Meet Dr. William Yates

Dr. Yates has more experience performing Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplants than any physician in Chicagoland, and was the first surgeon in the Midwest to offer FUE. Drawing from his more than 20 years of expertise in hair restoration, Dr. Yates offers the latest cutting-edge hair solutions, whether you’re interested in a FUE procedure, hairline restoration, or eyebrow restoration.

After earning his medical degree, Dr. Yates completed a rigorous residency in general surgery and an advanced fellowship in trauma surgery, equipping him with deep surgical expertise and a commitment to patient safety. He is board certified by the American Board of Surgery, in general surgery as well as surgical critical care, and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).

His private practice, located in downtown Chicago, is the Midwest’s leading center for advanced hair restoration. Combining the latest surgical tools with carefully individualized treatment plans, Dr. Yates and his team provide a comfortable, supportive environment. Each of our procedures is designed to result in natural-looking, lasting results, to give you a renewed sense of confidence and comfort.

Dr. Yates can work with all types of hair, but what makes him especially sought after is his sensitivity to the unique hair restoration needs of African Americans women, people with textured hair, and people seeking gender-affirming care. Recognizing how curl pattern, hair density, and donor hair characteristics can differ, he tailors his surgical approach to each patient, supporting fuller growth, better coverage, and greater confidence in styling.

Dr. Yates and Robin took such good care of me, made me feel 100% comfortable and stress free throughout the entire process. 4 months later my hair has significantly changed and I look forward to seeing even more growth over these next few months. No words could truly show the gratitude I feel for this whole experience.

Every time I visit, I’m left with an elevated experience! Dr. Yates is a wonderful doctor and a really cool guy. I’ve been here for hair restoration procedures like micro pigmentation and FUE grafts. It has enhanced my image dramatically, and still looks very natural. Dr. Yates knows what he’s doing, and he is very comfortable to work with.

– Kenneth, 2025

So grateful to have Dr. Yates and his team! After years of aggressive shedding I turned to Dr. Yates to help restore my hair vitality! After finally consulting the doctor I left kicking myself that I didn’t come to Dr. Yates sooner. I already have so much new growth! It’s happening! Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Dr. Yates and his staff for any cosmetic procedure you may need. Pricing is reasonable, and the care was fantastic.
