My daughter began to have lazy-eye like symptoms about six months after birth. As parents we felt completely helpless and overly concerned. Dr. Yeates is the only pediatric ophthalmologist in Utah County that we could find. Lucky for us the visit was great. He diagnosed our daughter with a semi-common issue called Strabismus. He assured us our daughters vision was not in jeopardy and recommended a treatment plan for the future. His assurances were a huge relief for my wife and I. We have been back to Dr. Yeates for one follow-up exam and have a third scheduled in a couple of months.
