Yates, York MD is rated 5.0 out of 5.0 based on 675 ratings.
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!!!September 10, 2025

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!!!September 5, 2025

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 🤍🤍🤍August 30, 2025

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.August 13, 2025

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.July 18, 2025

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.July 16, 2025

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.July 15, 2025

Doctor Yates is incredible!!! When I meet with him he gave me facts of what my outcome could be. I finally said ok let’s do it. The result are unreal. I am only two weeks out and I still can’t believe what it all looks like. The results are nothing like he said they could be they are even 1000000 better. I feel great and again only two weeks out. Doctor Yates thank you for what you have done for me and other. There is no reason to even say I will or can recommend you. As soon as anyone sees my results they will be calling you. Your staff is excellent and caring and warm. I loved my experience and can’t wait till I see you in 3 months for my check up. Thank you � you have changed my life forever!!!
Words cannot explain how happy I am with Dr York Yates and his staff. They are very professional and treat you as if you are family. Dr York Yates is not only amazing and confident with his work, he also went above and beyond my expectations! The staff are very knowledgeable with years of experience. By far the best care I’ve had pre and post surgery. As nervous as I was going into this, by the time of my surgery I felt at ease, relaxed, and excited!! Being out of state I would have to say that Lindsay was able to help me through every step I needed to take and was able to answer every question and concern I had. I would most definitely recommend anyone who is looking at getting any kind of cosmetic surgery to turn to Dr York Yates. You will not be disappointed.

Just saw Dr. Yates’ add come through my news feed…I was excited!!! It’s been 6 years since I went to Dr. Yates but, man I can honestly say he is an amazing doctor. I went to a few plastic surgeons that people had recommended and I really did my research. When I met Dr. Yates, even my husband was comfortable with him. My husband is a bio-medical engineer and knew all the risks, medically he had tons of concerns but, was really impressed with Dr. Yates. Funny story though, before I went under, I was wearing an Abercrombie sweater that was pretty snug and I remember when the procedure was done as I was coming out of the anaesthesia, I heard the nurses talking as they tried to put it back on and they were having a hard time. One of the nurses said “what is this, like Barbie size???” ��� I thought it was funny. Anyways, six years later and life is still great! Thanks Dr. Yates.

I had a horrible experience with my last augmentation and lift 8 Years ago with a different Doctor. I met with Dr. Yates 6 Years ago for a consultation to fix me. I came back six years later after more research to be sure of my decision to get this done. I loved his honesty and how confident he is with his work. I just had my Old implants removed and a lift with Dr. Yates last Tuesday. I know it’s only been a week, but I love them!! Dr. Yates, gave me so much self esteem back. I can’t wait to get back to running and working out without big painful beasts. I can’t thank you and your awesome staff enough!! Thanks for fixing my breasts and my self esteem. I will and have recommend Dr. Yates to everyone considering plastic surgery. Love you all!!!

My procedure was breast implant removal. I had a consult with Dr. Yates to remove and replace my implants with smaller implants. I am a very small frame and felt that the implants (I was a 34 B/C) were bigger than what I wanted. I wear an extra small blouse, but it was always too tight across the front, especially with buttons. A small blouse hangs largely off of my shoulders. I just always felt somewhat matronly. Dr. Yates spent a LOT of time determining and interpreting what it was I really wanted. He told me my implants were small and by replacing them with smaller implants might not make me happy as the smallest ones were not really that much smaller than what I had. He felt that total removal would probably be what I wanted. I had really never even considered this alternative. He explained that through the years my breasts would have developed some fat…I would NOT be flat (in my previous pre-implant life I was a 34AA, almost a AAA), and that it might be exactly the answer that I was looking for. He was EXACTLY right. I had the surgery and it was a breeze. I had no pain or soreness and never needed in pain medication or even ibuprofen. Couldn’t be happier! I am now a 34 A/B. Exactly what I wanted. Extra small clothes fit perfectly! I could not be HAPPIER with Dr. Yates! He spent all the time I needed to help me make the decision. HE LISTENS!!! He is a perfectionist. He is extremely professional. He could have just said okay to my request to the smaller implants, charged me much more, and be done with it. I would have not been nearly as happy with the result, and he knew this, mainly because he was really LISTENING to me. I would happily recommend him for anyone looking for any procedure. His staff from the time you walk in the door is top-notch. The wait time is VERY minimal. Everyone is extremely organized and of course most professional. Thank you Dr. Yates and Staff!
