“I had a great experience with Sono Bello Portland. Dr Caton and her team were so amazing and they made me feel so comfortable even though I was very nervous going in. The procedure itself was actually very comfortable, even being awake and seeing everything. They make the room comfortable with low lights and music in between the periods that they’re not doing the actual procedure.”
“It was a good experience meeting with two ladies. They made me feel so comfortable even tho I was bad mouthing my own body. They explained the procedures so well I think I understood them. They never rushed me, they never pushed me to sign anything but gave me the entire cost on paper. I appreciated their honesty. Thank you for meeting with me and explaining so thoroughly.”
“Excellent service, polite and super bedside manners. I felt that they listened and focused on my questions. Even went above and beyond to help with parking issue - super sweet people working as a team. It was a wonderful experience. Something that’s rare these days. Feeling that my procedure will be the same experience!! Love this facility and faculty in Portland, Oregon!! 💕”
“This is a welcoming place. I first met Barbie who laid out my plan of attack. She was kind and very informative. I showed up for my first procedure with Dr Caton. She came in and made me feel instantly at ease. (Which is hard to do as you are standing basically naked with just Sono Bello underwear on). She was informative, kind, understanding and very encouraging. All the people who I have worked with at this office have been amazing. Bethany, Jenna,Vanessa, Miah and Taylor all stellar and encouraging. I have now been into Sono Bello for two procedures and I completely trust them. They have gone above and beyond. Never once have I been embarrassed or ashamed of where I started. They only see me as beautiful and see my heart. Thank you Dr Caton for believing in me and being in my corner. You are amazing.”
“I absolutely 10/10, hands down recommend Sonobello in PDX for all your body contouring surgeries. I’ve had one of three stages completed so far and they made it so easy to get through it. Dr. Kang, the nurses, and all administrative front of house staff are phenomenal. If you ever thought about having trisculpt liposuction treatment then Sonobello-PDX is the place you’ll want to go too. Book a consultation and the consultant will help you plan for all of the areas that you’d like to have done. And help support you through the process to achieve the new body shape that you desire and to once again love the skin you’re in. Thank y’all kindly! In health and happiness, SAB, RMA”
