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.

Amazing experience!!!
Amazing experience! I am 3 weeks post-op from a mommy makeover which included a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation revision. Dr Yates knew I would be a very difficult case due to a couple prior breast revisions by other surgeons out of state. I also made it much harder on him due to prior liposuction scarring all over my abdomen, he accepted the challenge and worked his MAGIC!I am so extremely pleased with my results already. I will need another final surgery on my breasts in 3 months but, this was discussed and agreedt upon with Dr Yates ahead of time. I have the cutest and sexiest belly button ever, not to mention a flat defined set of abs. Can’t wait to see what I will all look like in 3-6 months.I mainly used over the counter pain meds for my discomfort, I can’t say that I was ever in pain, days 4 and 5 were the worst but other than that no biggie. My scars are looking beautifully.

Exceptional surgeon
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, mini tummy tuck and a bbl done in 2021. He gave me a beautiful and natural result. I came back this year to have my breasts redone (we found they were ruptured from a previous surgeon years ago). 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 friendly helpful and great.

The most amazing doctor and staff
Dr. Yates performed a breast lift, augmentation, and nipple reduction on me and I could not be happier!! After endless research, scrolling through hundreds of reviews, and talking with other patients of Dr. Yates, I was confident that I had found the right surgeon and I couldn’t have been more right, not to mention that the recovery was NOTHING like I expected. I had surgery on a Thursday and went back to work the following Tuesday and honestly I could have went back that Monday. It was one of the easiest surgeries I have ever had and I’ve had a LOT of them. I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Yates, his staff, and his anesthesiologist. Such professionalism and kindness. If you are reading this and are trying to find the right surgeon for breast surgery, look no further. I promise you that you won’t be sorry-he’s worth the wait to get in to….. Thank you Dr. Yates and your staff. I LOVE my new look!! You are ALL truly amazing!

One happy patient – Mar 24, 2023

I have now seen Dr. Yates and team for multiple procedures. Every time I go into the office I feel welcome, valued and like an old friend. From the time that you call and speak to Melissa, engage with Lindsay and meet Sandy you realize you are valued and not just a patient. Everyone in that office has been hand picked and it shows. Gene is simply the most hysterical anesthesiologist you will ever come across and he has a natural calming effect that will make you at ease. Dr. Yates is a true visionary and has so much talent. Not only does he have the ability to see what can be he has the craft to make it so. I am the most excited the on the day after reveal because I get to see first hand at what he has created. It simply brings tears to my eyes. He always pays attention to the fine details that one may not even realize, this is apparent in the first conversation with Dr. Yates. I hope that you will do yourself a great service and meet with Dr. Yates and team,

Dr. Yates listened to my concerns and was kind and compassionate. He explained in detail what my procedure would involve. After my surgery, I experienced no pain whatsoever, and was very pleased with the results. I would recommend him to anyone I care about. He is professional, yet humble.

After reading about Dr. Yates and visiting with him about my health history I felt like he was the right doctor for my breast augmentation surgery. I love the computer program to see a digital rendering of what the end results will be. The craziest thing was someone had to cancel their surgery for the next day and they happily let me take that spot because it was less than 12 hours away. The timing was perfect. I'm healing well. The scars are tiny and they gave me a scar cream to help even more. His staff is wonderful and friendly. I felt comfortable and they answered my questions and even shared their own experiences. I love the app they use to be able to reread the post OP instructions and even now the 3 week instructions. I feel like I can ask any questions I have thru the app or call whenever I need to. I feel like I finally have the shape I've wanted since I was a teen. It's even better than I expected.

Be cautious of the 5 start reviews they offer discounts for leaving a good review and bug u for months about it. Not saying everyone had a bad experience but mine left me fighting severe depression. After breastfeeding I wanted to feel good about myself again. I went to Dr. Yates in hopes of getting some confidence back. This has been the worst mistake of my life I went from being a little insecure about my breast to severely depressed (medication just to sleep). I’m petite 5’1 120lb with natur

I recently had a breast lift and reduction by Dr. Yates, the result is amazing. I couldn't be happier. Everything about my procedure- from the consultation, to the surgery, and now the follow ups- have been handled wonderfully. Dr. Yates and his staff are professional, caring, and friendly. I have recommended him to several of my friends and am waiting anxiously for my next procedure. My trust in his office was well placed... I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you all, you're the best!!!

Dr. Yates and his staff are amazing. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering some form of plastic surgery! He is very knowledgeable and skilled in his craft. From the initial consultation to the post op appointments, I have felt cared for and any concerns were addressed right away. He will put you at ease and talk you through the procedure you are thinking about exactly. My tummy tuck looks amazing and I'm just about 3 weeks post op. It is better than I could have ever imagined.

Dr. York Yates is a highly skilled and meticulous plastic surgeon. The complete art and attention to detail is unsurpassed. I am a 47 year mom of 3 who lost 110 lbs. and had a significant amount of loose skin as a result. I received a full tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation and I can honestly say I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! He was attentive, personable, and had a meticulous eye. I would consider myself a pretty picky person, but nothing compared to Dr. York Yates. He displayed such care i
