Yates, York MD is rated 5.0 out of 5.0 based on 675 ratings.
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.November 4, 2025

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.October 30, 2025

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 recommendOctober 29, 2025

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.October 28, 2025

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!October 16, 2025

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.May 24, 2023

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.October 3, 2025

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!October 1, 2025

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.

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!

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.

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!!
