Very professional, friendly, and caring staff from the initial consultation to the post surgical exam. Dr. Sobrino was EXCELLENT! His surgical nurse, Sheena(sp?) was also EXCELLENT. They were both very caring and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants this type of procedure! May go back for different areas! Kristen at the front desk is great!!!!!

Dr Sobrino is great at answering any and all questions that a person has. Any patient can walk away being confident that whatever decision they make regarding any procedure will be the right one.

I had a wonderful experience at sono bello !!! I went in for my consultation and was treated very kindly the lady was awesome !!!! She helped me find my target areas and gave me a exact price on what it would cost and answered all the questions I had. Then she was even able to work on my time frame of as soon as possible by scheduling me e pre opp appointment later the same day and then I had my procedure the very next day. My Dr was awesome he talked with me and explained what I could expect was very friendly and approachable. When I went in for the procedure he talked with me the entire time it was being done and explained what he was doing. And after it was over he even called to check on how I was doing. Every one of the staff is very friendly and helpful. They even helped me find a ride to and from the cling for my procedure. I had some bruising and swelling after it was done but nothing like I thought it was going to be. They even give you a garment to wear after your surgery to help make the swelling go down quickly. I was seeing some results with in the first week. I am now almost to two weeks since the procedure and am almost completely back to normal bruises practically gone and the small incisions are almost gone and my body feels great. I am going to start running to doing some mild exercises soon just for those areas that were not treated. They set you up with your consultation then your pre op appointment then you have the operation and have follow ups at one week post op 3 moths post op and 6 months post op. The insidious are really small and hardly noticeable !!!! I expect they will go away completely in the next week or so. There is the down side of no baths for 2 weeks but that's just to help your insidious heal. Just means my showers are extra long. It is well worth the money and the time to get this done it has made me feel unbelievable like a new person. I am already thinking about going back to have my last stubborn area done. You won't be disappointed !!!! The Dr tells you that you shouldn't expect to see results right away and to be active and eat healthy. That you will see some results in 3 months and should see most of your results in 6 months to a year. It all depends on the person but as for me I am seeing results in less than 2 weeks. I can't wait to see where my body is in 3 months !!!! I think I will have my dream body for the first time ever !!!! I am only 23 and have struggled with my weight gain for the last year or so it has been a real problem but now it will finally be better. I wish I had found sono bello sooner and had this done a year ago !!!! The staff are amazing the procedure is amazing and it makes you feel like super women !!!! And even better is when j had the laser lipo my Dr explained fat cells don't re grow the only expand and contract. Witch means I will not have trouble again in the areas he took the fat out in. Witch is great !!!!! I love everyone I have come in contact with at sono bello and my results are awesome!!! I highly recommend anyone considering it to just go for it !!!!! You won't be disappointed !!!!

My recent experience with Sono Bello more than met my expectations. The first pleasant surprise came when I called to inform the office that I could not make my appointment time and they were able to reschedule me for a later time, that same day. Once I arrived at the office, I was warmly greeted and attended to in their comfortable waiting lounge. My consulting representative, Kristina Cox, introduced herself, before hand, to let me know that she would be seeing me shortly; making sure I had everything I needed. The actual consultation was professional but conducted very personably. Kristina provided me with all the information I needed, addressed my concerns, and educated me on the entire process. Her warm and friendly service was truly sincere, never forced. All in all, the experience was a very positive one for me. When considering a service such as the one Sono Bello provides, it is important to feel confident when making a final decision. I feel that I was informed and educated to my satisfaction in order to be able to intelligently make that decision. The following day, I found myself with some additional questions in my considerations. When I contacted Kristina, she followed up almost immediately; continuing to provide timely and knowledgeable service. I would recommend Sono Bello to anyone considering body contouring or facial aesthetics. A simple consultation with one of their skilled providers should answer any and all of your questions and concerns. The office ambiance is very relaxed, and the staff is very personable and professional. At no point did I ever feel uncomfortable. They certainly made it a winning experience.

I'm in my 60's, still working and in good health. Late menopause was making it difficult for me to keep the weight off. Weight gain was very uncomfortable and depressing. I practically starved myself yet I continued to have a roll around my mid section. I decided to do something about it! I went to Sono Bello! For me, it was easy! I was awake through the procedure without pain. I actually stopped by work on my way home to organize a few things for the next day (in case I was feeling bad) The next day, I was well enough to work the full day with my pain medication and undergarment on me I was feeling pretty good (no one noticed I had anything done). The second day was even better. The third day I dropped the prescribed pain medication. I'm very excited at what I see in the mirror so soon!!! Can't wait until I see the full result in a couple of months! Thank You Sono Bello and staff!

It was meant to be - I had an appoint for June 4 - I changed because of work - I went for my consultation- On Thursday May 12. every one on staff is very kind though professional- the way it was explained to me- was so clear that I decided I will give it a try in couple of weeks, or a month the latest. - while I was in my consultation someone else cancelled their surgery for the coming Saturday. OMG I was offered the opportunity to do my surgery in two days - I say yes - the same day I was evaluated and had my surgery in May 14- I have no down time - I am healing so wonderfully- I look so amazing I am glad I did something for myself! My Experience is like no other - it was the best decision I made - I am glad I gave myself permission to have a beautiful body.

I am writing to let everyone know how pleased I am Dr. Sobrino, Hanna and the Sono Bello staff. I came in for a consultation on a Saturday, which was awesome, I did not have to miss work. The front staff was very friendly. After going over my problem areas and financing options with Bethany, she scheduled my procedure for that upcoming Wednesday. I was ready to go!! After a couple days and closer to my procedure day I started getting nervous and questioned if this was the right thing for me to do, but the answer is YES!!! All my nerves went away as soon as I met Hanna, Dr. Sobrino's bubbly assistant. She was so kind and held my hand throughout my procedure. Dr. Sobrino was very easy-going, and I felt at ease talking to him about my problem areas. After my procedure, Dr. Sobrino called to check on me. Since then I've had several phone calls from the nurse and emails from Sono Bello. They all have been GREAT!! Thank you, Sono Bello!!!

I was very nervous and anxious as I this was not something I thought I would find myself doing. KC made me feel very comfortable talking about my "areas of concern". We laughed and talked as if we had known each other for longer than the 30 minutes I had already been in her office. She explained, in detail, all the things I needed to know, and was honest when there was a question she did not have the answer to. She explained that would be something the doctor would need to explain. She understood my budget and explained the financing options and what worked best for me. I was contemplating leaving the waiting room before KC came to get me just because I was so nervous and anxious. She made a world of difference in my decision and the way I felt about my choice to "do something for myself".

My experience was beyond my expectations - beginning with the consultation Bethany is a jewel she explained the whole procedure, and what to expect. The nurse that prepared me for the procedure "Smiling" she is awesome I felt right at home – The Doctor is kind, gentle-and caring. The whole staff is there for you - I was told about the pain and discomfort, however I had very little discomfort no pain, I feel amazing. I went to work 3 days after my procedure!! Yea I feel empowered and renewed I am happy I did it! Thank you Sonobello- The follow up with Christine my post-procedure nurse is very pleasant she is very caring. I hope to inspire whoever reads this note to take the next step to do something truly amazing for you as I did!

As a transgender woman, I am constantly at odds against my body. The gender dysphoria that I feel when I look and see male-like features at times can be very anxiety inducing, especially the blocky like appearance of my midsection. Well, that was the case, until now that is. I recently had my midsection revision surgery on 5-18-16 with Dr. McIntosh and his nurse assistant Cissy, and after only two days a most amazing thing happened to me as I stepped out of the shower. I saw my reflection in the mirror, as I usually do, but this time I instantly saw an hourglass like shape on my midsection. The response my brain gave to such a view was indescribable. No longer did it spark the gender dysphoria, but instead the opposite - a wave of congruency washed over me as I saw, for the first time ever in my life, an actual hour glass shape that looked incredibly feminine... I about burst into tears of joy, but could only manage to sit there and stare and bask myself in the relief seeing such a sight provided me. Aside from the swelling and bruising, which isn't too bad but is only going to get better, my midsection now reflects the inner me for the first time in my life. I cannot even begin to describe what it feels like to finally see such a transformation and feel such congruency. Already the positive impact it has had on my mental health and wellbeing is considerable, and it's only going to get better! I am so very grateful for the hard work and effort Dr. McIntosh and Cissy put into me, and the results are already looking amazing. They did an absolutely wonderful job, and I can't thank them enough for all their effort. They were very attentive to hearing me out about what I wanted out of the revision surgery during consultation, and additionally during surgery being quite interested in hearing me talk about transgender issues and the medical science behind it. So, to everyone at the Sono Bello Bellevue Office, thank you for making this transgender woman more congruent with herself. I have nothing but gratitude for all the hard work and effort the staff has put into me, and I am very excited to see the full results as the months go by. :)
