Sono Bello Tacoma

I would like to thank everyone involved in my surgery, beginning with Melody who made me feel comfortable and secure enough to schedule the surgery in the first place. On the day of my surgery (yesterday) I couldn t have asked for a better experience. A special thank you to Dr. Potyondy and my nurse, Monyca, who were wonderful. I am writing this on the day after my surgery. As far as pain goes, the surgery itself was on par with a trip to the dentist. I took pain pills yesterday at bedtime and again at about 3am. It is now 10:30 and I have not needed any pain medication since 3am.

Update: I went back for my one week appointment where I met a new nurse, Kelly, who will now follow my recovery to the end. She was very friendly, but more important, she was extremely knowledgable and thorough.

I recently had my 6 month pre-op appointment and I couldnt be more happier with my results thus far. At first it is frustrating not to see instant results as soon as you get out of the procedure room, But I have come to understand that your body takes time to heal! The nurse at Sono Bello gave me copies of pre-op pics and 6 month post-op pics, I can definatly see the differenes. My stomach is flatter and my hips are more defined, no more muffin top! The nurse told me that my skin still has about 6-9 more months of shrinking so the results can only get better from here! Thank you Sono Bello!

First of all I would like to thank the wonderful staff at Sono Bello. The Tacoma office was beautiful and really gave me a warm feeling. Although, this was my first experience I was very nervous. I really did not know what to expect. Dr. Sobel did such a wonderful job I wish I had done this years ago. I had been working out, changing my diets, taking pills and eating health foods. I was on my last straw. I called and I had an appointment with in a week and the procedure was done the following week and its been a month now and I have seen the results. its been a great experience and recommended to any that has struggled like I have for years. THANK YOU SONO BELLO........................

After years of contemplating this procedure I finally went through with it on New Years Eve. I'm absolutely sure my choice to have Sono Bello do this procedure is the best decision I've made. From the very beginning Melody answered all of my questions and obtained the financing I needed to move forward. Dr. Potyondy was amazing before, during and after the procedure. I've had emails, text messages and phone calls from the staff making sure I'm recovering great, giving me advise and answering any questions. A first class team and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone considering this life changing decision.

I have to say that my body is shaping very nicely even though I indulged myself over the holidays! The Sono Bello team was so caring and courteous. Before my procedure, I was so nervous but the team treated me as if I was famous or something which made my nerves calm. I loved the fact that they allowed me to listen to my music as the medicine took affect. The follow up contact has been phenomenal! I've never had this much contact after other surgeries throughout the years which leads me to believe that this team really does care about my healing process, welfare, and emotional state after such extensive surgery. I felt like I was more than a patient; more like a part of their team lol! I look forward to having more procedures done, but only at Sono Bella!

Excellent experience and results. The staff is very kind and professional.

I had my procedure done just a little over one week ago and I couldn t be happier with the entire process! From the moment I went for my first free consultation appointment until now, the entire staff has been welcoming, understanding and sensitive to my needs. I was extremely nervous the day I went for my pre op, but Wendy made me feel comfortable and made the process easy. Dr. Partington was my doctor and he also made the entire procedure comfortable for me. They talked to me during the procedure and informed me every step of the way as to what they were doing.



My pain level was minimal the first couple of days. The swelling is now going down and although my full results won t be noticeable for several months, I can already tell a huge difference in my waist line! The is the best thing I have ever done for myself and if I had to do it all over again? Absolutely, without a doubt, I would.



For anyone considering laser liposuction, I would highly recommend Sono Bello for your procedure!

Love Sono Bello Tacoma! From my very first visit through my second procedure, everyone there has been awesome! Thanks to Kendal, Melody, Dr Sobrino! and Nurses Monyca and Sandy. You are all the best.

Trust the 5 Star reviews!



This is a rare instance when something that seems too good to be true actually is! The Tacoma Sonobello clinic met my every expectation and more. Dr. Sobrino and his staff were so informative and caring, even after the procedure. The calming atmosphere relaxes any jitters that sometimes accompany major decisions. Although I am still recuperating, I could not be happier with my results and the continuous after care from the staff! Hands down, no regrets!

I wanted to look good for my daughters wedding but was completely unsure about the laser liposuction and body contouring, I called Melody and made my appointment. During my consultation she gave me feedback on what would and wouldn't work for me. Once I made the decision to go for it I met with Dr. Potyondy. He told me what to honestly expect from the procedure. Everything went so easy the day I had my procedure done. I even got a call fromt he Dr. to make sure everything was going OK once I got home. In 3 months I have gone from a size 12-14 to an 8. I love my new curves and cannot wait to see where the next 3 months take me. If you are considering this service I highly recommend you call and make an appointment. Everyone is so nice and they make you feel very comfortable.

As a man it is hard to admit defeat. I have struggled with weight my whole life. Mostly that spare tire area that never went away. The staff at Sono Bello helped me see what could be. In one week I had my hips, waist, upper and lower abs done. I am only 2 1/2 into the healing process and feeling great so far about the results. I was surprised to get a actual phone call from the doctor asking how I was doing. I am pleased with Sono Bello and the info I keep getting from them. I would recommend them to people who need help feeling better about their bodies.

That's what I have been asking myself for a little over 6 months now. I had my abs, and thighs done. I like my curves. To me they are who I am. What I didn't like was the lumps and bumps and extras in my curves. I was dieting and exercising with little to no visible success and getting frustrated. Thanks to Dr. Potyondy and the amazing staff at Sono Bello, not only did I achieve amazing results but my workouts yielded better results and I can and do actually love my curves. It took me 3 years from the time I first considered Sono Bello until I had my contouring and I keep asking why did I wait?

I had my first procedure done Sept 9,2013 and so far I am happy with the results I am seeing. The staff has been very helpful and courteous from day one. I was awake and relaxed during the entire procedure and felt no anxiety at all. I was vary happy that the Dr. called me the next day to see how I was doing and if I needed anything.

After my one week visit I received a phone call from Melody to see how I was doing and feeling also.

So far I have been happy with my experience and look forward to my next procedure on the 23rd.

I was very nervous and a little apprehensive about having a procedure done at Sono Bello, especially being a male. However, every step of the way, the staff was very friendly and professional. Melody answered every question I had. I did not feel pressured or like I was being sold something I didn't want. In fact, it was just the opposite. The staff listened to my desired outcome and a plan was put in place to attain those outcomes.



Dr. Potyondy was very friendly, caring and understanding as to what I wanted. I had my abs, hips, love handles, inner thighs, and man-boobs done. During the procedure, Monica and company made me comfortable while Dr. Potyondy worked his magic. It is still too early to see the final results since I am only 2 weeks out from my procedure. I am happy with what I am seeing so far, even with the swelling.



Now it is up to me to continue the process. I really enjoy my cardio workouts at the gym and was glad that I could resume those after a couple of days. I can't wait to begin working with my trainer on my core again, but that’s not for a few more weeks. I am so glad I went to Sono Bello. I would definitely recommend Sono Bello. Thank you. My wife and I are excited to see the final results as they develop over time.

It offers very courteous, timely and professional service in all aspects.

Very professional, great service. They all make you feel at home. Caring. Very happy with results so far. I'm a month in to it. Guys with man-boobs....this is the way to go. I do weight training and still do. Couldn't get rid of 'em. They are gone and I'm much happier. Highly recommend these folks. Remember you have to do your part after the Doc does his. You can't sit on your duff and expect the results you want. Listen to the advice and go for it.

They were great and answered all of my questions and put my concerns to rest. Looking forward to the next steps!

Melody was informative, knowledgeable and just awesome! Sono Bello Tacoma is the best!

My experience at Sono bello in Tacoma WA with Melody, has been a breeze! When I first scheduled the appointment for the consultation I was a little nervious and skeptical about the the whole process, but as soon as I arrived, I was welcomed by the receptionist and the consultant. Melody was very friendly and I was impressed with the readiness to answer my questions, making me feel comfortable and at ease. She was very thorough about the procedure that i was interested in; tri sculp, and she was very knowledgable, gave me professional and personal answers, which were a plus. Most important, I did not feel pressure or rushed to make any quick decisions and I left the place with a high impression. Soon after, I reached Melody again to schedule the procedure, and she has been excellent with helping me plan this. I have been able to reach her multiple times and I could not be happier :)

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone thinking about doing this. I'm so excited I'm finally gonna get the results I've wanted for so long! In just two more weeks!!

I went in to see if Sono Bello was right for me. 3 years ago, I lost 70-80 pounds in less than a year while for the last year and a half I have been dealing with loose skin around my abdomen. The loose skin that will not disappear is a constant reminder that despite the weight I lost that my image is still not what I want it to be. I have been told that the bulge around my abdomen was excess skin from personal trainers, but I wanted a second opinion because I never truly believed them.



I had my free consultation with Melody Sonnenberg (patient care consultant) and explained my situation to her and she told me that at Sono Bello their procedures are used to remove stubborn fat. She told me that she would look at my problem area and tell me if it was excess skin or belly fat. After my evaluation she told me that it was excess skin based on how it felt to her and I would not be an ideal candidate for Sono Bello. She said that I would benefit from a tummy tuck which they do not perform. She gave me a list of plastic surgeons from Bellevue that she trusts based on her experiences.



I went to the Sono Bello in Tacoma instead of the one in Bellevue where I live due to the huge discrepancy in customer reviews. I can see why the Tacoma offices are rated higher based on a consultant telling me that I an not an ideal candidate for their services and that they can not help me based on my goals and I would unfortunately (for them) have to take my money elsewhere.
