If I could give No stars I would. J was hounded on my phone for a promo offer to come in for a consultation for months. I finally agreed, confirmed and arrived for consultation only to end up waiting for over and hour and 35 minutes. I WAS SCHEDULED AT 9 AM. I CALLED DOWNSTAIRS LOBBY TO SEE IF THEY COULD COME up N IN RLEVATOR AT 9:04 THE RECEPTIONIST SAYS, "NO I CAN'T LEAVE THE FRONT DESK". I UNDERSTAND (NO prob, ok) I'm claustrophobic. AnyhowI hound someone else and fit to front deskI.D. in hand at 9:06 ,,NO ONE WAS IN SITE AT ALL! they just told me they could not leave front desk....I wait 5 minutes patiently with a smile. Then shows the guy, long nails, blue scrubs and asks me my information, hands me an iPad and confirms me to fill out and come bk. I come back almost 10 min later and J pad did freeze at one time..He then says well it may be a little wait we have 1 consult person. 4 other people arrive after. I was 1st kind you) and at 10:30 I go back get to ticket validated to leave. He said I took too long filling out iPad once I arrived. I tell him this was a punishment because you all were not here when I arrived and had me waiting an additional 5 min. Then took all other appt after me. Instead of rescheduling me in the very beginning. J waisted gas and time. What was the purpose. Is this a prequel to his I will be serviced in my post and pre-op.. Sono-HELL can hv it read more

I had an appointment for a consultation . I arrived 10 minutes late, but had called and was told that was not a problem . When I arrived I was told by the male receptionist that I couldn't be seen that day because I was supposed to arrive 15 minutes early. He was the one I spoke to on the phone! His attitude was haughty and condescending and he just didn't care that he was speaking down to me in a very impolite manner. If this is who Sonobello of Belaire, TX wants to represent the first impression to their potential clients, then I would not trust the company to have the best interest of potential new clientele. I Do Not recommend Sonobello and suggest to find another more reputable and respectful company. This man needs a lesson in manners and customer service. I walked out and will not return to ANY Sonobello locations. I give 0 stars!! read more

Sono Bello Houston - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had my procedure done in April off last year(2024). I'm here to research other clients experiences bc I am not totally happy with mine. I'm not pleased with my upper and lower abdominals. My stomach is still big; not as big as before, yet it's not the results I was looking for compared to the amount of money I paid and compared to the many before and after pics of others I have seen. In addition, my stomach is lumpy. I expressed this to my surgeon on my final/ 6th month visit. She explained that the fat I'm seeing is visceral fat beneath my muscles. She also recommended I do abdominal exercises. I don't know. . . I didn't spend money to exercise, I spent money to get the results. Although I am not happy with my big lumpy stomach, I am pleased with the removal of fat from my upper back, waist and upper arms. Finally, I would add that the doctor and staff were very accommodating and I felt that I was in good care. read more

Hoodwinked by a non medical person SELLING a medical service. The doctor lacks empathy. Results average.

My results are not what I expected. My initial consultation was with a non-medical representative, she's the sales person. Questions asked were my area of concern, she did not provide recommendations but charged me for the areas that I chose as my procedure "package". I now have new areas after my recovery that I am very self aware of. I discussed this with the surgeon on my last visit and she said that it's due to my body type and that I looked better than before & showed me my before pictures. I'm so insecure and unhappy. read more

I definitely recommend it. I went for a consult, before I left I was approved for financing and had my appt for the laser within days and I was in and out. No problems.. All of the staff is awesome very assuring and helpful. The only thing that I see that bothers me is, I still have the knots on my upper abs. ‍ it's been 5 months.. maybe it takes longer. I don't know read more

Just wanted to update since my last post . I still love my results and wish I would have done it sooner . Exercise and eating right really makes a difference in your post surgery body . I gained 10 lbs and it made my stomach look look really crazy so I started back eating right and back in the gym 5times a week and my amazing figure is right back . So please do not think it's a miracle surgery if you're not willing to do the work to upkeep the finished product you will not look right . I also noticed when I gained weight it moved to my arms butt and hips . I don't mind the big booty and hips but the arms is a no go . So I stress pleaseee make sure to maintain your new body . One last thing , the surgery at Sono Bello is for people closer to their goal weight and just need a few nips and tucks . If you are of a larger size . I would look into getting Lipo with a full tummy tuck . Check me out on IG @finebodfitness To see my results . read more

Replied to an ad and connected via Chat.Gave then Height, Age, Weight, BMI, and Medical History for a specific treatment area and asked them for a range ($1,000 to $12,000 or whatever) before traveling a long way for their "consultation" (or baiting or high-pressure pitch?) Obviously could not pay $50K or more so why waste my time and expense or theirs? The REFUSED to give even a range for people they treated unless I go there. THEY Ended the Chat when I pressed them for it. BAD if not UNETHICAL business practice. read more

Have you noticed they don't allow reviews on their own site? And those that are on their site are all 5 star? Buyer beware. In my case, I requested some estimated pricing. They kept trying to get me to come in for a consultation. I told them I wasn't planning to without estimates. They kept pushing. Text messages, emails. Requested personal information over the phone. Kept insisting I come in. Even after I made it clear I needed estimates. They're very aggressive. read more

Sono Bello Houston - Before and After Laser Lipo - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had a virtual consultation in Tx with Sharolette I Virtual Consult Specialist, on 12/12/2022, Sharolette told me she would send my quote the same day(12/22/2022) and never did, until I emailed her and advised her that she never sent me my quote. I had further questions about my quote that I got after I had to request it from her, I sent her text messages and emails and was told that she never received my my messages., even though my emails say they were sent. She never called me back after I sent several messages and emails asking her to call me. Here is One of her responses to not calling he back, that I copy and pasted from my email " Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Tuesday, December 13, 2022, 5:28 PM, Sharolette wrote Hello Shameka! I do apologize for the delay! I didn't receive any messages from you! I am available now if you are free or we can schedule a time tomorrow! What would you like to discuss?" She emailed me, and still to date(12/30/2022), has never called me pertaining my quote. She has yet to follow up with me regarding my quote. She tells you she is going to do something (ex: call you, send your quote, etc), and doesn't. She either is not going to do it at all or it will be a delay as she says. I wouldn't put my trust in someone who doesn't follow up, who lies and who doesn't keep their word when they say their going to do something. She left me her phone number to text or call if I had questions or concerns, but when I texted or called, she never responded to my messages nor callled back. She makes the company look bad, unprofessional, inconsistent, rude, and appears they have bad service overall. read more

if you live a long way as I do, you might want to rent a hotel close. if you call 45 minutes ahead and you may be late they will reschedule.

My only regret is that I did not do this sooner! I've always contemplated getting lips but hesitant. But when I saw that Sono Bello was offering a free consultation, I knew I had to do it. My deciding factor was my consultant, Morgan Leigh. Not only did she normalize my feelings of inadequacies, she told me I was beautiful no matter what. My surgeon was Dr. Thiet. I cannot say enough good things about her! Her bedside manner was excellent. She was very nurturing, reassuring, and realistic - which I appreciated. My surgical nurse was Veronica. She was gentle and patient with me! My post op nurse was also a Veronica - she was also great! I am very happy with my results. I've been assured and comforted by staff at Sono Bello, especially the front desk receptionist Amanda. I would definitely recommend Sono Bello to my friends and peers. Not only are they affordable, it is the best gift (improved self-esteem) you can give yourself! read more

Very disappointed with the wait time. I decided not to proceed with my consultation because I've been sitting in the waiting area over an hour after my appointment was supposed to begin. read more

They are blocking my review in google....I just had my procedure Wednesday 07/19/2023 at around 830am. And it was the worst experience of my life. It felt like I was part of a saw movie. I have a very high tolerance for pain. I have a ton of tattoos, but that procedure hurt like hell. I did my research, and it was supposed to be painless. I don't know what happened. I was crying during the entire procedure and shaking. The doctor never stopped or gave me a break. I sooo wanted to quit several times in the middle of the procedure. I will NEVER go back for anything else with Sono Bello, and I will NEVER recommend this procedure to anyone. PLEASE DONT DO IT!!!!!... Follow up as of today 07/21/2023 Friday. Seems like my body absorbed the lidocaine that was given to me much quicker than other people. So I felt everything after it wore off. It was incredibly painful. I know it's rare, but this is something that should be a warning to patients before getting the procedure done. And nobody told me this could happen. I was under the impression it was supposed to be painless, according to the research I did beforehand. I know they probably want me to remove this review, but I will not because people need to know that this is a possibility that this can happen to them. And I DO NOT want anyone to go through the pain I went through. If they don't warn people beforehand, then I will! read more

So, the Director of Patient Care, Kasey Andar contacted me and was very concerned with my experience at SonaBella, after a long conversation and her expressing that she and her organzation emphasis on patient satisfaction, she offered me resolution that we both were happy with! Now let me say this, please read and understand their contract, also know that they will automatically deduct the funds from your account so if your not sure about when your funds will be available to complete payment don't sign, just take your pricing ask for time limit on the price they give you and go from there. I want to totally express my appreciation for Kasey And as and her understanding... read more

I have had a wonderful experience and it all started with Jessica ... the best consultant in the business .... Amanda the receptionist is wonderful and always helpful even when we are in a frenzy to see the doctors The nursing staff has been wonderful to work with and answering any and all questions ... and the most important review is for Dr. Atune ... words cannot describe if you want to see a curve in your waistline he is the Doctor for you read more

I went in for consultation for Sono Bello Houston, I did not meet Dr. until pre-op and procedure was scheduled the following day. Decided not to proceed based on a variety of factors. They are now refusing to give me my deposit and I have hired an attorney. Contract states five day cancellation but a reasonable decision can not be made until you meet doctor, in my case, that was the day prior. I felt rushed, told procedure would not address my concerns and logically it caused me to not want to proceed. I decided to cancel and find a more appropriate procedure and setting. They are not considerate and this is purely a business. There was little care expressed by the doctor. I am now fighting to get my money returned. Please be careful. I could say much more about my experience but will not. read more

So I just got surgery done on Saturday the facility was great everyone was genuinely sweet while I was there I had did a few videos of reviews so that I would remember while I was on the medication right before surgery to get relaxed. I was awake the whole time the medication did relax Me it did not knock me out but I was totally relax it did feel like I was a little drunk and My surgery went great. I got my back bra row my upper and lower abs my waist and e/x done. it's been two days .the surgery was about 2 hours but prep time is about 2 hours . Just making sure the medicine starts to really relax you .the first day I came home ,right when I came home it was still numb.once I got home I started to start to feel the pain I try to be strong and not take any narcotic for the pain. and just take Tylenol extra strength and that was painful I do suggest to take the stronger stuff first the prescribed me narco which that stuff knocks me out. theni lower dose down.i had some Tylenol 3 so I took that to lower dose I am already starting to drive around by the second day I already was able to take my bandages off I was bruised that much but I already can start to see my Waist forming .the tiny holes the spot of entry's are almost completely dry. am still swollen only in the area that they cut me for e/c it is bruised in that area ,but everywhere else it's just tender and sore. Dr atun was who preform the surgery and Andrew was my nurse and they were the bomb. At first I was going to only do bra back roll front bra roll upper and lower abs. But when I asked for the doc advice . He said ok stand up I will give. You my advice . And he said had a look and was able to tell me his advice and it was exactly what I was thinking. So I ended up. Doing back bra roll waist upper and lower abs with e/x to tighten all my loose skin. I had have 3 kids and the loose skin has been bothering me . I'm not very big my weight is 126 and 5 ft tall. so I just wanted a sculpt of my body . And this was the perfect Decision for me. I also want to say when I came in for my postop everybody was very nice and sweet I felt very comfortable I feel very excited to come back. When I get pictures I will update ! I wanted to make a review sooner but I was a bit tired but I'm recovering fast and I'll be up and going real soon. Adding to my review , I just went to my 1 week post op , I have to say they are on time you don't have to wait long . And so so friendly . Andrew the nurse during surgery also cam in and check on me since he was there . Kat the rn was the one who check everything she is Energetic super sweet and I just Gorgeous. She Thoroughly explained all my questions and beyond explanation on how healing process. Guys remember to drink a lot of water I drink almost 2L day which I believe help me in the healing process . I'm healing really good By this point all my incisions have closed up . At this Visit They where are you re-check your measurements and retake pictures are so at this appointment they ordered your stage two garments that will be sent to your house. Iv lost so far 2 in under bra , 2 inch in waist and my hips are still swollen so I'm 1/2 inch bigger from the e/x incisions . In the beginning reading all the reviews there are good ones and bad ones but you really have to take everything into consideration and what your results you want to have .also you have to be comfortable with the way that you are now with extra contouring help. This is how you see the best results your looking for .this is a Contouring and shaping procedure ,And not a weight-loss procedure. Overall, I must say I am very pleased with the work that was performed and I wish I had done it sooner I would do it again in a heartbeat no regrets. I hope this helps anybody to are on their journey wanting to make themselves look better and feel better. read more

I had upper and lower abs done over a year ago. I'm still waiting for someone from the Bellaire office to call me back about a lump of fat left on my upper abs that I cannot get rid of. It shows through my clothes and exercise is not helping. They asked me to write a good review before I had my refinal results. The staff was so nice at the time and promised I'd have really good results, so I wrote a good review. I wish I had waited. This is the first of many comments I will add until I hear from someone. 10/04/18 Still no call from anyone from Sonobello. I've noticed that the lump left on my upper abs affects my digestion. It acts as a tumor and makes me feel nauseous and full for a long time after I've eaten. It feels like it goes much deeper that the surface. Please choose another option than sonobello. You'll be happier and much more satisfied. I still haven't gotten my gift from them either. They promised a sorry little gift certificate if I referred someone. I did refer a client to them. They're not satisfied either. read more

Cannot say enough about the doctors and staff at SonoBello Houston! They have changed my life! I highly recommend them and will continue to use them for any cosmetic surgery I may need. read more

I must say, this is the best decision I have made in a long time. Dr. Stepenhorst and his staff/assistants were very nice and knowledgeable. Dr. Stepenhorst is the best and he knows what he's doing. He will make you comfortable during and after the procedure and my results are EXCELLENT and I'm continuing to see results everyday. read more

Pressured sales pitch, when I decided that I didn't really want to finance and give my self time to save, I was told I couldn't get back my $995. I was like ok well that was my mistake, when do I get back the $200, I was told they will have to approve that because I'm not cancelling for medical reasons. At what point I'm I not obligated a refund because I want to make a better choice financially. So I basically paid $995 for a consult. Although contract states you can cancel within 14 days. They also signed me up for care one credit without my consent read more

Great atmosphere, Friendly and Professional staff. Went in for a consultation, was never pressured or upsold on any services.

I know its a late post, but its been 5 yrs since I had my procedure, the only thing I lost was 8000.00 dollars. and scars, I would not recommend them. read more

Everyone was very helpful and they walk me through the process every step of the way.

This is what great service is. My doctor (Dr. Madjidi) done an amazing job fixing my belly and my scar from 29 years ago. All the staff is friendly, they remember who you are, and always listen to your wishes, hopes, and concerns. I will be back for more work on other areas. Thank you all. read more

Brittany is so AMAZING!!!! She's extremely helpful and patient. Brittany guided me step by step through my entire process. Keeps me up-to-date on anything that I need to know. I recommend Brittany AND this location to anyone looking for real genuine care at affordable prices. read more

My experience was amazing. The consultation with Melody was very informative and she provided all the details of the procedure, expectations, and financial options. She followed up within a couple of days and I was able to schedule within a few days. I even received a reduction for a weekday and last minute appointment. The office staff is very professional and prompt. Diana, the practice manager, is both professional and enthusiastic. The nurse and surgeon made me very comfortable and the procedure went as explained. I highly recommend the Houston facility and exploring the minimally invasive procedure. I wish I would have done this sooner! read more

After losing 60 lbs I found out that all my hard work only gave me 1/2 the results I was looking for, until I heard about the services offered here, so I called and went in for my free consultation with Stacy Brennan. She is absolutely amazing !! She took the time & put in the EXTRA effort on going over what would be best for results I wanted. Stacy is VERY professional, knowledgeable, kind, understanding, has the patience of a saint and most of all is a FANTASTIC communicator whether it was emailing back and forth or playing phone tag Stacy ALWAYS got back to me as promised with the answers to any and all questions I had asked. She was EXTREMELY helpful and patient as I was getting my monies together, by rearranging and/or changing dates to get me in because she knew how important having things done was me. Stacy has gone well above and way beyond her duties as a consultant, she really cared about helping with the next stage in my new me, an EXTREMELY genuine person who does indeed care about me as a person, I was never treated as "just another customer/patient." I HIGHLY recommend Stacy Brennan as your consultant, I'm sure the rest of the staff is great too but Stacy is PHENOMENAL !! read more

From the moment I had my consultation I was so excited. Thd day of my procedure I was so nervous, but my nurse was sweet and she told me what to expect. I was awake, but very relaxed. My doctor played music and it relaxed me. Afterwards, I came home and slept. The next day I took a shower and when I took off my garment I was shocked! My shape was back! I hadn't seen that waist or flat tummy since my 20's before children! I am on week 2 and I am so happy and feel so great! I don't worry about my tummy poking out over my jeans, buying big shirts to hide it. Can't wait to see my final results. I can't thank Sono Bello enough! read more

I love my new jawline! Everybody was so nice and professional. Though I have a faint memory of hearing the liposuction, I did not want to have anesthesia so this was a great option for me. It didn't ever hurt. So glad I did it! read more

I had my procedure on March 17, 2017. I could not be happier with my results. Dr. Stapenhorst is the BEST in the business. Then there is nurse Danielle and the two wonderful front desk assistants Raven and Amanda. Everyone in the office was very professional and kind. What I love about the office most are the follow-up calls and continuous emails. I am so glad I decided to use Sono Bello to jump start the new chapter of sexiness! I cannot wait to see my final results. read more

I really like this place! I lost 10 lbs in a week barely any bruising at all! Dr. Theit is very funny and knows what the heck she is doing. I recommend them very much. read more

Trina was and has been extremely difficult, and made this experience hell... I was gonna be a repeat customer now just want this whole thing over with and as long as they have this admin issue I will not return.. I will take my chances elsewhere for sure... Woodland,TX I do not recommend doing a consultation with them unless you want to be lied to and scammed. They rush you in and out and call you difficult if you ask questions. I am hoping the procedure goes better than the months of back and forth with quotes. Trina seriously needs customer service training and because of this I will not do the remaining 25,000 with them. I am a actress that is coming out this summer and really needed this work now I feel suckered in a quote and scammed out of my original needs. If I did not have this deadline I would cancel but they keep 1000 if you do so you lose and sure I will be treated as a difficult customer becaus of false notes. Absolutely has been a horrible experience so far hoping the procedure is better than the admin. I will recommend our agency not to send anyone to this location for consultations for sure. I believe the admin is the most important part and this location has failed in so many ways and doesn't seem they will change this soon so lost me as a customer after this for sure. read more

I had a pleasant consultation experience at Sono Bello. Jessica was my consultant and she was very knowledgeable, thorough and honest. I was considering abdominal lipo, however it was determined that a light diet regimen would be more appropriate for my body weight. I appreciate the honesty when they could have easily accepted my money on false pretense. I also admired the cleanliness and promptness of the staff. read more

I am posting this because I wish I had known these things before I got involved with this company. First, if something comes up in your life and for whatever reason you have to cancel and you have already paid some if not all of your procedure. They keep 1000 of that no matter what. Second, if you have to reschedule because life happens there is a 10% fee. So if my procedure was 10,000 then to reschedule would be 1000. Lastly, I went into their office to cancel and request a refund the women was very nice and told me she would submit it that day and it would take 7-10 business days. That was two weeks ago and I finally found out that they actually submitted it 5 days later then she said she would. This does not mean the people were rude. They were not rude, but if I had known before what I know now I probably never would have even considered it. read more

At this time I am journaling my experience and will do a full review at the end of my 6 weeks. What I can say though, is that the employees at the Houston facility are really nice. Amanda is awesome, kind, personable and wealth of information. She lets me ask her 1000 questions and has never gotten frustrated with me. Stacey was great as a consultant and I felt pretty confident that she was giving me the best advice as far as what my body needed to look great in the end and not over sale me. Veronica was my nurse for the procedure and she took great care of me as I was nervous as all get out, but she made me feel like I was in good hands (she also told me I was in good hands as well). And Dr. Stepenhorst is nothing short of amazing. He is nice, friendly, but also straight to the point. When I had my consultation with him, he gave me great upfront answers and I didn't feel like he was trying to sale me a dream. He gave realistic answers that I felt comfortable with. Right before my procedure, he asked me if I had any questions and answered what small questions I had. During the procedure, he was a man of minimal words, but he got the job done and now I am on to recovery. My one week post-op appt was nothing short of amazing with Adrien. She was awesome, down to earth and gave me realistic answers about what I was experiencing since the surgery. I was complaining about my compression garment being too tight and she assessed that it was too small and gave me another size without hesitation. She was out the door and back with a new one before I could even say anything. I can say that I am not impressed by many people, but the staff at the Houston Sonbello has excellent customer service and so far I am pleased with my results that I saw immediately. You can also tell in my before and after pictures as well that this was the right choice for me and worth the money spent. Now my recovery process has been a little shaky, but I will come back and give a full review of that after my 6 weeks is done. Thank you Sonobello! read more
