"i had my first meeting with dr yates on april 21 2001. my husband and i liked him very much. the next time i was suppose to see him was on july 2 after i had my pre-op tests. at this time i heard he was sick and had to reschedule my appointment with him. at this time i called from the hospital and scheduled my visit for july 14. i then get a call the friday before that to reschedule again. this is when i found out that dr.yates was closing his office. i was to have my surgery on july 20. the new start program got me together with dr ronald gaskins. i met him on july 19, had my surgery, on his day off, on july 20. he is a very nice and competent doctor. he always had time for me. always had time to answer
all of my husband and mine questions."
