About

Dr. Yates, MD is located just off Michigan Avenue in the Loop, between East South Water Street and East Lake Street. The founding surgeon, Dr. William Yates, focuses solely on hair restoration. The practice says it breaks from the traditional, old-fashioned, corporate model of hair transplantation, and the site describes the office's diagnostic and surgical equipment as state-of-the-art.

Surgical work centers on minimally invasive FUE, performed with manual and robotic systems. The site describes the practice as the Midwest's leading center for hair restoration and says it was the first in Chicago and the Midwest to offer FUE hair transplants. Surgical options also include body-hair transplants for patients with limited donor hair, hair-sparing FUE for people who want to keep longer hair in the back and sides, and scar repair for hair transplants.

Non-surgical options include PRP therapy, exosome therapy, Keralase, laser light therapy, neuromodulator injections for hair loss, stem cell treatment, and a topical hair growth serum made as a custom medical-grade formula. Scalp micropigmentation is a semi-permanent pigment treatment that recreates the look of shaved hair follicles. It generally takes two sessions about 30 days apart, each lasting 4 to 6 hours. Scalp micropigmentation typically costs between $1,000 and $5,500 depending on the area, and the final estimate follows an evaluation. Body contouring is offered with Kybella and Sculpsure.

Visits begin with a free consultation and free quote, available by phone or through the website form. Out-of-town patients can use a travel concierge service that covers the trip, the procedure and follow-up care. Financing options include LendingClub, CareCredit and payment plans through Cherry, with 0% APR options subject to eligibility and no hard credit checks. Patient care standards are overseen by a Registered Nurse. Hours are Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm and Saturday 9 am to 2 pm. The site says the office is easy to reach by car or CTA, and paid parking is available next door at the Park Millennium Parking Garage. The practice serves patients from Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri and Kansas.

The practice says it designs a custom plan for each patient within FUE, and that the surgeon performs procedures personally rather than delegating them to a physician assistant or technician.

The site describes the office's diagnostic and surgical equipment as state-of-the-art.
