Dr. Isaac Yates

My name is Isaac Yates, I have been anticipating joining Dental Town for about 4 years now… and would like to introduce myself briefly as I transition to Georgia from Nebraska! I grew up in Sandy, Utah right at the base of a small canyon. I developed a love for the outdoors because I was lucky enough to have the mountains only a short bike-ride away. I spent most of my upbringing on ski boats and mountain bikes; we have always been Lake Powell enthusiasts (for those familiar with southern Utah). My grandmother passed away a couple of months ago and she always said that “families that play hard together, stay together” so scrapes and bruises from being outside have all become sweet memories for me, and I hope to continue that with my family in Georgia.

My wife, Brianna, and I have been married for 6 years. We initially curbed our “baby hunger” with a dog but during our second year of dental school we had our daughter, Summer! By the time we get to Georgia she will be two and a half! She is the boss of the house, it’s very clear to everybody, and we love her like crazy. Brianna grew up in Utah, spent her high school years in Texas, but returned to Utah for school where we met. She works as the Content Marketing Manager for Mint Arrow while simultaneously mothering our daughter. She is a super hero and I definitely “married up”. I attended the University of Utah for my undergrad and was accepted to Creighton Dental School in Omaha, Nebraska. 

Just before starting dental school I connected with Dr. Schwendiman and subsequently visited the practices over the course of dental school. I have met many of you already, you may have seen me poking my head around, and it was very clear to me early on that this was something that I wanted to be a part of. I noticed a tangible attitude of positivity and ambition, something that I didn’t find at any of the other practices I had been exploring. I am beyond excited to be a part of the team and I hope to contribute to your lives.
