Went in for the velashape and lost 7-1/2 inches during 3 sessions. Yes I work out and am on a diet but thought it was a good experience. The only thing the pricing. There are several other places othering the same for less. I think they should offer 6 sessions for a heavy discount to returners. Becky read more

I was so nervous about getting Botox. Jen was so awesome, she explained everything and made me feel so comfortable. Never felt rushed Jen took her time!! Everyone was so nice. read more

I was not expecting to get any treatment done at Athenix, because I was scared. Walking into the office and meeting with Dr. Azad and staff changed my life. The receptionists, and nurses were very helpful in recommending the services, without trying to push anything on me or trying to pressure me to get anything done. One of the staff members mentioned she also had work done and made me feel really comfortable and her results were amazing. The office itself is updated with the newest technological equipment and clean. I still have a few more sessions of vela shape before I'm done with the treatment. So, stay tune for the before and after pics. read more

Love going to the Pasadens athenix. The staff is beyond amazing. They are always so welcoming and nice. I get my botox done by Jen and she is the best. She listens to exactly what I want and delivers it. Shes always very personable and has a smile on her face. I will definitely always be coming back. I have already told some friends about this place. read more

I love the entire staff at Athenix! They make you feel so welcomed! I booked an appointment and met with Jen for Botox and I'm very happy with my results. I'm hooked and not going elsewhere! I will continue to be a patient because I feel and look great! Thank you read more

Dr Andre Marshall is the new and improved doctor at Athenix. He has thee best bed sided manner I've seen in a while. He is enthusiastic, fresh and attentive. Melissa, the new office manager is also great (not snotty like the old one)! I have definitely recommended Athenix to my friends and will continue to do so. I am impressed with their customer service. And I hope I continue to visit them for all my aesthetic needs. read more

I just wanted to give an updated review about my experience. Despite my issues with my refund, the owner James made sure this was corrected and I just had to wait another week instead of another month. There is a new manager at this location and she was very kind and forgiving about this whole situation which made it less stressful. My surgery was done by Dr Marshall who is no longer with athenix, so ladies make sure you research whoever the new doctor is and the first thing you should look up is if he is board certified (Marshall was double board) But the nurses and anesthesiologist were amazing and made me feel calm, i truely was in the best of hands and can't thank them enough. read more

"An Angel in Disguise!" I have heard this referenced to Nurses many times. All my life I have struggled with the appearance of my stomach and for the the life of me, and no matter how many squats, I could never get a "booty!" After hearing about Athenix on T.V. and seeing pictures of how my stomach and inner thighs "could" look, I decided to go for a consultation. Once I left, I was elated at the idea that finally, my stomach would be "summer ready," look, and feel how I've always wanted it! On December 9th I decided to go undergo fat transfer, liposuction, and body contouring by Dr. Odunze. Well exactly 3 months later, my results have been about 50/50. While I am absolutely in love with the fat transfer, the liposuction and body contouring turned out not at all what I expected! A bad case of "results not typical." After 2 weeks I knew my results were not going to be what I wanted- at all. Dr. Odunze, the MAs, the RNs, kept telling me, "its only been this long (1, 2, 3 weeks, etc), give it time," but I knew it wasn't going to get better. Sometimes you just know! My stomach looks worse than before I even had the procedure and will probably no longer be able to wear a 2 piece or have that "summer ready" stomach I've always wanted. My daughter who doesn't have any idea about cosmetic surgery, but obviously noticed something different about my appearance (for the worse) asked me, "why does your stomach look like that?"I was crushed! Because not only was I completely disappointed and having ''buyers remorse," my own child pointed out that her mommy didn't look the same and had something physically "wrong." I went for my 6 week follow up where Dr. Odunze offered to give me 3 VelaShape treatments. The first treatment was supposed to be done by Roni, but was told she was not available. So not only did I not notice a difference with the first treatment, but I also left with burn marks. My experience every time I walked thru that door just kept getting worse and worse. I had already given up so much hope and confidence because of my experience that I didn't even know why I went back. I went for my 2nd Velashape treatment and it was there that I met an "angel." As an Oncology Nurse I know how important emotional support is and can be. I've had many patients tell me how "grateful" they are, how they appreciate what I did/done for them, and how I've explained "more to them" than the Doctor(s). When I receive compliments and listen to my patients' speak about their appreciation to and for me, that is just what I do. I love what I do and love helping and being there for my patients. Roni, MY Nurse, my "angel," gave me more than a "treatment!" For a moment she was the nurse and I was THAT patient. The one who had tears in her eyes on the table during her VelaShape treatment because of the lack of confidence and disappointment of how it all turned out and the money spent and how this summer, as I walked through the bathing suit aisles, I won't be wearing one. Feeling as if I've had nothing but false reassurance and passive answers to make me feel better. Roni gave me the "breakdown" of what was going on with my body ( and yes I'm a Nurse but plastics is not my specialty), the emotional support, and so much confidence in just an hour; a moments time. I had such a deep appreciation for her, nursing, my patients who say the same about me because now I know what they meant, a changed mindset about me, my experience, and Athenix. She helped me get 3 more treatments and has not burned me once. I heard that there was another Nurse at my job who already had an appointment set here and planned on telling her, "DON'T DO IT" based on my experience. But after meeting Roni, I couldn't! Although I know I'm going to have to get a revision, I told her to go for it!! And that everyone recovers and responds differently. Not only did Roni give me something that money can't buy, she did all that SHE could do (extra velashape treatments) to help me. I hope my results don't happen to my coworker, but I also hope that Athenix will do what's necessary to make things right with and for me. I have many coworkers and friends that ask so many questions and have considered what I've done. As I go for my last, number 6, "vela" treatment tomorrow, I will miss Roni. I do still give some mixed reviews but because of Roni, because of ONE person, one "angel," it's hard for me to really say anything negative. P.S. I can't forget to thank Pat for all her help and patience with me and my off work orders and disability papers and requests...Thanks Pat! read more

This place is a God sent!! It definitely gave me the confidence that I have been missing out on in life. I feel so much better! I feel sexy again and been going out more. I look and feel amazing. My results are incredible and are still not done yet. The staff here go above and beyond. They are so welcoming and make you feel comfortable. They make sure that you get the results that you want. My nurse Vanessa is absolutely Amazing !! She had been so helpful with me in my journey every step of the way. She is so sweet and made me feel really comfortable about everything that they did. She reassured me and made me not be scared of the surgery. Vanessa made sure that I was okay with every follow up that I have had so far. That everything was healing right and I was feeling better every time I came in. I definitely would recommend this place if you want to change your life for the better. Also ask for Vanessa she is the best! Along with the rest of the staff super helpful! Thank you guys I'm absolutely love what I'm seeing so far read more

I Love Athenix. The staff is fabulous! Karissa at the front desk is sweet, knowledgeable, patient and great to talk to. Whenever I enter the office, she greets me with a huge smile and asks how I am doing. She has such a great demeanor and the office is lucky to have her at their forefront. On that note, Ronni meets me in the front after I have checked in with Karissa and escorts me to treatment room, where she administers my Venus treatments. Ronni is knowledgeable and pleasant. She makes sure I am comfortable and my treatments always go smooth!! Thank's Ladies, my experience at Athenix is always a good one that I look forward to because of you both!!! read more

Thanks to Dr. Andre P. Marshall I can finally wear a bikini!!!The staff was very nice. I never thought I would ever be able to look even better than when I was in my twenties! Just make sure to follow all instructions necessary for recovery and you'll be fine. Well worth it and I am so happy with the results Dr. Marshall made happen for me. Thank you again!! read more

Ronni is absolutely fantastic! She is so informative and comforting about the procedures and is great at her job. The facility is also gorgeous and clean and located centrally in Old Town Pasadena. I have only completed my first treatment so far but I'm excited for the results. read more

The results I got after my surgery are wonderful! I had a bbl and I'm completely happy I chose to move forward with the procedure. I went to buy my first pair of jeans to show off my new body and the fit looks amazing! I can't wait to buy more clothes and look at my bbl.The entire staff was very kind and held my hand throughout the entire process. During my preoperative appointment I had sooo many questions and the doctor was great! He answered every question! At my post operative appointments my nurse was Lupita and she was very sweet. She took great care of me! I have raved to all my friends about Athenix and the amazing care I received. Thank you for giving me my summer body. read more

I first became aware of Athenix thru their TV commercial. When I saw that they were offering a Groupon deal on VelaShape cellulite treatment ($99 for three treatments), I decided to give it a try. Making the appointments was easy. The receptionist, Pat, helped me planned them out so they were perfectly one week apart. The VelaShape technician was really knowledgeable and skillful. Each visit took only 20-30 minutes and the result was quite remarkable. It helped diminished the visibility of the lines and smoothed out my skin. At this price, I highly recommend it for cellulite. read more

The RN, Jennifer is very knowledgeable, friendly, and doesn't try to up-sell you on services you don't need. She's awesome and I highly recommend booking a consult with her. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. read more

I was referred by my sister and I have had such a wonderful experience. The staff is so nice and attentive. They make you feel so welcome. Dr. Azad did Lipo on my back and tummy.

I made my appointment for a consultation at Athenix. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Sherri and Melissa who work in the front. They were SUPER nice and extremely friendly, they made me feel very comfortable right away!! I've been to there many times and I've spoken to different people and EVERYONE in this office have been super sweet, really nice, extremely helpful, and very knowledgeable. I had so many questions and they have been able to answer all of them without being mean, rude or condescending! Thank you Sherri, Melissa, Angie, Christie, ChrisLee, Susan and Dr. Ornduze, you're all an AMAZING group of Ladies!! It's been 3 weeks since I had my treatment done and so far so good!! Yeah, it was a bit painful but the results are all worth it!!! I'm very happy and I would DEFINITELY refer people to this office!! Thank you Athenix!! read more

I just want to say im so happy with my results! Dr.Marshal and the nurses were very nice and professional...i highly recommend Athenix body sculpting in Pasadena for any cosmetic procedure... read more

I'm not originally from the area and had no idea where to turn for someone to replace my ruptured saline implant. Like many others, I turned to Yelp and found Athenix Pasadena. I first met with Melissa for my consultation. She was so nice and really answered all of my questions. I was so impressed with her that I booked my surgery and paid on the same day. I was already sold and ready for surgery and I haven't even met the doctor yet. Once I met Dr. Azad the deal was sealed. Like Melissa, he also was very nice and knowledgeable about the procedures that I wanted done. I trusted in Melissa and Athenix & I'm so glad I did. Overall I'm really impressed with the outcome from my surgery and would send anyone looking for cosmetic procedures to Athenix. read more

I found this facility via yelp and decided to give it a try. 6 months ago I came in for a lipo procedure on my lower abdomen to get rid of the baby bump. Dr Odunze did a great job, I have no complaints. The entire experience from start to finish was very professional. Deanna and Melissa did a great job addressing my concerns and made me feel at ease with the surgery. The only downfall is there is a long wait for follow up appointments. However, it wasn't enough to deter me from returning as I will be back soon for some additional procedures. Thank you ladies. read more

Dr. Marshall is absolutely the best!! He is soo nice and really takes the time to listen and advise you. He has completely transformed my body and has delivered results beyond my expectations. I never ever imagined feeling and looking as great as I do and the compliments I get just validate the amazing results. THANK YOU Dr. Marshall and all the staff at Athenix for your kindness and professionalism!! All the staff is super friendly and kind and always available to answer any questions!! read more

Very disappointed with athenix and Dr. Axad for having me approved for $14,000 loan and ( cancelled) two before scheduled surgery. Due to me having sickle cell disease. A refund should have been requested months ago. It hasn't ! I've made several attempts to have this done, it's affecting my credit and a very negative manner. How about the loan companies stop issuing out loans until surgery has been approved or perhaps even performed. No Services ever performed nor merchandise purchased. I would like the loan giving back please and thank you. read more

Been coming here for a few months now for the velashape treatment! PAIGE is amazing! Super friendly and honest with you about the treatment. She always makes it a point to make sure you're comfortable. The establishment itself is very clean and the receptionists at the front are very sweet and professional. read more

I was, I am sure, like everyone else, scared to get cosmetic work done. Going to Athenix was the best decision I have made in a long time. I literally have cried tears of joy. I put my clothes and and dance in a circle saying "dreams do come true" I have never felt so good about myself not even in my 20's. It's only been 6 weeks since my procedure and I already love love love the results. I am so happy I chose Athenix. The staff is wonderful. Lupita was my nurse, she is very kind and helpful. She returned my calls right away and explained all the do's and Don'ts during recovery. I am definitely telling all my friends and family about Athenix. read more

I cannot say ENOUGH about my experience at Athenix! I've experienced first hand the skill, vision, compassion and care demonstrated on EVERY LEVEL of staff- from the Doctors, Nurses, Technicians and Counselors, to the Angel, Karissa, who's in the front office greeting, coordinating, scheduling, patiently listening and offering assistance to help you navigate through such personal and important decisions. THANK YOU! At this point on my journey, I am TOTALLY ENJOYING my VENUS VelaShape TREATMENTS!!! and recommend them HIGHLY!!! The Lead Trainer and Technician knows what she's doing and gets you the results you're aiming for. I'm so happy with the way my body looks and feels! Every time I leave I can see and feel a difference, and as time goes on the lasting effects are more and more noticeable. Thank you ATHENIX and all who make it happen for all of us who are looking to enhance the gifts we've already been given! I give you 5 hearts and 5 stars! read more

I really enjoyed the treatments I received from Karissa and Paige for the Velashape. They were both very professional and explained what they were doing as they did it. I can see results after 6 treatments. I would recommend the treatment and these technicians! read more

I was referred to Athenix by a friend and after my first visit I knew it was the only place I needed to see. My consultation was with Melissa and she was GREAT from the get-go. My lipo procedure was done by Dr. Sherman almost a year ago and I am still AMAZED by the results!!! Lipo definitely jump-started my weight loss journey- I lost a total of 50 lbs! Because of my weight loss, I needed a breast lift so I went back to Dr. Sherman. I was adamant about keeping the same, pre-lipo implant size but Dr. Sherman kept advising against it. He didn't just say "yes" to my wish to remain at my pre-lipo implant size just to keep me happy- he explained the pros and cons I would experience both aesthetically and medically. He was also emphatic about trying to keep me safe (I had a high risk of necrosis). I am so happy I took his advice. I am very happy with the smaller breast size- my figure looks great and matches the look I wanted at the start of this journey. Thank you Dr. Sherman for knocking some sense into me and thank you Melissa for letting me bother you with every concern I had while my body was healing. Also, I BIG thanks to the rest of the wonderful staff at Athenix (nurses, front desk, everyone!!!). read more

Athenix Pasadena, it's the worst place, you make an appointment and you need to wait for more than an hour for consultation. Besides that, the doctor canceled my surgery twice, and on top of that, they don't want to reimburse the money to the bank for a service that they never provide. I have to keep paying for a service that I never receive. Not recommended at all. read more

The staff at Athenix are amazing. The girls at the front desk are friendly, kind, helpful and organized. I've been there several times for VENUS TREATMENTS on my stomach - and I am very happy with the result!!! The treated area looks amazing... smooth, tight, 10+ years younger.. I couldn't have ask for a better result thanks to PAIGE, who did an EXCELLENT job! Paige is also very personable and kind, which is important to me. The vibe at the office overall is friendly, peaceful, professional, competent and organized. Thank you! Anna read more

What a great experience. Very nice staff. Clean office. But I wanted to take a moment and recognize my Wife's nurse: Vanessa. Vanessa went above and beyond to make sure my wife was comfortable and understood everything. After the proceed Vanessa took the time to show me how to care for her and set great expectations. Every time we called after to procedure Vanessa was extra patient with us and answered all of the questions regardless of how many times we had called. Overall a great experience! Thank you again Vanessa! read more

Hi! I chose Athenix for my first breast enhancement surgery in December 2017 and fell in love. Such great warm and welcoming, helpful staff. The Dr. I worked with at the time was very realistic and honest with me about what we could realistically do. Although I would've liked to go a bit larger in size we chose the right size for me and am still very much happy with the outcome :). April 2019 I decided to have microbody contouring with Dr. Copty and am so happy with the decision to do so as well as with the results. Very talented and honest Dr. Again the staff made me feel at home and taken care of. Couldn't have had a better experience. Y'all are the best! As for my most recent Venus sculpting sessions with Ronnie. Phenomenal! I've only had 2 so far and am already seeing clear and visible improvement in my targeted areas. I can't wait to see the end results of my treatments. Ronnie has been able to work with my body and really target appropriately and efficiently; she is also is so sweet! Highly recommend these treatments :) read more

I have the velashape with Paige today. She's the best! She explained the treatment and knew when to turn the heat down. My stomach looks awesome. Thank you taking care of me Paige. I'd 100% recommend athenix to friends and family. read more

Worst place to get a consultation. I arrived 15 minutes prior to my consultation appointment and after sitting for an hour waiting to be called, I left. This place is not friendly and the receptionist are not courteous. I will never go back to this place for any type of work. read more

I recently had a procedure done by Dr Azad. I'm so glad I chose him and his team. I had my consult with Lonnie. She was great. Dr Azad was very patient and made me feel at ease. He thoroughly explained everything and answered all my questions. Surgery day everything went smoothly. Thanks to the nurses in recovery. Met with Lupita for my follow up and she took her time with me. Never felt rushed or that I was asking annoying questions. Every person I encountered at the office always had a smile and time for me. This is a fantastic team!! You guys are great!!! read more

Athenix body sculpting gave me the very best care from start to finish. I am very pleased with my results and I was taking care of very well by Lupita, Dr.Azad and the staff there. I totally recommend them. You be disappointed with the results. I feel extremely confident, with my extra skin removal procedure. I look and feel great! Tolanda F. read more

I first became aware of Athenix via a Groupon deal for VelaShape cellulite treatment ($99 for three treatments), I did my research on Vela and read the reviews and decided for $99 it was worth a try since the reviews sounded favorable and was close to home. At 54, very healthy and fit, going to the gym and yoga 3 days a week with a healthy diet, I just could not stop the onset of lumps, bumps and sagging skin. Non-invasive Vela to the rescue! I really enjoyed my first treatment and enjoy the very personable and competent technician, Vanessa. After my first visit I opted to purchase 9 more treatments in 2 areas (butt and back upper thighs), making quite a large investment in better looking butt and upper legs. I've had 5 treatments thus far and am already seeing results! The treatment is warm and relaxing, the environment clean and comfortable. All my appointments have been on time, as scheduled. For each area it takes approximately 40 mins. Some people have complained of pain, but for me it's like a warm rolling suction massage. The hotter the better! I walk away feeling like I could have gone longer, yet sleepy and recharged. read more

My first time at athenix was GREAT. All the nurses are very sweet and professional especially Karissa! She is so polite and patient to work with. She has great customer service. Makes anyone feel comfortable wanting to go back here for further treatments. I had made an appointment for a vela shape treatment and she really helped me out she accommodated with my schedule and she checked in with me to make sure I feel okay during the whole treatment. Highly recommend Athenix! read more

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! Dr. Azad Vanessa Lupita Tara Jo Jennifer Fran Jennifer RN You all deserve stars! Sorry! I can't remember everyone's name. But you all are amazing! I'm happy with my new body! James Haefner, you have a great team. Thank you! It's been very pleasant to come to my follow up appointments and seeing that everyone is still the same. Treating everyone with great attitude and remembering everyone's names. I'm already thinking about my next procedure. Mr. Heafner, I'm sorry, I didn't return your phone call. You are very busy and I didn't want to bother you. I don't know how to express all my gratitude to all of you. read more

I just love this place !!! What a great experience, I call to make an appt after I saw a groupon for Vela Shape (3 sessions package) they fit me in right away and then schedule my next 2 sessions for better results. The funny thing is somehow I messed up my appt my time. But Vanessa fit me in and she was amazing! Made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. We talk about my trouble areas and what we can do. We used the Velashape for the back of my legs, and I'm starting to see the difference. I can't wait to do more secession and see the final results. If you are booking your Velashape make sure ask to for Vanessa !! read more
