"Every single person in this group has been kind and attentive. Dr Christopher Bates has done an amazing Mommy Makeover for me. I am only 3 weeks post op and love every aspect of this huge transition. I cannot even properly convey how thrilled and life changing this has been for me emotionally and physically. Very highly recommend this group and especially Dr Bates."
"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 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 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!"

"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 have been going to Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery for over 20 years each and every experiences have always been above and beyond in customer service , professionalism and the care they put into every person does not go unnoticed! My latest experience was a face lift with upper eye lid, lip lift along with neck Dr Bates was absolutely the best surgeon ! I appreciate the extra time he took in making sure I was 100% satisfied and I couldn’t be happier with the results…Thank you to Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery for always making my experience unbelievable ❤️"
"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!"

"I really liked all that Dr. Bates has planned for my breast reconstruction. Actually he was the second Dr. I've gone to for a consultation. Let's just say he blew the competition away. I can't wait to get started."
"I highly recommend this practice. I have just had a breast reduction, something I have wanted to do for years. My surgery was performed by Christofer Bates he is very professional and so nice to work with. I am very happy with the outcome."
"My first surgery was a breast augmentation but this second surgery was an implant exchange with lift. After 3 kids and weight fluctuation my girls weren’t perky and happy as they once were , they were sad, huge and saggy. I was a 34F and post surgery I am now 34DD. Dr. Bates and his team are absolutely phenomenal. From the moment I met Dr. Bates he made me feel comfortable and confident he could give me exactly what I was looking for and he did! I didn’t even know the size of the implants I was getting but through their knowledge and technology Dr. Bates gave me the perfect size and was able to give me the look I desired . I feel great and I’m so very excited with the results. My procedure was done in the PVPS clinic, the staff was very accommodating and I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Do not hesitate to visit Dr. Bates and his PVPS team, he takes so much pride in his work and will take care of you even after your surgery to ensure everything is where it’s supposed to be. You will not be disappointed. Best decision ever !"

"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"
