Sono Bello San Diego: Reviews
Fantastic experience: The office staff and all the nursing staff was so pleasant. I am very pleased with my choice to go with Sonobello. Dr Sharaghan was truly amazing
Fantastic experience: I could not have been treated with more care and professionalism. My pre op was smooth and the staff made me feel special. My intake nurse Natasha, was the best and the attending physician reviewing my information was friendly and easy to talk to.
Wendi, thank you for the 5-star review! We're so glad you are happy with your experience with us!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely beyond pleased with the service I received at Sono Bello!!! The staff was so friendly and even more important, non-judgmental. They put me completely at ease, explained everything and led me through the entire procedure. Off you are thinking about this, don’t think too long, it was a great experience and would highly recommend. The doctor and nurses were the best of have ever seen!! So happy with my results!!!

Ann, thank you for the 5-star review! We're so glad you are happy with your experience with us!
Fantastic experience: I truly enjoyed my whole experience from the first meeting through my second follow-up. Very professional, caring, personable, understanding, knowledgeable and made the journey very comfortable. The day of the surgery was done well and I always felt safe, cared for and that they really want to see me succeed with my procedure. I am excited to see my final results in about 4 more months! I would recommend doing it when you are ready, it took me about a year to realize that I wanted to feel much better about myself after losing 80 pounds and now I see a bright future where I want to be in photos and smile when I see myself in the mirror.
Fantastic experience: I recently started my laser lipo journey at Sono Bello and have only completed stage one of my procedure, but I can already see amazing results! Dr. Kashaf Sherafgan has been phenomenal throughout the entire process. She listened to all my concerns, thoroughly answered my questions, and made me feel comfortable and confident from the start. Her skill and attention to detail are evident in the results I’ve seen so far, and I can’t wait to complete the next stage. The staff at Sono Bello has also been incredibly supportive and professional, making the experience smooth and stress-free. If you’re considering any cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Sherafgan and the Sono Bello team!
Negative experience: Horrible customer service. Do yourself a favor and look at their YELP reviews before scheduling anything with this office.
Ashley, we appreciate your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your experience has not been exceptional. We would like the opportunity to help find a solution. Please contact us at [email protected] in our corporate office, so that we may discuss. Best, Sono Bello
Fantastic experience: Staff experience was stupendous! Both "Shy" and Katy helped make my total experience from pre-op through surgery a smooth ride. Very cheerful encouragement with detailed instructions created an overall informative successful result. I am very pleased. Dr. Cooper likewise gave me his attentive medical input while answering my questions intently. Appreciated his expertise and bedside manner. Thank you sooo much Dr. Cooper & assistants.
Positive experience: People are all very nice and comforting is scary but exciting my procedure is in a few days I will post again after
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Fantastic experience: I recommended sono bello for anyone looking for a professional surgeon “ Dr Cooper “ and kind very sweet stuff ask for Shy she’s the best.
Fantastic experience: Everything about Sonobello is excellent. The staff are very amicable, the surgeons are very thorough in explaining every detail of the procedure, and the overall process, from consultation to procedure is carried out in a very professional manner. I highly recommend sonobello to anyone looking to fix those areas that keep you from achieving that summer body.
We're overjoyed to hear about your excellent experience at Sono Bello San Diego. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: Staff treats you like family. Starting from the young ladies at the front desk to the admin personal, and finally the medical staff. Thanks Sono Bello.
Thank you for the positive feedback!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Sherafgan was caring, professional, and made the entire process easy. She followed up with my treatments via phone calls. Overall friendly staff and I'm happy with my experience.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Sherafgan and nurse Shy made my experience amazing. Getting liposuction for the first time is very overwhelming but Dr took the time to explain everything made me felt comfortable in getting the procedure. Nurse shy on the other hand was there with me the entire time while I was getting my procedure and took care. By far the best experience definitelI recommend Dr. Sherafgan and Nurse by far the best duo. two weeks post-op and loving my results.
We are excited to hear that Dr. Sherafgan and Nurse Shy provided you with an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: I first met with Danny and I was instantly in. Sure, I had done my own research prior to my consultation and also looked into another company, but meeting with Danni cleared all my doubts, she answered all my questions, she listened. At my 2nd appt, I met with the nurses and doctor. All the nurses were amazing. They made me feel comfortable at all times. Dr Sherafgan had such a positive vibe and she was very clear and honest about what I wanted and what she could do. I felt well prepared for my procedure; given written instructions and medication to pick up so again I felt I was well prepared for my procedure. Once I went in, it was approve vibes from the nursing staff and doctor. Again, Sr Sherafgan was amazing!! I am at week 3 1/2 and completely in love with myself again! I can’t thank them enough. They also sent me home with instructions and everything I need for post care. My caretaker was also taken care of. Sonobello San Diego team rocks
Negative experience: 1. The consultation was with a patient care employee instead of the surgeon who overpromised what the surgeon underdelivered. 2. I had the same surgery performed three times only for me to have a double chin and my face to end up lopsided. 3. The first surgery didn’t have significant results as one would expect after enduring that much pain and paying that much money. 4. I had to wait six months to get approved for a satisfaction guarantee revision surgery that caused nerve damage and left half of my mouth droopy for at least a week and slowly started to get better after a month thanks to outside treatment. SonoBello did not call me back with any solutions when I immediately alerted them about the situation. 5. After practically begging and waiting another six months, they performed a third surgery to try and even out my face (which I had to pay the surgery fee for again) that still left my face asymmetrical. 6. After begging management to call me back, they never did. But one of their Venus technicians said they would give me two skin tightening laser treatments for free. Which is a joke since two treatments is not going to make my face symmetrical again. 7. Their scheduling is very unreliable. 90% of my appointments got rescheduled due to scheduling conflicts on their end. 8. Their managers are always “in a meeting” and never call you back. 9. The only positive thing about my experience is that their nurses and the Venus technician are extremely nice people.
Angelica, we appreciate your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your experience has not been exceptional. We would like the opportunity to help find a solution. Please contact us at [email protected] in our corporate office, so that we may discuss. Best, Sono Bello
Fantastic experience: My experience was very comforting from the time a walked in to the time I left. The nurse that I saw was so nice had me excited about my surgery I forgot her name but she was so comforting and when I met the surgeon right off the back I knew I would like her..She was very passionate and caring and her energy just made me even more excited about my surgery..My overall experience was amazing..I am looking forward to seeing my results to move on to the next step..5plus plus stars..I am now at my 2 week post op and Dr.Sherafgan did an amazing job. I recommend her hands down.There are so many great things I can say about Sonobello.My confidence is back up and now my journey dont stop.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us.
Fantastic experience: I just come back from Sono Bello for my post surgery Venus treatment and I love it, as always they’re very supportive and professional, they explain very well the benefits and focus on the areas I needed more. Thanks so much to all the staff
Thank you! We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing!
Negative experience: Apologies for the long review, but I feel like potential patients will want to know all of this. My experience here was quite negative. During the initial consultation with Kayla I told her that three years ago I had abdominal surgery of a completely different nature (the details were shared with her, but due to privacy would prefer not to go into those here), and stated that I thought the surgeon may want more detail before deciding on whether or not to proceed with me as a patient. I offered to provide surgical notes, results of followup care, and MRI imaging, but was told he could obtain those things himself. I stressed that I did not want to waste anyone's time with additional appointments or consults until the surgeon had ample opportunity to review these things and either ask me more questions or make a decision on his own. I was assured that this would happen. A surgical date was chosen, and a pre-op appointment made, with the promise that the surgeon would be doing homework on my case and reaching out to cancel if needed. I also paid a deposit, with the guarantee it would be refunded if the doctor declined to proceed. Fast forward to the day of my pre-op consult. Dr. Cooper had not done any of the research on my case that had been promised, and was simply going on the information provided to him by Kayla via text message. Please keep in mind that Kayla is a sales consultant, not a medical professional. This was disappointing, as I had been expecting a higher level of preparation. When we started to discuss my history and the surgery he made an immediate decision to not proceed with my scheduled procedure. He then chose to lecture me on judgment and safety, which I found condescending. Especially as I was the one trying to achieve a safe outcome and good result, and he had was the one unprepared for our appointment. His lack of preparation felt negligent to me, especially as I had been so transparent from minute one. My consult with Dr. Cooper was followed by an impromptu meeting with the practice manager. I believe her name was Andrea, but I could be mistaken. I explained why I was upset, and that I felt that my time had been wasted, which is incredibly disrespectful. Please keep in mind that my initial consult started 45 minutes late, and that I saw Dr. Cooper an hour after my scheduled time with him. This absolute waste of time pre-op consult took over 2.5 hours, and shouldn't have happened at all. She offered to have another surgeon at the practice review my case file the following day, and that I would obviously have the option for a full refund of my deposit. A week later I still had not heard anything about followup research by the other surgeon, and had decided that I did not feel comfortable with Sono Bello in general. I called to ask for my refund, and was told by Kayla that a full refund may not be possible. This is clearly outrageous, but her claim was that I had made the doctor uncomfortable by disclosing 'new' information. This is false. Nothing new was disclosed, and he is the one who elected to cancel. It has been a week since that conversation and I still have not received my refund, so I will be calling Visa to report fraud. I have also left multiple messages for the practice manager, none of which have been returned. In hindsight, I realize that in our initial meeting Kayla was telling me what I wanted to hear, without considering reality. Some examples: I told her I had a scuba vacation planned for three weeks after the procedure. She told me this wasn't a problem, but I have since learned I should not be in an ocean or pool for 30 days post op due to bacteria concerns. I asked for a list of drugs that would be used during the procedure, as I get drug tested at work and wanted to do research on how long they would be in my system. She kept assuring me that 48 hours would be fine, without providing me with drug details. I have since learned that 5 days would be the minimum. Things like this are a big deal, and should not be taken lightly. There is more, but you get the point.
Heather, we appreciate your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your experience has not been exceptional. We would like the opportunity to help find a solution. Please contact us at [email protected] in our corporate office, so that we may discuss. Best, Sono Bello
Fantastic experience: My consultation was thorough, but not clinical...I felt listened-to and respected. No negative comments were made about my body, nor were there any assumptions about what I might want done. I was given detailed information on how the procedure works, the process to prepare, and what recovery will look like. Everyone was so kind! I am excited to get started!!
Fantastic experience: Very nice and responsive helped me with my questions and walked me through all the steps and all the nurses and doctors were super nice and supportive
Thank you, Naomi. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing!
Fantastic experience: I had a Wonderful Experience with Dani, unfortunately I had some an unexpected problem with my vehicle and they were so understanding, I did Receive my Refund and Hopefully one day I'll be able to take care of my person after taking care of my car problem!!! Thank you So Much!!!
Dbdg0499, thank you for the 5-star review! We're so glad you are happy with your experience with us!
Positive experience: It has been everything I expected and everything they have described to me. The only thing I didn't like was sitting in the room by myself for 25 minutes with no phone or anything, it builds anxiety.
Thank you, Carrie. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing!
Negative experience: The office smelled of Marijuana and my consult seemed very unenthusiastic. She squeezed me way too hard where it hurt when she was examining me. I scheduled my appointment at 8 hoping to get to work by 9 but they were 15 minutes late then I didn't get seen until 8:45 am. I was considering the procedure but this encounter made me feel I can't trust my health to this clinic.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of being under the care of Dr. Sherafgan, and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at Sono Bello from my consultation all the way up to my surgery. Kayla held me so much with deciding the areas I needed done and payment options.

Negative experience: I elected for the AbEx and liposuction procedures in May 2023. It’s been almost a year, and I still can’t get over how this company of slimy salespeople scammed me and took away my right to consent to what happens to my body under sedation. I can’t let them do this to other people. I did my homework and research and decided against a tummy tuck because of the 12-week recovery period and hip-to-hip scar one is left with post-op. I did not want either of those and was very vocal and straightforward about it in my consultation appointment. When I asked in my consultation about the scar, I was told it would leave me with no additional scar, they would just go in through my C-section scar. They did go in through my C-section scar, but they made it 3 times the size and it is a jagged incision. I’m left with a horrible, jagged hip-to-hip scar I did not consent to. Per charts in manuals they provide to their patients for the AbEx procedure the restriction on activity is don't lift over 15 pounds for two weeks, then can resume normal activity. No swimming or immersed in water activities for one month. There are also posted comfort levels and days off work charts very far from what I experienced, and I have a BMI 0f 26-27 (the charts provided are based on having a BMI over and under 30) and I have experienced a few surgeries, including this was my 4th abdominal surgery. I was unable to resume normal activity for at least 3 months and my scar wasn’t healed enough to be in water for at least 2.5 months. I also was very vocal concerning summer activities, events, pool and beach parties I had planned in my consultation and was reassured not to worry, I will not have any problem with those activities in the time frame I discussed, I was told I would be recovered in 3 weeks 4 tops. I had to cancel many activities, inconveniencing not only me but my family and my two- and four-year-old daughters. I had no choice once I awoke from my procedure. I had a hip-to-hip scar I was told I wouldn’t have and had to endure a long recovery process which I was told wouldn’t be. This company took away my right to consent to what happens to my body during a medical procedure under sedation. They took my time and my families’ time and left me with an incredibly large scar and weird dents in my legs where I had liposuction, still present almost a year later. If I wanted a 12-week recovery period and hip-to-hip scar I would have elected to have a tummy tuck done and had my diastasis recti repaired, but I didn’t want these things, they happened to me while I was asleep. I can’t let this company do this to other people. The slimy salespeople at this company will lie to you when you voice to them your medical concerns. They will take away your right to consent too. Why? They just had to make the sale?
Erica, we appreciate your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your experience has not been exceptional. We would like the opportunity to help find a solution. Please contact us at [email protected] in our corporate office, so that we may discuss. Best, Sono Bello
Fantastic experience: I’m 4 days post my surgery and I can already see the results. I couldn’t be more happier with my choice to do it at Sonobello. The whole experience was amazing. The staff at Sonobello did a great job with walking me through step by step and Dr. Dao is just as great words can’t express how much I’m Thankful.I love the fact that she was honest and straightforward with me since the beginning. I knew I was at the right place when she told me she was a perfectionist. Don’t think twice about coming here, you’ll be in good hands.

Thank you, Annamae! We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing!
Fantastic experience: Starting from my initial visit with Kayla then to Dr. Sharafgan who is one of the kindest and professional Doctors I have ever met and I am a retired RN so I've met many doctors!!! Ullah, Hannah and Jillian helped me with the actual procedures they were great, kind and understanding. Brittney and CJ are up front and are so helpful and kind. Everything went very well and everyone was patient and kind. My procedure had to be done in two different stages and both procedures went great! I can't THANK everyone enough! A very special Thank You to Dr. Sharafgan she's the best !!!!!
We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience at Sono Bello San Diego, Lisa.
Fantastic experience: The Venus treatment felt great and the staff is very personable. It was my favorite part of this whole experience! The actual surgery was painful but the results are honestly amazing. Just tried on a dress I haven't worn in a long time and it looked so good on me!
Thank you! We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing!
Fantastic experience: Shout out to Sono Bello and the wonderful doctors and staff there. They process and procedure were effortless and I was properly prepped with instructions and expectations for the entire process. The results were worth every bit of that first week's recovery soreness I finally feel like I can wear a bikini in public!! Watch out beaches, here I come!!
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Sono Bello San Diego, Heather!
Fantastic experience: I decided to pull the trigger and went to Sonobello for a consult, from that point forward, every person I met with was wonderful. The Staff, Nurses and Dr Cooper made me feel at ease, always asking how I was doing, do you need anything etc. They call or text you, I never felt like I was waiting for them, the opposite, they're attentive with you. I would recommend them to everyone, and I have. I had a small fix 6 months after the initial procedure and and they accommodated me right away, no questions asked and fixed it. Thank you Sonobello for hooking a sister up and giving me all the confidence I need to rock a bathing suit.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Sono Bello San Diego, Sondra!
Fantastic experience: The team and office is very professional. The doctor that performed my procedure did a great job. I had an outer thigh reduction and my thighs before were not symmetrical but he managed to not make me look like I had a large bite taken out of my leg. It seemed like just enough. My only complaint would be that the patient information I was given to prep for the procedure and after the procedure were not specific to my procedure. Now I’m having the venous procedure done to reduce cellulite and tighten the skin. I still have a ways to go to see results. David is very nice and tries to make you as comfortable and relaxed as possible. I will let you know how it goes.
Thank you for your positive review, Michele!
Positive experience: From the first consultation to the aftercare of my procedures, the staff were very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, caring of my needs and questions. They never rushed me in or out of my consultations. Dr. Cooper was wonderful and very comforting throughout the procedure. Kayla was very supportive of what I wanted done, thorough and friendly. My nurse was exceptional, funny, supportive, and comforting. Overall, a 5 star service from all involved. Update: did not achieve any results of any significance. It’s been 5 months and I look the same as I did before the procedure. Disappointed.
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with Sono Bello San Diego.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Sono Bella now for 2-months for a series of transformative body work on myself. Everything has been first class and timely. I’ve had neck Lipo, hips, waist, love handles, and upper and lower an Lipo and AbEx this week. Again everything has gone smoothly. Happy customer
Thank you for your positive review, Scott! We're glad to hear that you've had a great experience with Sono Bello San Diego.
Negative experience: I'm glad to see the positive reviews - and happy for those people. The procedures look amazing and I might consider doing this... but my consultation did not give me confidence. I did my part and arrived 15 minutes early, filled out paperwork, and I was LITERALLY the only person in there with a receptionist and Kayla in the back. I waited nearly a half an hour past my appointment time and was getting ready to leave. IN addition, they don't validate for parking - just a $2 credit. So her 45 minutes to an hour delay was literally costing me money - not enough that it truly matters but it is the principle. Not professional first impression. I'll get other consults from Scripps etc. and see if there is a more professional experience...if I'm going to pay $20k for elective procedures I expected more. We'll see.
Dana, we appreciate your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your experience has not been exceptional. We would like the opportunity to help find a solution. Please contact us at [email protected] in our corporate office, so that we may discuss. Best, Sono Bello
Fantastic experience: I’m very happy that I finally decided to have the surgery. Don’t let age stop you, you won’t regret it. It’s hard work but so worth it! David is the best with the Venus legacy treatments. Special thanks to Dr Cooper for helping me change my life! You’re all amazing!

Fantastic experience: My experience was nothing but amazing! From the beginning with Kayla who I saw for my consult to the nurses and the surgeon who did my procedure - they were all amazing, nice, professional and with a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend them. And once I saw my results- I was so happy that I cried like a baby! Thank you Sonobello!!

Thank you for your kind words, Debbie!We pride ourselves on providing exceptional care and support throughout the entire process.
Fantastic experience: From the beginning of my consultation with Coleen, she was very informative. Made me feel very comfortable moving forward for my procedure. The nurses were knowledgeable, and I felt at ease during my preop appointment Dr Dao is an incredible doctor. She went over everything with me regarding the procedure very nurturing and informative I felt very comfortable . She went over everything with me in detail during my preop appointment. On my procedure day, I was comfortable didn’t feel anything was an easy recovery and everything was explained to me in full detail. My clothes fit me again thank you to everybody at the San Diego location.
Thank you for your kind words, Laura! We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with our team at Sono Bello San Diego.

Fantastic experience: I have had wonderful experiences with Sono Bello! This third time I ran into some minor complications during my healing process and I felt like Nurse Jillian was my personal angel! She went above and beyond to make sure I had all of my questions answered. She was very kind and concerned every time I reached out to her. The prompt responses provided by Jillian kept me from panicking when I wasn’t sure what I needed to do. She stayed in contact with me as things got back to normal and continuously reassured me when I needed it. Jillian always had a smile whether our contact was in person or by telephone. She should definitely be commended (promoted, if possible) for her unwavering compassion and her comprehensive knowledge that she shared me with to ensure my experience with Sono Bello was a positive one.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We appreciate your wonderful review!

Fantastic experience: My last appointment at sonobello was with David A, who gave me massage he is amazing!!! He is so nice and knowledgeable ,he made me feel so comfortable. I felt like I knew him for years. He represents sonobello very well!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We appreciate your wonderful review!
Negative experience: ‼️DO NOT SEEK SERVICES HERE‼️ The consultants are misleading, they will apply for financing without permission, and when you try to cancel (after being told CORRECT information by the doctor & completely contradict what the consultant said) they will try to hold you accountable for, not just the deposit, but for the entire procedure cost. Do not get wrapped up with this facility if you respect yourself or your bank account! They also display terrible customer service when trying to resolve any issues over the phone.
Skylar, we appreciate your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your experience has not been exceptional. We would like the opportunity to help find a solution. Please contact us at [email protected] in our corporate office, so that we may discuss. Best, Sono Bello
Fantastic experience: It was a bit rushed. Went in for a consultation and had my procedure the next day. I kept joking with the staff on the quick turn around. Everyone was very nice and supportive.
Thank you so much for the stars, Angela. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.

Fantastic experience: This is a review for David who is a practitioner for the Venus Legacy device at Sonobello. David is phenomenal and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is so personable and I’m getting great results under his care!!!
Baba, thank you for the 5-star review! We're so glad you are happy with your experience with us!
Fantastic experience: I’m gonna be simple and easy with this. My experience was professional from the beginning. I’m at two weeks post op and am healing very well. I’m thinking a bit on the faster side. I’ve followed my Dr.’s and the nurses instructions. Bottom line I’m so happy I did it. Lipo on my abs and waist. Just under 2 liters of fat. I’m an aging athlete that is religious with my diet and training. Yet at this age (55), that part just stopped responding. I’ve wanted to get this done for over 3 years and decided to finally do it. Regards
Hello Extreme, thank you for the positive feedback on your recent experience with us. We take great pride in providing our patients with an excellent experience.
Fantastic experience: Oh my gosh I'm so pleased with my experience at Sono Bello. From my consult, pre-op to surgery to my first post-op. Front office to back office has been so kind and helpful. Nurse Hannah and Dr Shersfgan did my surgery and I just say they are a great team. Special thanks to Hannah for the extra TLC ❤️. I'm only 1 week post-op but I love my new body so far I even got a new cute belly button and I love Sono Bello. I highly recommend. I had liposuction and AbEx done
Shontay, thank you for the 5-star review! We're so glad you are happy with your experience with us!
Fantastic experience: My name is Ryan, I am a 58 year old man that had ignored my overall health for years ( not just covid time frame). I had decided to start an eating change to my lifestyle and was making slow progress. 20lbs in a few months. As I continued my healthier lifestyle choices I added walking and light weight lifting to my routine. At one point, I realized that this slow process would be successful but I became impatient with a few trouble spots that were not being affected by my diet and exercise. In order to continue with my motivation I decided to explore the benefits of Sono Bello and what they could offer me both physically and psychologically. I made an appointment with Kayla and we discussed in depth what these procedures could and couldn't do for my current BMI and long term goals. The knowledge and professionalism that Kayla showed during my consultation gave me a realistic expectation of what could be done. We discussed numerous procedures as well as the cost breakdown for each as we mixed and matched the ones that would give me the most bang for my buck so to speak. My main focus as a 58 year old man with a BMi of 38 was my upper and lower abdomen as well as the notorious love handles and back hips. Everything was spelled out financially in layman's terms and I made the decision that this was right for me. My pre op visit with Dr Cooper was enlightening as he gave me even more realistic detail and expectations. Even though I was quoted an overall price for my procedure for 1 operation, we decided to do my procedures in 2 stages, so as to maximize the amount of fat he could remove. At No Additional Charge I might add. My stage 1 consisted of upper and lower abdomen liposuction as well as Ab EX, which for the average person is excess loose skin removal to tighten up your stomach area to your public area. I highly recommend if you have been heavy in that area for a long time. The 2nd stage would consist of love handles hips and lower back hips. All of this for the initial price agreed up at my first consultation. Post stage one results: With the upper lower ab and the Ab-EX it's been 3 weeks and aside from the normal swelling, my experience has been fantastic. You will need extra time off with the skin removal fyi. But, even with the swelling, it has been inspiring thinking about the end results in a few months. Stage 2: I just had my stage 2 surgery and as mentioned above it was smooth, easy and even more motivational for me knowing where I will be in 3 to 6 months. This is not for everyone, but if you have committed to getting your overall health under control, this is an absolute motivator. I look forward to seeing my progress as the swelling subsides in the next few months and cannot thank the staff, from reception to the nurses and Dr Cooper for their expertise and this positive experience. I would highly recommend Sono Bello to anyone that is looking into restoring their self image and ready to commit to a new lifestyle change both psychologically and physically.

Fantastic experience: Courteous staff. I felt very comfortable. I fell asleep during procedure so I don’t recall anything but when I woke up I was home and feeling good.
Thank you, Lucille. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing!
Fantastic experience: San Diego , Ca Sonobello Team from the front to the back, are amazing. I appreciate the patience they had with me and they deliver their service with sincerity. Thank you- MClark
M, wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this excellent review! We really appreciate your business and are here to help if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at the San Diego office is very kind and genuine. I had the trisculpt done on my abs and hips 2 days ago and I cannot begin to tell you how happy, thankful, and encouraged I am. Pre-op was a breeze with nurse Char. They make sure you are heavily dosed but still coherent. The procedure itself had a couple moments that didn't hurt necessarily, but were a little uncomfortable. You can feel what's going on but not in a painful way if that makes sense. Dr. Cooper moved quickly and efficiently to ensure my comfort. Today the swelling is less than yesterday and I don't feel the need to take the narcotic pain meds. Ibuprofen for the win! I know the journey just begun, but I can already see that my love handles are completely gone. I always thought liposuction would be way out of my financial abilities, but SonoBello San Diego made it possible for me to start feeling comfortable in my clothes and skin. Looking forward to my follow up visit! 8/30 I had the Venus treatment done with David today. He made the experience amazing. He was kind, comforting, gentle, and just a pleasure to have performing the treatment. The treatment itself was nice and painless. I will be purchasing more treatments due to the overall satisfaction of the service.
Megan, wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this excellent review! We really appreciate your business and are here to help if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: I love the new offices and David the technician is 5 star. He is gentle and listens carefully. I just love him. Best technician I’ve ever had.
Fantastic experience: Such a wonderful experience. Super friendly staff that help you every step of the way. Dr Cooper was so great I really felt I was ingood hands. Thank you to all st Sono Bello San diego
Hello Suzanne, thank you for the positive feedback on your recent experience with us. We take great pride in providing our patients with an excellent experience.
Fantastic experience: Every step, interaction, and moment of my experience w Sono Bello has been extraordinary. The staff is incredible and the doctors make themselves so accessible to you for any concerns or questions you may have along the way. I haven’t stopped raving about this place since I first started the process. The results are amazing and the procedure itself felt so low risk compared to other options. It is a judgement free zone which I found especially comforting since I was a little embarrassed to need a procedure done. Now, I almost wish I had more procedures to get done because of how much I’ve enjoyed my experience with Sono Bello. Ive never had any cosmetic work done before, but I highly recommend them, Dr Guttikonda especially!
Thank you, Meghan. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing!
Fantastic experience: Jillian was my post OP nurse and she was friendly and professionally. All staff at this location gave been wonderful .
Nannette, thank you for the 5-star review! We're so glad you are happy with your experience with us!
Negative experience: you people are not gonna like this review. The other day when I called to tell you that the garment number two was too small you told me I had to contact the company direct and mail it back at my expense and wait for them to receive it for them to send out another one. Bad business! Here I am laid up unable to go do that at this point and all you could offer me was check my email for the instructions. Plus my other problem was I was experiencing some severe pain and discomfort on Sunday the doctor did call me and Monday so did the nurses but there’s been no follow up since then to see how I’m doing . PS the thing about the garment was that you took no measurements to ensure that I got the right size and here being it too small I have to do the legwork to return it and get another one
Pamela, we appreciate your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your experience has not been exceptional. We would like the opportunity to help find a solution. Please contact us at [email protected] in our corporate office, so that we may discuss. Best, Sono Bello
Fantastic experience: Nurse Shar is the best! She made me feel comfortable and even more excited about my upcoming procedure. She is professional, informed, and the perfect match with Dr. Cooper. Both of them allowed me to ask all my questions. I didn't feel rushed, and I left fully equipped to prepare for my procedure. I can't wait! Update: All went well. I followed up with Venus Legacy and I still have zero regrets! Nurse David is amazing! He's professional and extremely kind.
Elizabeth, wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this excellent review! We really appreciate your business and are here to help if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: The team at Sono Bello San Diego has been so helpful and great throughout my multiple procedures. I would recommend them to anyone thinking about self improvement.
Fantastic experience: The entire team was extremely kind, helpful and attentive the whole way. Even during some delays because I got sick, they worked with me to reschedule quickly and around my schedule.
Fantastic experience: Front desk, nurses, and surgeon are very friendly and comforting. Always asking if I had any questions. My procedure went well and they called me after I got home, including the surgeon. Very satisfied with the experience.
Thank you, Frances! It's wonderful to hear you had a positive experience with us. We look forward to working with you again.
Fantastic experience: My experience here was wonderful. Char & Kristin went above & beyond to make sure I was well taken care of! They are the best! My Dr made herself easily available by phone if I had any questions or concerns, which I thought was very thoughtful. Excellent staff and experience.
Fantastic experience: My experience with The team at Sono Bello was exceptional! The thoughtfulness and care I received from the staff helped me feel confident that my procedure would be a success, and it was. I highly recommend Sono Bello.

Fantastic experience: Nurse Char was amazing! She is always so attentive. I just really appreciate her service.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jayden! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with others. Best, Sono Bello.
Fantastic experience: I met with Char and Dr Sherafgan for my pre-op appointment. They were very personable and very professional. My health was their main concern and they advised me to get a Dr.'s clearance. I've made that appt. and we will wait for the results. Hopefully I'll be good to go! Excited and of course a bit nervous, but I know I'm in very good hands. If you're thinking about exploring the possibilities of this procedure, make an appointment and see how your life can change!
Thank you so much for your kind words, C M. We're thrilled you had such a great experience with us and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with others! Best, Sono Bello.
Fantastic experience: Kayla was my consultant and made me feel very comfortable. She was very knowledgeable and professional. I scheduled my procedure that day. Char was my nurse the day of my procedure and made me feel very comfortable.
Thank you for the review, Cheri! We pride ourselves on having a friendly, accommodating, and professional team and we're thrilled you had such a great experience. The team will appreciate your wonderful review! Best, Sono Bello
Fantastic experience: My experience with Sono Bello was very positive. The tram there is efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. From intake to followup post surgery I was treated with honesty and caring. I did this to get a head start on my health and fitness goals and I am glad I went with Sono Bello.
Krishna, thank you for the positive feedback on your recent experience with us! We take great pride in providing our patients with an excellent experience. Best, Sono Bello.
Positive experience: Received lipo on lower and upper abdomen on 9/16/22. I am really impressed with the results thus far. My tummy is really flat after looking as if though I was in my 2nd trimester. My consultant Kayla was very friendly, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. What I respect the most is that she and her directors was able to reason and work something out with me regarding my rates. The procedure itself was painful to me. I don't believe I was given enough anesthesia locally to not feel anything thats why i gave 4 stars. But overall, I would recommend anyone to Sono Bello in San Diego!
Thank you for your feedback, ImAdriaQian. We're thrilled you're loving your results and look forward to seeing you again. Best, Sono Bello.
Fantastic experience: My experience here was great. Although be warned the procedure is no joke! Definitely not for the faint of heart, but every person I met and came into contact with at the San Diego location was beyond kind, helpful and interested in my comfort and happiness. They had my best interests at heart and did a great job explaining post op and pre op instructions!
Thank you, Lauren! It's wonderful to hear you had a positive experience with us. We look forward to seeing you again. Best, Sono Bello.
Fantastic experience: I had the beast experience ever! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great financing options, and very professional and bedside manner from Dr. Cooper. I am done with phase 1 of my procedures and will be doing phase 2 in a few weeks. I would totally recommend Sono Bello to any of my friends or family. Don't think about it, just go for it!!! We only live once, and this has been one of my best decisions ever. Happy 50th B-day to me!!!!
Happy Birthday, Shawna! We're thrilled you're enjoying the results of your procedure! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with others. Best, Sono Bello.
Fantastic experience: I want to first start off by saying Sono Bello San Diego ROCKS...!!! Nurse Jen G. and Dr. Guttikonda have been awesome. Office staff has been amazing as well. It was an interesting start to my first procedure as it got canceled because of my high blood pressure. I was so excited yet so sad that day. Dr. Guttikonda was very concerned not to proceed with the procedure. I must say that I felt like I was really a true patient of his and not just a number. He told me to take a few weeks and work on lowering my BP so he could safely perform my procedure and get the best results possible. A few weeks later I returned with a lower BP after starting medication and Dr. G was ready for me. My upmost respect to him for that. I'm six days in from my ChestEX, waist and hips lipo and feeling great !!! What a life changing experience. You guys are the BEST.
Hello George, thank you for the positive feedback on your recent experience with us. We take great pride in providing our patients with an excellent experience.
Negative experience: I had an appointment yesterday at 10:15 and by 1115 I am still waiting in the waiting room. Please do not use this business they do not care about your time. And I drove an hour to get there too So I basically wasted three hours of my precious time. I do not recommend this business to anyone else.
