. Yates is AMAZING. He is a perfectionist, his scars are minimal, his attention to detail is the best I have ever seen, and he has some of the nicest staff you will ever meet. I am a 40 year old mother of 2 boys...as you can imagine giving birth to them destroyed my body. No matter what i did, ate, or exercised i couldn’t get my body back. After years of frustration I decided to get a mommy makeover. So I did a ton of research and went to see several plastic surgery clinics. I was getting frustrated because the Drs (or their staffs)I met seemed annoyed by my questions, seemed to want to tell me what I wanted done instead of listening to what I wanted and didn’t seem to make it feel like I was person more of just a procedure. That was until I found Dr. Yates and his team. He is so down to earth, took time to make sure I knew all of my options, and made sure I didn’t do anything until I felt comfortable knowing what it was, what I could expect to see, and how much time it would take to heal. His team is just as good if not better at making you feel like they are there to help you. I have been through 2 major surgeries with him now. The first one was a tummy tuck, breast lift, and lipo. The second one was lower body lipo. After coming home from the first surgery my husband just couldn’t stop staring at me - he just kept saying “how did he do that you look amazing?” My body has only gotten better, my only regret was that I didn’t find him sooner and that I spent so long complaining about how much I hated my body instead of going through the surgery. Dr Yates and team thank you for the incredible work you did. Thank you for treating me like a person, and thank you for giving me my confidence back.June 7, 2017

I had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Yates and it really was the experience I was hoping for. I did a lot of research, and when I came across his name and website I immediately had confirmation that he was the doctor for me. The before and afters on his website helped so so much, there are so many! I am very visual and need to see people's work to feel confident in them! He is also an artist so that assured me as well that he is very particular in his specialty. He made me feel very comfortable, as a result I got exactly what I asked for! If you're thinking about cosmetic surgery, I'd recommend anyone and everyone to him!June 1, 2017

Dr Yates did an implant replacement for me a few years back. My previous breast augmentation was done by a much less expensive doctor and was uneven. Dr Yates fixed the issue and they are absolutely perfect. He is amazing!May 31, 2017

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!
