Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible
My opinion based on my personal experience is that Dr. Yates lacks the requisite ethical requirements of a board certified plastic surgeon. Her work is satisfactory, noting special at all. Her surgical room resembles that of the back of an animal Shelter. Beware

My first ever breast reduction surgery experience
Dr. Yates was excellent. She was very friendly and made me feel very welcome in her institution. I was formerly a triple D cup size and transformed into a B/C cup. I feel so much more comfortable in my body with my new B/C cup size. Thank you so much, Dr. Yates. You literally changed my life.

I look 10 years younger! My scars are barely visible, and I barely bruised. Dr Yates performed a face/neck lift and eyelids on me 4 months ago, and I could not be more pleased.

Dr. Yates is a gifted and talented surgeon. She is attentive to the smallest details. I went to her for a Breast lift with implants. I also did a tummy tuck during the same surgery. After seeing about four different plastic surgeons I made my decision to go with Dr. Yates and I have not regretted it. I look phenomenal and could not recommend her more highly.

I have a patient of doctor Yates for 9 months. I underwent bilateral nipple sparing mastectomies and she performed my reconstruction. I could not be happier with my result. I am more confident now with my breasts then before my surgery. It’s hard to believe a person could prefer their breast after mastectomy more than before. But I do. I am so grateful for Dr Yates and her beautiful life changing work.

The breast reconstruction left me asymmetrical and with one breast larger than the other. Also she left additional scars from staplers in my abdomen and cutting through the skin in my armpit while trying to elevate the scarred tissue from skin. I got bilateral encapsulation, a “double bubble” on my right breast and she disregarded my request not to incise the non cancerous nipple. Although I would’ve liked to have finally reached A success story with Dr Yates, she turned out to be my horror story instead. I think she’s a very nice person but her skills gets lost somewhere between her mouth and her hands.

It doesn't get better than Dr. Yates! I had the unfortunate experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer. Dr. Yates was a phenomenal surgeon who stunned me with how she was able to take her never-ending expertise and deliver it in the most compassionate and enthusiastic way one could ever ask for. She didn't say, "you've got this." She said, "we've got this." I cant say enough about her and her care team epitomizes bringing humanity back to healthcare.

I recommend Dr. Yates without any reservation. She is a highly skilled surgeon as well as expert in neurotoxins and fillers. She has excellent bedside manner and truly cares about her patients. She has a keen eye for identifying areas for individual aesthetic improvement. I couldn't be happier with my results. She has a patient for life in me. Love her!

Thank you Dr. Yates! i appreciate you so much! i was referred to Dr. Yates by another doctor for removal of a lymphoma and really hoped to get it done before end of year as my deductibles were all paid up. Dr. Yates was a pleasure to meet with. Young- smart - attentive - very easy to communicate with - everything you want in a doctor. Despite her already tight schedule she squeezed me in and everything worked out just perfectly. I should add that she is also quite highly regarded by her col

Dr. Yates and her staff are very professional and curtious. During your visit they take great care of you and Dr. Yates makes sure that you are comfortable and well informed during your time with her, she makes sure any questions or concerns you have are answered before leaving. Dr. Yates changed my life for the best and for that I will always be grateful and thankful for her doing what she loves to do.

Dr Yates performed a breast augmentation on my daughter. Her results were amazing, I was so impressed I decided to go with her for my facelift. It took me 10 years to finally do what I really needed and I couldn't be happier with how I look and feel. She is a talented surgeon with a great bedside manner. We love Dr Yates!
