Yates, York MD is rated 5.0 out of 5.0 based on 675 ratings.
I went to Dr. Yates for a breast lift and augmentation as well as a tummy tuck. He was very professional and answered all of my questions as well as my husband’s questions. His staff was very friendly and helped calm my fears on the day of surgery. I couldn’t have dreamt of better results! He was a true artist! The results were minimal and Dr. Yates was able to help me chose the breast size and shape that worked well with my body type. However, he treated me and my husband with the utmost respect and did not push anything on me.March 17, 2015

Dr. Yates is a true artist. Selected the gummy bear natural tear drop for my augmentation and they are perfect. Symmetry, drop and size look beautiful. I'm so happy and would highly recommend using Dr. Yates for any of your cosmetic surgery needs.March 16, 2015

At age 50 I was having problems with certain parts of my body where I could just not lose the fat. Being a marfan as well does not help. As I am a heart patient, having any invasive surgery can be risky. Not to mention quite a bit more monitored. I opted to go for "coolsculpting". having read about the procedure and the expected results on line. There would be no cutting or anesthesia needed. And as I was not seeing results in those specific areas with normal diet and exercise. I decided to try it. The areas needed to be worked on were my lower chest (around the nipples), and my belly. Which had been greatly extended because of 7 previous hernia surgeries. Lindsey was extremely helpful in making me as comfortable as possible , and informed me of what to expect during the procedure. And I was easily ready for this. The amount of pain was quite tolerable for me in all 3 instances (Though I must admit I have a very high tolerance for pain from many years of athletic conditioning.). First being my belly. a few months later being my chest. and then finally a few months later for a second attempt at my belly.( As I had mentioned. This are was greatly over extended.) I am very confident with the results as I am able to wear my pants "normally" (because of the previous bulge of the belly , I had to wear my pants "too high up" to keep them from slipping off. My chest also looks significantly better as I no longer look like I have breast tissue in the region of my lower chest. people have commented that I "look better" though the changes were so slow and subtle that they just assumed it was through diet and exercise. And only a tiny handful of friends know the truth about it. I am very pleased with the results, and though I might consider a third round of treatment on my belly. At this point I am going to wait and see till ALL results are in. -February 13, 2015

Dr. York Yates is a true artist and highly skilled plastic surgeon. I am ecstatic about the results on my "mini tummy tuck" abdominalplasty... My stomach looks better now than when I was 20 years old!!! I search for over a year to find the right plastic surgeon that could create near flawless results. I am a practitioner myself and I spoke with many of my friends in order to narrow it down to a couple surgeons. Once I narrowed it down I saw actual previous patients of Dr. York Yates and it was easy to make the decision in selecting him. He truly cared and made sure I was completely satisfied with the end results. I couldn't be more happy and I have recommended him to all that have ask.January 20, 2015

I am a 24 year old girl who needed a breast reduction DESPERATELY. The service provided to me was outstanding. The staff was kind and addressed all of my questions and concerns. Dr. Yates was so personable, professional, and reassuring. He worked with incredible efficiency, accuracy, and confidence. I knew that he would give me his absolute best work before the end of our first meeting. The results were shockingly successful and so satisfactory, that I wept. If ever needed in the future, I will always go to Dr. Yates from here on out. I'm SO HAPPY.January 17, 2015

Professional- made me feel comfortable and safe. Had my 1st surgery 11 years prior from another Dr but after a kid and body changes I was ready for an upgrade. I “followed” Dr Yates for years and have recommended many happy ppl to him. 5 years later I am still recommending him and loving his work 🫶🏻
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. York and his staff. They are caring, knowledgeable, and Dr. York has an incredible bedside manor. I would highly recommend 100 percent.
Dr. Yates is a professional in every way. He listened to my concerns and my extended tummy tuck turned out amazing! I would recommend him to anyone considering a procedure. He will speak realistically and not try to upsell you.
Can’t recommend Dr Yates enough! I had a breast augmentation done about 6 weeks ago and the whole experience has been amazing. From consult to surgery I felt heard and very well prepared. The staff is amazing too! Everyone was friendly and professional. Dr Yates must be a magician, I essentially had zero post op pain! My results are exactly as I imagined. If I could give more than 5 stars I would
Dr.Yates and his team were awesome. The expertise and the time spent answering questions was appreciated! Would definitely recommend!
I had a wonderful experience with everyone at Dr. York Yates. The staff was awesome and my surgery turned out so much better than I expected. This was a great experience!
Staff- very friendly all around. During pre op they are very professional. The people you check in with are also friendly. The anesthesiologist is great and the woman who helped with recovery was very kind. The only people who actually could be quite rude are whoever the people are who transfer you to York Yates staff when you initially call the tanner clinic, which I don’t think work for him. Not sure who they are, but they were not good. York Yates – he’s great. He treats you well and knows what he’s doing. Clinic – great atmosphere. Comfy waiting area, lots of parking and they have a separate area where spouses can wait while your surgery is being done. This was a big pro to my husband. Results – look great so far (2 months out). No complications. He Was able to successfully fix tubular breast and difference in size. Post op- they send you home with scar cream, 2 bras, and a band. Looking back, I Would love if I’d had 2 bands, but I do really like that they supply 2 bras.
I highly recommend Dr. Yates and his practice. He is professional and talented and I feel like he really listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly what I asked for. He was very honest and up front about expected results and I left the consultation with every question answered. He took his time to talk to me about everything and I never felt rushed during the consultation. I had one other consultation at another doctor’s office and it felt like the doctor just wanted to get me out of there as fast as possible. Definitely not the case with Dr. Yates! The office is beautiful and the staff was so welcoming and knowledgeable as well. His nurse Lindsay is amazing! I received a breast augmentation and tummy tuck and I am blown away by the results. I am 3 months post-surgery and everything is looking and feeling fantastic! I got the Motiva brand implants and I love them. They are soft and mimic a natural shape and profile. After 4 kids I had little confidence in the physical appearance of my body and these procedures have changed my confidence level tremendously. I had my first child 18 years ago so to have this new body after almost 20 years is a game changer. I wore a two piece for the first time and it was so fun to feel good in a bathing suit again. Dr. Yates made sure I got exactly what I envisioned and I felt so supported throughout the whole process. I felt I could reach out anytime with questions and I was answered almost immediately by either Dr. Yates or his nurses. Their communication app is great and keeps everything organized in one easy to use app. I highly recommend this office. You will not be disappointed!
I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Yates and his staff. I had a breast augmentation with lift performed. This was my first experience with a surgical procedure and anesthesia. To say I was apprehensive is an understatement. I was very nervous about the consult, anesthesia, and recovery. All of my fears and doubts were immediately put at ease from my very first appointment. First of all, the office is Beautiful – it’s like walking into a gorgeous spa. I knew from that attention to detail alone – I was in amazing hands. Every experience I had with Dr. Yates and his staff was amazing. Dr. Yates has a wonderful bedside manner, he listened to all my questions and what my expectations were with patience and focus. The 3D mapping during my consult was very cool and really helped me visualize my results and solidify my decision. My procedure went amazingly well and my recovery from anesthesia and pain was phenomenal. I loved that I didn’t require the pain medication even though it was provided. I am about a month out from my surgery and I am extremely happy with my results. I will recommend Dr. Yates to all my friends and family.
Dr Yates is honest and very good at explaining what can be done. His assistants are very helpful too.
