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

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.

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!!!!❤️

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.

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.
