Sono Bello Body Contour Center - Portland

I cannot rave enough about my experience at Sono Bello. I must admit I went in with a negative attitude thinking that being a chain, the customer service would be terrible. The only reason I went for the consultation was because it was free. I WAS SOOOOOO WRONG!!!!!! The level of customer service was exceptional. From the receptionist, to Shab (who gave the greatest consult...and best of all DID NOT TRY TO UPSELL ME), Dr. Bensimon and the nurses. It was truly EXCEEDED any expectations I had. The follow up to my procedure, again, blew my expectations. Between the phone calls, emails and TRUE individual care. I would recommend Sono Bello to anyone, and already have! Thank you for everyone for being so wonderful! more

Sono bello has helped me better myself and my life, I am motived and so happy to finally see results. I have dieted my entire life yet never been able to maintain or for that matter fen achieve significant results... Well until i had my laser lipo. I have already dropped 2 pant sizes ... No more dreaded muffin top OR back fat, the best part ... Well I'm only 10 weeks out and I know that I still have swelling! more

Sono bello was a fabulous experience, I would definitely come back for more procedures in the future. My mom is thinking of even having this done now! Shab was fantastic and very patient and great to work with. Dr Sharma made me feel comfortable and very informative about all my expectations. The staff here is wonderful! more

I am very pleased with the care I received both pre and post op. Dr. Peterson is exceptional. He is very thorough explaining the procedure and the results to be expected based on body type. I appreciate his care taken in regards to the incision locations which are barely visible. He has wonderful bed side manner, compassion, empathy and professionalism. I would recommend him to anyone having procedures done with Sono Bello of Portland. The only area left to disappear and reveal the new me, is the abdominal area. I have taken this jump start very seriously taking care to exercise as usual, message the areas, eat properly as I always do, and take the arnica which really helps with the recovery. I have lost 12 lbs since the procedure and I am almost to my goal weight of 135 when I can finally lift weights again and turn what remains into muscle. Very exciting for me. I appreciate the thoroughness during the entire process. more

My experience with Sono Bello's staff has been very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend this company to anyone interested in doing business with them. They would not be disappointed but very pleased with the personnel and experience they will receive.\r \r more

The entire team at this office is great! I am very satisfied with my results. Dr. Bensimon is extremely talented and knowledgable I would highly recommend him! more

I am very happy to share my journey as it has been incredible! I have really taken care of myself since I had my surgery and I am very conscious of my nutrition and making sure to exercise 3-4 times a week. I am down 30lbs in 6 weeks and have returned to full activity. I still have some soreness in my hips, flanks but am not taking pains meds anymore. more

Having this procedure never ever entered my wildest dreams and after two years of battling the extra weight and dreading looking in my closet every morning I found myself thinking ?what if?? So, I decided to do some research on the procedure and enter Sono Bello. It was Sunday afternoon and after chatting online with a consultant, I had an in person consultation appointment scheduled for the next day. Feeling, nervous, excited, and apprehensive, I was instantly put at ease from the moment I entered the office. Shab was wonderful; she explained the procedure and options in a way that was both professional and fun. I felt hope for the first time in ages and scheduled a procedure for later that week. Now that I was committed, I was excited asked to be placed on a ?cancellation list.? I received a call after hours from Shab the next day telling me that they had a late cancelation and asked if I wanted to be moved up. I said yes in a flash. more

My experience with Sono Bello has been excellent! The customer service and patient care are fantastic! I so appreciated the 24 hour, 48 hour, and weekly Post Procedure Tips. They were pretty much spot on! Dr. Peterson was so genuinely personable. He was awesome! The Nurse that assisted him (and me) was amazing and her own story was a great inspiration to me. (I believe it was Megan) To sum it up Sono Bello guys have totally exceeded my expectations and I love my results! They have a great team at Sono Bello Portland! more

This has been the best thing that I have ever done for myself! I feel good and have lots of confidence in myself again. I have to thank you Dr. Angeles for his great guidance with diet and excercise and awesome procedure skills and technique. Sono Bello and Dr. Angeles are the greatest! more

Thank you Sono Bello and Dr. Bensimon for changing my life! more

I first heard about Sono Bello on TV in April 2012. I saw the ad many times before I made that first phone call and it was then that I had a moment of honesty, assessed myself, and I made the appointment with Shab. When I was at the appointment I took a deep breath and looked in the mirror and realized I had to make the commitment to do Vela Shape and the Laser Lipo. Everyone was so encouraging. Melinda spoke with me about eating properly to get healthy and fit. Now it is the end of October and I have been shocked with my results. I have lost 12 inches and 18pounds. My husband and I spent a month in Europe and I even lost inches on my vacation. I didn?t expect the program to be so successful. Thank you Sono Bello for helping me reach my goals. more

I was very skeptical going into this procedure but Dr. Bensimon far exceeded my expectations, he answered all my questions and helped my calm my nerves. Shab was the consultant I met with and everything she told me about the procedure and what to expect have been completely accurate thus far. I have very pleased and eager to see my continuos improvements that are to come. more

I had surgery at sono bello about 6 months ago and it was the best decision I have ever made, my results were amazing. My whole experience from the consultation to the post op more than met my expectations. Shab is so great and friendly and made the whole financing and paperwork seem a breeze, the Staff was also great and very professional, I really was pleased with the Jackie she was there with me during and after my surgery and made the surgery a lot better, I must say I did not really experience any discomfort very mild and recovery was very fast. I had surgery on a Saturday and was back to work by Monday morning. My doctor was great, Dr. Sharma knows what he is doing and he is really good, I was also very surprised and felt that he really cared about my recovery when he callled me after my surgery and made sure I was ok and asked if there was anything I needed. I have never had any Dr. call me back after a surgery to check in on me. I would really recommend sono bello to anyone who has been contemplating getting lipo, I was considering the traditional lipo and I am glad I chose Sono bello plus the cost is relatively inexpensive if you are considering the traditional lipo. I LOVE SONO BELLO!!!!! more

I am so happy that I went to here for my laser lipo! Dr. Sharma and the entire team were so nice and caring! I am already down a dress size and it only been one week! I cant wait to see my final results. more

Take it from someone thats been there I started on and off dieting sine my 40's. I has tried every diet exercise, and cadrio dvd program I spent money on all kinds. I just couldn't take no more looking in the mirror. I would catch myself praying to God with tears in my eyes till one day I was sitting watching TV and I would have to day it was a sign from GOD I finally took a moment to check out their commercial and it was like a of of lightening "" Sono Bello Laser Contouring"" I called and made an appointment. \r I would like to start by saying how kind, honest, and extremely understanding Shab is from the moment I sat down for the consultaion and hearing her share with me why Sono Bello Laser is for me, how RIGHT she is, trust her ""I did"".\r The receptionist Melody is always helpful with any questions you may need answers too, also there for you before and after the procedure. I felt from all the girls in the Portland, Oregon office safe and secure that I made the right decision. Can't forget the girls in pre-op and recovery also kind and considerate.I'm still having issues with wearing baggy clothes, but as months go by shape is still in the contouring stages. Its built my self esteem, confidence, shyness, and has helped me realize thats its not me its the negative vibes around me. I can honestly say I feel and look like a Grandma 10 at 55.\r Now going into my 7th month I'm going to work on other areas by exercising , not really much fat in these areas. I'm 55 in august. on my 6th month follow up and I'm wearing my 28 waist jeans and before I was a 34 in Feb 2012. \r If your at a point in your life and cant decide if this is for you, just read and really take in what I'm sharing with you and be the smart one and get it done. Its definately worth it. \r Natalie\r Portland, Oregon more

Thank you to Dr. Sharma and the entire beautiful team at sono bello. I had laser liposuction on my love handles and now I'm going back for my stomach. Everyone is so helpful and amazing I am so happy that I went here. more

Dr. Bensimon and the entire team at Portland are OUTSTANDING! I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I was greeted by Shab as my consults, she is young (well I suppose at 64 everyone seems young!) and drop dead gorgeous... needless to say I figured she was just going to try to sell me but she was 100% honest! She didn’t sugar coat anything and she gave me realist expectations and when I met with Dr. Bensimon he told me EXACTKY the same thing and that when I FINALLY knew I made the right choice! I am only a couple weeks post op , but WOW what a difference already no more belly fat, no love handles! I feel and look amazing! more

My husband and I went to Sonobello in June for a consultation and we can both undoubtedly say it was the best decision that we made. I met with Shab who explained the entire procedure and helped me decide what areas I needed. I had gained nearly 60 pounds over the last year de to stress and felt completely defeated, I didn t even know where to start on getting back to my real self!I decided to have nearly my entire body treated and I am SO glad I did! I have already lost over 30 pounds but everyone tells me I look like I have lost over 50 pounds! The entire staff has been amazing. My nurse Becky helped answer so many questions after my procedure and Dr. Sharma is AMAZING he is the most talented surgeon ever! He listened to what I wanted and he more than delivered! I am more motivated then I have even been, I work out 2 hours a day and eat better then I ever have. People ask me all the time if i am happy and I say happy in an understatement, I cannot even put into words words how Dr. Sharma and Shab have changed my life. My husband is extremely happy with his results and I am so happy that we were able to both share this experience this has brought us closer then ever! Thank you to EVERYONE at sono bello and an extra special THANK YOU to Dr. Sharma, Shab, and Becki! more
