"Dr. Bates is an amazing doctor, he answered all my questions and made me feel at ease, I am so happy with my results.. Beth, Rosie and Crystal always went over and beyond every step of the way. They always had sweet words of encouragement."
"The best out there! So reassuring and kind! My nurse Katy & Dr. Bates were amazing!"
"Everyone I’ve talked to at this clinic (Amelia Island and main Ponte Vedra location) is so nice and welcoming: front staff, assistants, nurses, pt coordinator, my esthetician Katy, Botox injector Deleah, anesthesiologist ,and my surgeon Dr. Bates. I’m 11 days PO from a BA and happy with my results so far! Would recommend to anyone!"
"The nurse (Taylor) that took care of me the night after my surgery was AMAZING. She made all the difference and was very patient with me. The total experience so far has been great. Dr. Bates and Rosalie bring me peace knowing that they are competent. Beth the patient coordinator was patient with me too drafting multiple quotes based on my options. I could have gone through insurance elsewhere but I have zero regrets with spending the extra money to get it done right with a good team."
"Outstanding. Dr Bates and team were fantastic. Beth on the planning and administration side was equally great!"
"I was very impressed with the staff at PVPS. Everyone was very friendly and efficient. I had a facelift performed by Dr. Bates. I have been so happy with my results. Dr. Bates listened to my concerns and offered his professional opinion. My results were so natural but made such a difference. I feel the results were exactly what I wanted to achieve. I would highly recommend Dr. Bates if you are considering a facelift. My experience with PVPS was wonderful!"
"The decision I made to have a breast reduction was obviously a very serious one. It would be unusual if anyone ever said that was a choice that was easy to make. But I’ve been dealing with neck and shoulder pain for a very long time, and I finally made the decision to go forward with it. I cannot express in words how happy I am with Dr. Bates, his surgical team, the nursing team and the staff at Ponte Vedra plastics. Here is a list of why: 1. The decision to have the surgery was not for cosmetic reasons, and they understood that. I felt like every single person genuinely cared for my emotional state of health, my mental state of health and my physical well-being. 2. The results so far have been fantastic. The healing is going very smoothly and quickly. Some people go into the surgery and they offer what they call wish photos, which is what they desire to look like when the surgery is complete. I did not do this. I simply told Dr. Bates please make me look proportionate - that is all I desire. Dr. Bates is the consummate professional and his talent and skill are apparent, because he was able to give me exactly that. 3. The environment of Ponte Vedra plastics is very serene, calming, clean, and welcoming. They do a very good job of putting the patient and family at ease on their big day. 4. I would trust my own family in his hands, his surgical team, and his nursing staff. Thank you specifically to Kim, Rosi, and Dr. Bates. If you are looking for a place that genuinely has their patients’ best interest at heart, this is it."

"I absolutely love PVPS!! Dr. Bates performed an amazing tummy tuck for me and I’m so happy with the results! Rosie was incredible throughout the entire experience and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and answer all my questions!! I also receive Botox, Filler and Lasers with Kristen Dixon and she does a fabulous job!! She is knowledgable, thorough and makes it as pain free as possible!! Sarah Porter is also a gem of a human- helping me make appointments, answering all my questions and assuring my needs are prioritized. Lastly, Katy Hickox is amazing for my facials and derma planning needs- she’s gentle, knowledgeable and kind!! My confidence is soaring with the help of PVPS!!!"

"I can’t begin to express how happy I am with the results of my breast augmentation. Dr Bates and his nurse Rosie took such amazing care of me from the very first consultation to every post op appointment. Dr Bates did amazing work. I told him what I was looking for and he more than delivered. When I first saw myself I knew I made the right choice with pvps and Dr Bates. I’m 3 months post op and my breasts look perfect. I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. Thank you Dr. Bates and Rosie for taking such great care of me and making me look stunning 😍 If you are thinking about a breast augmentation, this is the place to go!"

"Dr.Bates did and awesome job on my Breast reduction on 7/27/21, He is very professional and listens to what you want. I couldn't be happier with how I look and feel already. He is very gifted at his skill & exceeded my expectations! I would go to him again for any procedure in a heart beat. His office staff are great. He's a great PS and I'm super picky! I had an awesome experience & so happy I choose him! I would like to thanks Rosalie and Beth for keeping me relax and calm they help me wit my fears.. 😀"
"Dr. Christopher Bates and his nurse Rosie Silva are the absolute best! From my first consultation through each follow-up appointment following my tummy tuck and liposuction surgery, they have made me feel like I was their only patient. Their professionalism and concern for how I was feeling following my surgery and the time they spent listening to me is something I've never encountered before in the healthcare industry. Anytime a call was made to the office with questions, I would receive an immediate phone call from Dr. Bates. I so appreciate Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery and each staff member I encountered treated me with such respect. To be honest, I love this practice and I share my experience when talking about my surgery with my family and friends. It's my honor to recommend Dr. Bates to anyone looking into having plastic surgery. You know, plastic surgery really isn't what they do...caring and concern for their patients, that's what they do!!!Debbie Jackson"
