Yates, York MD is rated 5.0 out of 5.0 based on 675 ratings.
After having and breastfeeding two wonderful boys, my body underwent an extreme change. My breast decided to leave as soon as my boys were done nursing. After 6 years of talking about wanting to get implants, my husband and I were finally in a position in life to do such a thing. Unfortunately, discussing plastic surgeons at the grocery store is hard to do and navigating your way towards a surgeon is even harder. I found out that one of my neighbors had seen Dr. Yates for breast augmentation. She looked AMAZING! Like myself, she is a very petite individual and she couldn’t have looked more natural if she was born with her new breasts. After hearing about her experience I started researching Dr. Yates. His website won me over immediately. Everything you could ever want to know about the surgery is there, along with pricing. I made the consultation appointment and fell in love with his staff. They were so down to earth and real about the fact I was fixing to have implants installed. Dr. Yates was fantastic to talk to. He took my body structure and everyday life into account when selecting an implant size and was very honest with me about the pros and cons of each type. He was informative without being persuasive which made my decisions so much easier to make. The surgery was incredible. I was given all the necessary prescriptions and post-op information long before the surgery so I was more than prepared for the big day. I had no fear going in. I was given so much support and firsthand experience from Dr. Yates and his staff that there was nothing to fear. I knew exactly what to expect with my recovery and was happily surprised by how quickly I felt able to go back to everyday life. For me implants were more than just a cosmetic improvement for my body, they were a way to feel like a woman again. To have shirts fit the right way and to be able to wear a swimming suit not designed for a pre-teen. I have been overly thrilled with my new body since the day I had the surgery. I am one year post-op and still love them! Thank you Dr. Yates!July 22, 2012

Dr. Yates is hands down the best of the best! My experience with him and his staff beyond exceeded my expectations!! I was extremely nervous to find the perfect plastic surgeon who i could relate to and feel comfortable with. It was most important to not only find a highly qualified, excellent and reputable surgeon, but to find a doctor whom i could trust and whom i felt comfortable speaking to about my procedure. Dr. Yates made me feel comfortable and confident from the second i met with him. He is truly an expert and a perfectionist. I could NOT be more satisfied with the outcome of my breast augmentation, the process and recovery were as smooth as they could be. The recovery was easy to manage following instructions and advice from Dr. Yates. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Yates to anyone; family, friends and loved ones. A great plastic surgeon, a perfectionist, and a truly great doctor who really cares about his patients. I would go back to Dr. Yates in a heart beat and plan on doing so in the future!! THANK YOU DR. YATES!!June 26, 2012

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!
