Sono Bello Tacoma

The staff is wonderful and the procedure was successful. more

I was the most skeptical, thought all of these were written by the staff members lol. But I took the plunge and so far so good. I had my surgery Friday, it is Sunday, and I feel great. Can't really tell how I look because I'm in this funky body suit, but I think it's gonna be good. Everyone was nice and supportive. And patient (I needed that part!). It was pretty painless (I'm not saying it didn't hurt, there were a couple times!) but I've had worse at the dentist. I took the pain medicine the first day only, then I've been on Aleve since. I'm going to write more as my time goes.....I was totally skeptical, but so far so good! more

My procedure was on January 28. I had my hips and upper and lower abdomen done. They told me I would notice my hips right away and boy did I. I was warned I would feel the most discomfort the first 20 minutes of my procedure, but I don't recall feeling anything. Dr. Patel did my surgery and he was awesome. The entire staff from my consultation w/ Melody, Dr. Patel and the nurses day of, the receptionist and my follow up RN all treated me so well. They explained the procedure and what I could expect very thoroughly every step of the way. They were in constant contact with me before during and after. I encourage anyone even considering it to go in for a consult to learn more. I'm so excited to see my final results soon and am so glad I did this for myself! more

I had surgery on december 14th and the staff at sonobello was outstanding. From the moment that I went in for my consultaion until now they have been courteous. I had my back bra roll, waist, and hips done. The surgery wasn't painful at work. The pain afterwards was manageable with the pain meds. My surgeon was Dr. Sobel and he was very nice. He was conforting to me the whole time during the procedure. Since the surgery I have all ready lost 1 1/2 inches and am very happy with my results. I look forward to seeing more results. I would recommend any friends or family to this facility.\r more

I had my consultation January 16, 2013. I was certain at that time that I wanted to procede, so Melody was able to arrange my pre op visit with Dr.Potyondy that same day. \r \r I had my procedeure done one week later, January 24th. I had my upper and lower back, upper and lower abdomen and flanks done. I hardly felt a thing! I remember some converstaion and laughter with the staff and Dr.Potyondy and slept the rest of the time! \r \r Day one I was able to see what my results should look like and I was thrilled! I am still dealing with the swelling and tenderness right now but each day gets a little better. I had my first post op visit with Julie RN last week and she assured me I was on track. \r \r I am so glad I went ahead and did this for me. All the staff at Sono Bello and Dr.Potyondy are professional and kind. I could not have asked for a better experience and can't wait to see the final results in six months! more

I had my first procedure in May 2012 with Dr. Sobel (upper and lower abs, waist and back bra roll) and was so satisfied with the results that I scheduled a second procedure with Dr. Sobel on December 21, 2012 (hips, arms and front bra roll), 4 days before my 54th birthday. I didn't even need to come in for my second consultation. I just called Melody, taked to her about what I wanted, and scheduled it over the phone. I knew that I would get the best treatment around, and be satisfied with the results just like the first time.\r \r Dr. Sobel and his nurses were exceptional....again, and made sure I was happy and comfortable. My recovery was so fast I was back at work in a couple days, and back teaching fitness classes in less than 2 weeks.\r \r I am thrilled with the results. With all that ""middle-aged woman fat"" gone, my waist and hips have curves that remind me of when I was 20 years younger. My friends joke that I got a free breast augmentation out of the deal, because with my upper abdominal roll gone you can tell I have breasts!\r \r Everyone at the clinic is incredible. I love them. I would highly recommend Sono Bello to anyone who wants to make that change an feel better about themselves. more

I had my procedure done on January 23rd and still can't believe how easy it all was. I have tried all manner of diet and exercise in the past years but could never get rid of the fat in the areas I had treated. Why I waited so long I don't know... probably fear. Dr. Potyondy and his staff put an end to that right away. I remember very little about that day except for the friendly banter and concern for my comfort during the entire procedure.\r \r From the first meeting with Melody right up until my last follow-up I have been treated extremely well. The entire staff have been friendly, funny, and very helpful. I enjoy each and every one I have dealt with.\r \r I will strongly recommend Sonobello to anyone that wants a recommendation, as a matter of fact my wife is so impressed that she is thinking of getting a little touch up herself. I look forward to each day ahead as my body is transforming to the point I want it and thank everyone at Sonobello for making it possible.\r \r Thanks again, all of you!\r \r \r \r more

I just wanted to give you an update on me and how things were for me from my experience on Saturday (26Jan). I have not one complaint at all! The nurses and Dr. Potyandy were great! I don't remember much during my procedure and hardly remember getting home and that is a plus (haha). The nurse I had that day, and I wish I could remember her name, she had dark black short hair. She was so nice and informative. She talked to me as if we were friends, not like I was ""just another patient."" She made me feel relaxed and comfortable and always kept me informed in what to expect. The only thing I can remember about the procedure is being so cold and feeling wet, I'm sure they did what they had to do to get me warm and dry but again, I don't remember. Dr even let my significant other come back to the room and see the fat they got out and to see me! Again, I have not one complaint at all. My nerves had me a wreck when I came in but your staff ensured everything went smoothly. I can already see a difference in my body (today is Sunday27Jan) and can't wait to continue seeing it! So far, my Sono Bello experience has been great. Thank you all so much in helping me get the body I've always wanted! Please pass this note on to the nurse and dr. (Being a nurse myself, it is always nice to hear good things from patients because a lot of times we only hear complaints!)\r Thank you all so much!\r \r more

For the past three years I have done everything to get the body that I had when I was younger, but after three pregnancies some parts of my body just did not want to cooperate. I have spent many hours in the gym and maintained healthy eating habits but I still had a few areas that no matter how hard I worked at them I could not lose the fat in those areas.\r I was really hesitant to make the initial phone call but after lots of discussions with my family they convinced me to take the step and at least make the phone call. That is one of the best phone calls I have ever made.\r From the very first time I walked in the office and was greeted by Kendra at the front desk, by the way she is wonderful and has a way of making you feel welcomed, I knew I was doing the right thing. The entire process was just one amazing event after another. My initial meeting with Melody was great and she was very helpful in the decision process on what areas should be done. My next appointment was with Dr. Sobel and his nurse and he took the time to explain the procedure and what he expected from the procedure to make sure that we had the same expectations. Dr. Sobel and the staff are AMAZING and make the procedure as enjoyable as possible.\r I am so excited that I picked up the phone and made that initial call. I eagerly wait for the end results that I have always wanted. It has only been one week so the results will take some time but I have all the confidence in the world that they will be everything that I expect. more

I had the most amazing experience with sono bello. Right from the start everyone was so nice and professional. I can not tell you how thrilled I am with the results. I saw my before pictures but decided not to see my three month pictures. i just went for my 6 month follow up. The difference is crazy. I cant get over it. All worth it. Not much down time either. I love, love, love my new body more

Just a lttle over a week post treatment (abdomen, bra roll and hips) and I am so pleased with my results. Dr. Potyondy and the staff made me feel so comfortable and in good hands. I highly recommend anyone contemplating a procedure with a big thumbs up. The results were amazing and my shape continues to transform daily. It has given me the boost I needed to continue with a healthy diet and exercise to transform my shape. THANKS Sono Bello!!! more

My wife and I both decided to treat or problem areas as a present to ourselves for Christmas. From the initial consultation with Melody to the one week follow-up appointment the experience was AWESOME. The entire staff has been very professional and they are an extraordinary group of people that truly love their job and the people they are taking care of! Dr. Sobel and the nurses that were involved in the procedure were excellent and had outstanding bedside manner.\r One of the many things that I really liked about the process from the start is that Melody was very honest and up front on the procedure and what to expect after the procedure was completed. \r It has only been two weeks so at this time it is too soon to see my results fully, I am EXTREMLY happy with the process and highly recommend Sono Bello, Tacoma to anyone who is not fully satisfied with their body and wants to look and feel their best.\r more

I have always been self conscious about my knees and ankles and now I don't have to be! My results are great and the recovery was fast. I had my surgery in the morning and by evening I went for a walk with my husband and was up and at work the following day. I didn't need anything more than ibuprofen for the discomfort and my swelling wasn't severe. I continue to see improvements every week and I can't wait to see what the final result will be. Thank you Sonobello! more

I am 1 week post procedure. From the initial consultation all the way to my follow-up appointment, the entire staff has been extraordinary! They were honest and up front, and genuinely caring throughout the process. Dr. Patel was fantastic and the nursing staff was as well.\r Although it is too soon to see my results fully, I am happy with the process and highly recommend Sono Bello, Tacoma to anyone who is not fully satisfied with their body and wants to look and feel their best. more

I have had an upper and lower abdomin and hip procedure done with Sono Belo in Tacoma and just love my results. It was a little uncomfortable the first night and got so much better as the week went on. It has not stopped me from doing any of my regular duties. My sister is very interested in getting the procedure done as well this year based on my procedure. Every one as Sono Bello made me fell welcome and were extremely friendly with me. I would recommend that anyone should look into this procedure to enhance thier body.\r more

I am 2 weeks post surgery on my tummy, waist and hips. I feel good, the recovery was only 1 pretty sore day and then it got better each day. I was on break from work and had 1 week to recoup and it was just fine. The staff at Somobello is fabulous. Dr Sobel was incredibly comforting and very informative, I left my pre- op feeling great with my decision to do this. During surgery he talks to you all the way through so you feel very safe And comfortable. I am starting to see subtle changes everyday but mostly in my waist definition. I cannot wait until summer too really see it. I have a good nutrition and excercise routine and have for a few years but sometimes that is just not enough. I am so happy with my decision to do Sonobello and highly recommend The Tacoma location and most importantly Dr Sobel. I love the daily and now weekly check up emails as well. Thank you Tacoma Staff!!! more

Just a quick note of Thank you to Dr. Potyondy & the entire staff at Sono Bello. From the 1st step of the intitial consultation thru the procedure and follow up visits their treatment has been professional and caring. Only several weeks out from my procedure the results are truly amazing. I'm beginning to feel comfortable in my own skin for the 1st time in years. The down time and discomfort after the procedure has been minimal. Receiving the daily e-mails and updates on what to expect, as well as knowing I could contact the staff at any time with questions or concerns was greatly appreciated. more

I was impressed with the care and information given from my first appointment. Melody took a call from me and carefully answered all of my questions. Each appointment after that made me feel at ease and understand exactly what I was going to be having done. One week after the procedure I noticed a difference. I wasnt sure if it was in my own head or if there really was a difference until I compaired before and after pics. During my one week post op appointment I was informed I was only at about 2% of what I will be down the line which made me so excited for the final results. I feel more confident and cant wait to have fun trying on new outfits that give me a whole new look. more

I had belly and sides done on Dec 12, 2012. Today my pants slid off my waist and hips down to my thighs! My tummy is much flatter and my waist is getting smaller. I only have a little discomfort now if my clothes are tight. All the staff at the Tacoma clinic were awesome. I will probably have more done later on. Finally got rid of those bothersome side fat pockets. Definitely recommend the procedure. more

I'm 60, and have had liposuction before, both 25 years ago, and 5 years ago, different areas. When I see what can be done with a minimum of worry, time, and sweat (with no lasting results) I am thankful these procedures can be relatively painlessly, get you back on your feet by the next day and do what years of hard work can't. The office staff was warm and welcoming, put me at ease, joked around, and yes, they're all young and cute, but professional, understanding, and generous. Lots of smiles, lots of excellent knowledgeable feedback and information, and Dr. Sobel is the consummate professional. I actually saw their ad on TV, it struck the right cord and right timing, and one week later I had the procedure (upper/lower abs, bra rolls, waist, hips and those gramma arms) and went back for my one week consult today. It is obvious to everyone that I just lost 15 pounds (: more
