Dr, Bates is the BEST surgeon I have ever met in Mt whole life. He is very sweet, professional, and skilled. Thank you so much Dr, Bates and his staff for providing me such a great experience. His staff and his skills make me feel so safe during my surgery. I would highly recommend Dr, Bates for everyone and all of my family members if they ever need plastic surgery.

Originally another doctor had done my surgery and I had serious complications I begin seeing dr. Bates 4 weeks after my first surgery. He got my belly button healed and then fection and my tummy tuck removed and I'm heading toward a full recovery. Dr. Bates will be doing a arm revision and my breast lift with augmentation in about 3 more weeks. One of the best plastic surgeons Ive come across. He is warm and compassionate and really listens to his patients.

Dr. Bates is a highly skilled plastic surgeon. He has done two Dupuytrens Contracture hand surgeries for me. I have complete confidence in him and always find him to be friendly and professional.

Dr. Bates is a kind, respectful doctor. He is very knowledgable and conscientious, he conferred with his colleagues about my case to be certain he was going to take the best approach. I feel confidant with the procedure and that the results will be great.

Dr. Bates is a phenomenal surgeon. He helped restructure my nose after my daughter head butted me and shattered my nose. He's extremely professional but has a soft bedside manner as well. I've referred him to a few other people and everyone has had the same experience as me. I would never see another doctor for reconstructive work. Everything he does looks very natural.
