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

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.

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.

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. –

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.

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.
