He and others at the hospital, and office are very great people who did a great job on my surgery. I couldn't have asked for a better Dr.! Everything he did was absolutely perfect. Maybe perhaps people will learn a valuable lesson one day and have more respect for their underpaid Drs. and nurses, & hospital employees, and stop lying & saying terrible things about such wonderful people!!

He did great on my surgery, but not too great in the office. I suppose he thought I knew things that I didn't, like how much pressure I could put on my leg w/ the boot on, but I didn't. He nor his asst. tell me how much pressure I could put on my leg w/ the boot on, & so I didn't walk on it at all---0%, until my therapist told me that I can walk on my leg, & I sd. I can, & she sd. yeah, but only 50%, though. I sd. wow, I didn't even know because Yates and his asst. didn't even tell me I could walk on it, but they did advise me to never take it off, other than to take a bath, but I did take it off to sleep, & while sitting around, anyway. He sometimes harassed me in a way that bothered me, like telling me I'm crazy, lying about it. He knows I wasn't & am not crazy, albeit, he/others are! He/others have access to a local mental hospitals if they need to get help for their mental illnesses, which he/ they did & do. Yates, & others at his office, & some at the hosp. will be fired, locked up
Dr. Yates is a mental patient w/ mental illnesses, & he's a prostitute on a street corner, not a Dr.!!! He has access to a local mental clinic for free of charge if needs to go check into one, which he did & does. He, & Dr. Williford, & others at his clinic, & at the hospital. He will be picked up by a police officer & arrested for prostitution, & for mental illnesses, him, & Dr. Williford, Marian A. & others at his clinic & at the hospital. I am a Queen/Killer, & I'm extraordinarilly nice, & I'm out to get people who are "BAD", like Dr. Yates, & them. He/they should've thought before he spoke, & acted as he/they did!!!! They should've checked into a local free mental health clinic long ago, & they wouldn't be sooo bad off right now!!! No one is going to listen to Dr. Yates, & them at his clinic, or at the hospital, or believe what they sd. & say is true, because it isn't true. What I sd. & say is true. I remember everything he/they sd. & did! My life isn't any of his/their buss.!!!

His overall performance was great, albeit, he definitely can use some improvements. Yeah, he did a great surgery, him, & the other Drs., but not too great in the office, though. Incorrect info. given to me, on purpose, as well as not enough info. not given to me, on purpose. I do hope he now understands that the patient really is the patient. I do not know anyone who's broken a leg like me, so, therefore, I didn't/don't know anything about the details/procedures! I wished he would've thought about who he was talking to or not pretended to not remember who he was talking to & exactly when he performed my surgery, which was on 01/01/07 at around 4pm, & I broke my leg on 12/31/06 around 6pm. He knew exactly what day he did my surgery, & what day I broke my leg, & exactly what all went in my leg, which was 9 screws, & a metal plate, not a metal rod, like he sd. I had put in my leg at one office visit,& like a nurse at the hosp. sd. He's very educated, & knowledgeable. A very bright Dr./man

Poor follow up after surgery. Went back in pain and told he could see me in two weeks. Saw him one time after surgery. Fluid drawn off knee by PA.

Dr. Yates is very knowledgeable & did a great job on my Arthroscopic knee surgery. He also works with Gateway Education Center with the disabled children on their Orthopedic needs. I highly respect him.
