My son and I visited Dr Yates in hopes of getting some treatment for his autoimmune disease. Dr Yates did everything but try to help him and address the issue....saying he was depressed. It's been 20 years, since 15 that he has had this. VERY disappointing.

Excellent! He's on point, knows what he's doing and he listens to what you have to say. I rate him as the best.

Loved Dr. Yates knowledgeable, direct, and no nonsense way. The surgery went great and I feel great. He gave wonderful attention at the hospital and office and has a great sense of humor. Highly recommended.

Great Dr! Went in and couldn't walk because of a blown out disc. 3 months out of surgery and feel like a new man. People can say what they want this guy knows his stuff. Dr Yates saved my life! If I ever need another fusion in my spine he's the only dr for me.

Dr. Yates was clear in explaining my problems, showing MRI and Xray images, described where the problem existed and how it would be fixed. There was no question what needed to be done. Even side effects were quickly and clearly explained.

Dr. Yates is a typical doctor: kind of rude, rushed, and a bit arrogant. If you are looking for a sympathetic doctor who will spend time with you, look somewhere else. He spent about two seconds reviewing my MRI and said basically, "oh well, you are going to have to live with the pain." I found another doctor, a local neurosurgeon, who was much better and provided surgical relief.
