If you are thinking about going to Athenix to get any procedures done, PLEASE DO Not!!! I looked them up and met with Dr. Fellows for an apt to fix my left breast which had encapsulated. While I was in the consultation, one of his nurses started talking to me about any other issues that I has with my body. I have been an athlete my whole life and in good shape. I had a little bit of cellulite that was visible in my outer thighs and a little by my knees. When talking to Dr.Fellows he promises that he could make me look really sexy in a bikini and get rid of what was bothering me. I ended up believing him and going in to get my breast and some liposuction/sculpting done. He also said that I should get some kind of back pads removed to look better. I agreed since he is the expert in his field- something he told me repeatedly! Long story short, it is almost a year later and I am still swollen behind both arms, and my back still hurts and is swollen visibly. And the WORST- I look horrible- my legs are lumpy and have visible dimples and what looks like horrible cellulite all over- the back the front and even half of my bottom. I mortified!!! I just cry when I look at my body now, as I used to feel like I was sexy and had no problem wearing a bathing suit. To add insult to injury, I called him on 2 different occasions trying to talk to him, and never for a return call. I also had washboard abs- it was my best feature, and now my waistline looks like it has a small inner tube of fat around it that had settled there after he surgery. I look awful and feel awful for wasting $10,000 to look worse than I did going in! My breast is also not right- it is lower and off to the left with rippled skin. I am beyond regretful of my decision to trust Dr.Fellows and can't believe he tried to blame it in my genetics, and had the nurse weigh me to see if I had gained weight, which I hadn't! Shame on you Dr.Fellows!!! Just take ownership of your poor job. Like I said earlier- Run Don't Walk away from Athenix- HUGE REGRETS, HORRIBLE RESULTS, and DOCTORS that lie to you!!! DON'T DO IT!!!!! Regretfully Yours, Lumpy and Covering up, and looking to see what I can have fixed by someone else!!! read more

I've been receiving velashape treatments from Tara. She's amazing and I'm finally seeing a reduction in volume in my stomach. I feel firmer and tighter. I love Tara and this place!!!! read more

Super friendly, organized staff - every single person. Great facility, clean, safe, organized. ALWAYS EARLY - not just on time, EARLY. The belly I've had since I hit puberty - even with healthy diet, and rigorous exercise 5 -6 times a week - IS COMPLETELY GONE. My stomach hasn't looked like this since I was 9 years old. You can't even pinch SKIN. My friends and husband are floored!!!! And so am I. Dr Odunze is a Master at her craft ... I will never forget nor be able to THANK ENOUGH the entire ATHENIX PASADENA Staff. THANK YOU. LIFE CHANGED. read more

Jennifer, the RN is so GREAT. She is super friendly and professional. She recommends and makes suggestions on the injectables making sure you look natural and not overly done. She's very knowledgeable and answers all of your concerns. If your looking for Botox or fillers i would definitely come see her, she's great! Thank you Jennifer! read more

Dr. Azad and the entire staff are very professional, friendly, and caring! Dr. Azad made me feel at ease and comfortable both before and after my procedure. My experience at Athenix has been wonderful! read more

So exactly 2 years since my abdomen body contouring procedure. I have to say I'm disappointed. My gut seems to have popped back out and back fat returned. I still exercise and watch what I eat but my belly is almost at square one. I'm still paying for the procedure and back to hiding in cover ups. For the expense and the pain I hoped for a long lasting fat free mid section. Maybe more Velashape would help but yet another expense:( read more

Not worth it. They over promise and underdeliver. The staff is more concerned with sales and meeting their numbers. It's been over a year and my results have drastically changed for the worst. Don't waste your money. read more

The two first things I noticed about Athenix, aside from being close to my home in Pasadena, was upon entering the office, the aesthetically pleasing and comfortable decor of the waiting room, and separate consultation rooms. The second thing I noticed, was the beautiful and cordial female staff. They are both friendly and diverse, which I would assume, would make most clientele comfortable about booking procedures, and comfortable in their own right, in their own skin, for planning whichever procedure they may choose at the time. Melissa, my consultation specialist, was not only beautiful herself, but has a way of instilling a level of confidence, in an honest way, that one needs to feel, before having any kind of cosmetic procedure performed. I had been a client at Athenix a few times, for short spa procedures, since moving into the area a year and a half ago. All good!! The procedure I had fantasized about for almost two decades, (breast augmentation), was one of which some personal obligations seemed to get in the way of, in my past. Finally, my fantasy was brought to reality, in the Fall of 2015, at Athenix, by Dr. Rizvi and his staff. Dr. Rizvi listens, and cares about what it is that YOU want, with regards to results, and does not try to sell you on his own subjective view. His concerns are your wishes, and any health risks that could possibly occur. My downtime after the procedure, and pain management, was completely manageable, and I couldn't be more happy with the results! I fully, and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rizvi and Athenix for any spa and cosmetic procedure that they offer! read more

Hi I dont write many reviews, however, I had an absolute best experience with jen and the front office which is worth noting. She really knows how to inject especially her fillers something you all should really consider when choosing someone. She knows which product you should use and takes her time. I feel very comfortable and trust that I will love and get the look I want. Of course, I will be returning. Thank you jen for your creativity and your gentle touch ;) read more

Athenix in Pasadena has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. I have been treated kindly & with excellent customer service by Melissa and nurse Lupita. Dr. Andre Marshall has been excellent, helping me achieve the results I desired. He is very honest and guides realistically. He is truly gifted in his field. True professionalism by all of the staff. I intend on returning for more procedures in the future. Thank you. read more

Velashape is really working in combating my stubborn cellulite!! I have tried many different types of treatment , like ultrasonic cavitation, lips sculpt , dry brushing, topical anti cellulite cream and many other home remedies, but nothing showed obviously result on my back thigh. I have only done 3 treatments of velashape and I already can tell the tightening effect. Not that it magically eradicates completely, but the result from 3 sections are promising. I bought this treatment via Groupon. Had I have spare money i will definitely continue the treatment to get complete result. The facility is very clean, upscale and with friendly staffs. It's so easy to call to make an appointment. Ronni was my aesthetician who is very attentive and timely. I didn't have to wait for my service which is a huge +++ as many other places make u wait forever! Highly recommended this place and for people with stubborn cellulite should definitely give it a try! read more

My husband and I did a lot of research before deciding on Athenix. The staff is very warm, caring, and professional. I had fat transfer done there a couple of years ago where they moved fat from my flanks and belly to my breasts and I am very happy with the results. It made a major difference in my body. Three weeks ago I had a tummy tuck as I had a lot of extra skin and Dr. Odunze did an amazing job. I am thrilled with the results even with a little post surgery swelling. Hard to imagine it will look even better soon. I would highly recommend any procedure there! read more

I am so happy that I found Athenix. I have been going for about 3 months now and have been receiving Venus legacy treatments with Ronni Chislom. The treatments are amazing and so is Ronni. I'm 32 and have 2 children currently 4 and 5. I wasn't a candidate for a tummy tuck because I did not have enough loose skin, but it was enough for me to be unhappy. After having kids I've learned nothing is the same, but I was looking for something to make me feel more confident in my post baby skin. I had previously tried another skin tightening treatment and was not at all impressed, so my expectations with the Venus legacy were not high. Let me say the results have really blown me away! My skin looks so much better, much tighter, I have lost a few inches around my waist and I swear my stomach is flatter! I am so happy with anthenix, not to mention Ronni who performs the treatments on me each time. I look forward to chatting it up with her each visit. She makes the whole experience very comfortable. I can't say enough great things about Ronni and Athenix, and I 100% would recommend Athenix to anyone looking for the services they offer which is a lot! read more

Athenix is located in Pasadena and I've passed by so many times til one day I decided to give it a try. The first impression of the place was very warm and welcoming just like the receptionist was over the phone while making the appointment. Their services definitely deliver the promises they make. I saw a difference in my skin in just one visit. My nurse Paige worked her magic and my skin looked better and better with each treatment. She's amazing, honest and very knowledgeable. read more

My experience at Athenix was absolutely worth every penny!! From the initial consultation with Melissa to the actual procedure done by Dr. Odunze, I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. O is great and she and staff made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. read more

Everyone at Athenix has been great. Dr. Marshall is a very skilled surgeon with a great bedside manner and great insight. I am delighted with the results. Lupita and Vanessa, the nurses are great and have been so encouraging & helpful. My follow up appointments with Ronnie, are wonderful and the progress is amazing. A great team! Highly recommend!! read more

It has been over a year since I first went to Athenix and am still so thrilled with my results...I am feeling so excited for summer and to get into my bikini! Recently I went back in and got a VI peel and just love my results. My skin is glowing and tightened! The staff was so friendly and all treated me like a queen. I even talked to Dr. Odunze about a breast augmentation this time. I have been considering this for some time and she really set my mind at ease. I had some concerns and after discussing my options with her, she made me feel safe and confident. I am going to go back in to try on sizes and make my final decision on saline vs silicone. I recommend Dr. Odunze so highly. Her work is so natural and beautiful! read more

Went in to Athenix about 3 months ago for a consultation on a breast augmentation.Not only did I get a same day appointment but after meeting with Lonnie for less than 30 min I knew that was the place I wanted to get my procedure done and got to schedule my procedure that day. A week later I went in to meet with Dr. Azad for my pre-op and he was very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable and confident about going through with the procedure. The girls at the front desk Deana and Jo are wonderful! They are so friendly and caring. Every time I came in for a Follow up they remembered me and asked how I was feeling. They scheduled my appointments and worked around my schedule. Since my breast augmentation I have gone back to do Vellashape with Tara and that has worked wonders! And I enjoy my procedure time because I get to talk to Tara whom is very friendly and caring. Dr Azad and his team did a great job my confidence level went for a 5 to a 10. I will be going back! read more

Athenix would easily get 5 stars after my VelaShape treatments -- if they only offered a discount to loyal customers. The facility was terrific and the staff simply lovely; I have no complaints. The issue is with VelaShape -- a procedure that is worthwhile only if one is willing to dedicate hundreds of dollars a session every week for 6-8 weeks... and then "upkeep" every few months year after year. If the procedure was permanent, the initial cost would be worth every penny, but it is not. Athenix, if you want VelaShape to take off past advertised specials, offer a package that keeps your patients happy... and loyal. read more

Dr Ramon Robles is the best! If you come here, he is the doctor to see! He's very honest and cares about making you look your best. He's also very gentle. I had a very bad taste in my mouth from this place before but now I'm very happy! The management is great and they stick to their promise of making sure you are happy. I've been raving about this doctor to anyone who will listen. He is also very quick to call back if you want to speak with him. Id give 10 stars if I could! I look and feel great! read more

Dr. Marshall is AMAZING! I'm super happy with my results and how accommodating Marshall was. Thank you for always being supportive and positive during and post-procedure :) I've always been so insecure about my arms for as long as I can remember, but not anymore! read more

I just have to share my experience, I am extremely satisfied with my experience with my procedure and the staff at Athenix, Irvine Ca. I initially just wanted to do the Body sculpting procedure, however when I went for my consultation, Maribel was very professional and gave me some suggestions on what I needed to do for better results, she was absolutely right!!! Of course she is a professional at what she does and knew exactly what I needed to get the results i wanted, she told me I can do what ever I wanted but since I had 3 kids, I needed a mini tuck to stretch out that excess skin that would be left with just the micro sculpting, I am so glad I trusted her because I know I would have been unhappy if i didn't go for the mini tuck, Thank you Maribel!!! The original quote I was giving was a little bit over my budget and she worked with me so I can get all of my procedure done. I had requested to have surgery done on May 4th, with Dr Saad..WOW!!! He was extremely helpful and explained everything to me, helping me feel at ease, he truly cares for his patients and you can see his passion and dedication for what he does, I have been getting compliments since the 1st day after my surgery, Thank you Dr.Saad! And Everyone at Athenix, I have been treated with so much care and I recommend them for any type of service, I definitely will be using them again. I am attaching some before and after pics, my before pics were taken 1week before surgery, and my after pics are 6 weeks post surgery. read more

I had a Micro-Body Contouring procedure on my abdomen, lateral back and flanks and it has been 10 days. I already notice a difference. in 3 month's time, Doc says I will get tinier and I believe him! In addition to being satisfied with the results of my procedure thus far, I am even more excited to share my experience with the staff. They are all awesome! Kelsey consulted me with warmth and generosity! She not only honored my quote outside a time limited special, she threw in a couple of things as well. Dr. Song was excellent in his technique, answered all of my questions and made me feel like my concerns were being heard. Ana is assisting nurse on my case for procedure and she has been candidly sharing little tips and other procedures that would work great for my body type. Christina was leading nurse during the operation and was so helpful in her service that I felt successfully set up to have a great op day. Christina and Dr Song made me feel comfortable on op day, and op day is not a fun one. Pat has been helping me schedule my checkups and has been very quick to call me when an earlier appointment is available. It can be a very busy office, but they know what they are doing and they are super nice about it. They are also very supportive with their services. I always leave their office elated because I know that the service they are providing me is going to make me look better! Thanks guys! read more

I highly recommend the Pasadena Athenix location to anyone. They have a professional and friendly staff that go above and beyond. I had a trouble area around a former appendicitis scar (that was completed at the Irvine location) and Ronnie Chislom not only treated me with care, she truly went above and beyond to accommodate me and my work schedule. The manager Kelsey was also very instrumental and kind in resolving my issue with the post op trouble area even tho the procedure was done by the Irvine office. They owned the issue and fully resolved everything even tho it wasn't their offices fault. I cant say enough great things about Kelsey, Ronnie and entire Pasadena Athenix staff! read more

The first time I came in for my appointment, they said I am not ever scheduled in their system! I showed them the confirmation email from them then they squeezed me in. The 2nd appointment, I was called one hour before to cancel my appointment but I did not know it till 30 min while I was on my way. Today is my third appointment. When I came in, they said again I was not scheduled! I told them I was scheduled today at the front desk after last meeting. The girl told me she cannot see I have any appointment other than the last one. Yes I can get my parking fee back but who would reimburse me my 1 hour commute time and my baby sitter cost?!! read more

Dr. Azad and the staff at Athenix are AMAZING!!!! I was a quite fluffy size 16 and I am now a much more slender size 12. Dr Azad performed lipo on my upper and lower tummy. I am now 6 weeks post op and I am absolutely in love with my results. The entire office staff are very supportive and kind. You feel right at home here. Dr. Azad has an amazing bedside manner and is honestly awesome at what he does. He knows just how much to take from every area to give you a beautiful natural and feminine shape. I haven't felt this great in years. I was very hesitant to have the procedure and now I am just thankful I did. To regain confidence is priceless and that is what I have gained here oh and I have a great shape. I am actually booking a second round this summer for some other areas but I have every confidence it will be fantastic! read more

I found Athenix watching late night tv... I thought to myself this seems like a interesting way to get my figure back! The following morning I called in and I scheduled and an appointment for a consultation. I was able to come in the same day I called which was awesome! When I arrived I meet Kelsey. She did my initial consultation. After getting a run down of the cost and procedure I was interested in which was lipo, I went home and thought about it. About a month after I decided I was going to go ahead and get the procedure done. I called back to Athenix and spoke to the wonderful Melissa! She is amazing! At times I can be unsure of things like anyone else and had a ton of annoying questions for Melissa. Melissa was able to answer each and every one of my questions with passion and confidence. She made sure I was comfortable with the decisions I was making before proceeding. After all my great talks with Melissa I finally had a surgery date! I was still completely nervous the day of surgery. Melissa greeted me again assured I would be well taking care of by my surgeon Dr. O who is also amazing at what she does. It has been a year since my surgery and I feel and look amazing!!! The healing process was simply and there was hardly any down time! All throughout my healing process Melissa would make calls to check up on me and make sure I was doing well. I loved that! I didn't feel alone at all! I am now interested in my second surgery and have again contacted Melissa again because I had such a pleasant experience with her! I recommend Athenix Pasadena and of course MELISSA :) Thanks guys Happy customer read more

Dr. Marshall and the staff at Athenix are INCREDIBLE. I had my mommy makeover here, and can't believe how in love with the results I am. If you are considering getting any work done, you would be lucky to call Dr. Marshall your surgeon. He's a genius and his bedside manner is unparalleled. The nurses are all incredible as well. Good luck! read more

Guys, seriously! My mom had her tummy tuck done with Athenix! They treated us so well. From the absolute beginning! The front desk would greet everyone and made them feel as if they were at home. They treated my mom with so much care and so much compassion. The doctor texted us to check up on her and ALWAYS replied to us soon when we had any question. The nurse, (I can't remember her name), she treated my mom with so much care and gentleness! Love love love, such a bright business! Hope you guys decide to choose Athenix for your body sculpting! read more

This review is long overdue! After deciding to get some velashape treatments done last year, I found Athenix on Yelp and decided to give them a try. I was a bit skeptical as I have heard mixed reviews about this treatment. When I walked in for the first time I was greeted by Tara and she was so amazing! She explained how velashape worked and was so honest about everything. Needless to say I purchased my package that day and started my treatments ASAP. Just after a few sessions I started to see a difference! I went in once a week consistently for almost 3 months and was amazed at the results! I know it's difficult to be consistent, especially for me being a Self-Employed mom but I would always get a reminder text from Jo Ann (who is also wonderful and friendly) as well as emails with my monthly schedule. The staff is always willing to work with me to reschedule if I'm not able to make my appointments and they always provide the best customer service with a smile! Thank you Tara and Jo Ann! =) read more

I absolutely LOVE this place!! The staff at Athenix, Pasadena is AMAZING, SUPPORTIVE, and ENCOURAGING!!! Dr. Robles is incredibly talented and understanding! Ronni is attentive and thorough when applying the Vela Shape treatment!! I have a few more treatments scheduled and I'm looking forward to the mini getaway every week!! Kelsy Lynagh is managing a great facility and it's great because of the Awesome people working there!!! ...now, what else do I want done? read more

My girlfriend had a procedure with Dr. Azad and I am impressed with the care she received at Athenix. Her nurse Vanessa was extremely kind and made sure she was comfortable throughout the experience. Thanks Vanessa and Dr. Azad! read more

I had an amazing experience from the 1st day I stepped into his office for my consultation. Melissa was such a sweet heart, she makes you feel extremely comfortable and welcomed. The staff took their time to get to know me and what I wanted from my surgery. I didn't feel rushed at all. Dr. Azad was extremely honest from day one. I loved how he reassured me that I did not need a tummy tuck. I had previously heard from another surgeon that I needed one and I quickly said no to that doctor. That's not what I wanted. The day of my surgery I was so nervous because I had never had surgery and I've never been under anesthesia. My nurse was super sweet and caring she helped me relax. All I remember is entering the operating room, scrubbing in, laying on the table and I quickly went to sleep. Once the surgery was done I woke up in the recovery room and my nurse helped me get dressed. The whole process was great. I can't thank them enough for their amazing care. I'm now 7 weeks PO and I love my new booty. It's exactly what I wanted. Bubbly, perky, and natural looking. I can't stop looking at it every time I see my reflection everywhere. My husband loves it. He says it was a great investment and loves Dr. Azad's amazing work. He did an AMAZING job at sculpting my abdomen. It looks amazing and I haven't workout yet. I can't wait to see how my abs will look once I start to workout. Melissa, Jennifer, Michelle and the entire staff is truly amazing !!! Thank You. read more

My wife had the mommy tummy tuck in June 2019 and is very happy with her results. She has not only looked better with her tummy but has also went from a size 6-8 to a size 4. We are very happy with the outcome of the procedure and would recommend their services to friends and family members. read more

So it took me about 2 years and 3 consultation and I finally had my surgery and honestly my only wish that I had it done long time ago because I absolutely love it!!! Can't believe that I could've been enjoying my body this whole entire time!! I don't normally write a rewies, but this time I just have to share with all the ladies that maybe a little indecisive right now. Let's start from the beginning, I had my consultation with Melissa, not only she answered all of my questions she also gave me good discount on my procedure, so I had no more doubts and booked the date!!! My areas were: abs, back, flanks, inner thighs and a fat transfer to my buttocks. About 2 weeks before my surgery I had a preop with Dr Odunze, let me tell you something, she is AMAZING!!! She explained me procedure in details, gave me advices and answered all of my questions. So the day of the surgery I was pretty nervous when I arrived to Athenix, but girls that work there made sure I was comfortable and calmed me down. My nurses were very sweet and attentive. Then Dr. Odunze put some marks on my body and explained in details where incisions are gonna be and she promised to have as little incisions as possible, which is definitely a plus. And I was ready to go. They gave me some medication and I felt sleepy, but still was awake when procedure started, I didn't feel much pain just some discomfort for maybe 10 minutes or so and I then I guess I passed out, because next thing I remember they asked me to get up and I didn't even realize it was over!! All together it took about 6 hours. I don't really remember the first night, I was still under medication, so it went pretty smooth. I have to say I wasn't in that much pain, I would describe it as discomfort, but not enough pain to take any serious painkillers, I just took some Tylenol extra strength, cuz it helped me to sleep better. I went to see Dr. Odunze for my first check up and I almost cried when they took all the wrapping off I had brand new gorgeous body!!! Next couple of days I think were the toughest, I was sore and I wasn't allowed to sit or lay on my back, my neck was hurting the most, but once I got used to sleeping, eating, watching tv etc on my stomach I was ok. I actually went to work on a 4th day after surgery, luckily I have to be standing up all day at work so that worked out for me, the only thing my legs would get swollen and all my bruises went down to my knees. So I would probably suggest taking maybe a week off work. Now its been exactly 2 weeks since I had it done and I feel better and better every day, I would say I'm pretty much back to normal, started driving myself to work, luckily it only takes me 10 min and I have to put a pillow under my thighs and don't put any pressure on my butt. Even sleeping on my stomach is not such a big deal anymore. My butt got a little smaller since surgery, but its normal and its still looks amazing, I just have to keep all the pressures off of it for another 4 weeks in order to keep the fat cells alive. Looking forward to my second check up in 3 weeks with Dr. O and hopefully she's gonna tell me that I can return to my normal routine!!! So I'm one happy girl right now!!! Can't wait for the beach season and planning on wearing bikini all summer long!!! read more

Do you want a friendly, warm and knowledgeable staff? Do you want to feel comfortable and relax? Do you want the best in the business? Well..I'm here to tell you "ATHENIX BODY SCULPTING INSTITUTE in Pasadena, CA is the only way to go. My free consultation with Melissa was heart warning.

After that, I met with Dr. Odunze, what an amazing Surgeon. She's the best!!!!!!! After surgery, I was told I would need after care. Which I didn't believed I needed it....boy was I wrong. My after care was super, I was so glad Jennifer was my after care nurse. She took the very good of care for me. Now... I'm ready for my next surgery. I want to take this opportunity to thank the CEO, the staff, and Dr Obunze. I love you all!!! Tina aka A. D. read more
