Yates, York MD is rated 5.0 out of 5.0 based on 675 ratings.
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.May 24, 2017

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!!!!❤️May 16, 2017

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.May 16, 2017

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.May 13, 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.
