Dr Dragotti is a master. I still can't believe my results. He's super professional. He and the staff were so kind. They were available for all my post op concerns. I had minimal pain, and I was traveling for work after two weeks. My scars are healing beautifully. I had lipo and tummy tuck. If you're thinking about getting this done, I'd highly recommend athenix and Dr dragotti!

Horrible experience!!I was just trying to get a consultation for skin removal and before even asking or knowing of background of the I just lost over 200 pounds and have lots of extra skin, they assumed I wasn't a good candidate because I was not under a certain weight again without meeting or seeing me and tried to sell me on a weight loss shots over text messages, so inappropriate.

This is going to be a long review. Im about a month post op and just feel so happy with the results so far. My confidence is back. My energy is boosted to get out of the house and do more things. Didn't really realize how much I held myself back just from feeling uncomfortable with body. I had an extended tummy tuck and lipo on my back. I came in last year for consultation. Set my date for aug 25th 2022. Which gave me time to do research on post care and what supplies I will need for recovery. Yes they do give you a list and they also call you and let you know everything you need to do to prepare for your big day. Everyone that I interacted with was so nice, pleasant and caring. From consultation to post. Even when I called just to ask questions to make sure I'm doing everything right. So I came in for consultation for mommy makeover . Breast lift and tummy tuck. So I was so excited. I have always had love handles even before kids. My ex tried to kill me and ended up leaving me with a lot of scars and a crooked belly button thought it was unfix able so I gave up hope. I didn't really know what to expect. So I was still nerves to meet with the Dr. I met with Dr Dry weeks before my procedure date. I let him know that due to rainy days (gotta take care of kids and home first) I was unable to do the lift. So we are only doing Tummy tuck. He let me know what procedure would be the best for my body. Ended up deciding to do the extended tummy tuck which wraps around the back and gets rid of the muffin top love handles, a scar on my side and fixes my belly button. I was so excited. Dr Dry was super nice and I just felt like I was in good hands. Day of procedure!! Came in at 7. Was taken to the back to go over post op care with Anna. I think I was so nerves I felt like I was about to faint. But she took care of me. Dr Dry came in and did all his lines on me that he needed. And than off to the room and I was out. I just can't say enough how much I appreciate Dr Dry. Very thankful for him working with me from traditional TT to extended TT He went above and beyond what i asked of him. He really exceeded my expectations. I look great I feel great. Thanks to the whole team. Im still healing so I know it will only get better .

In November 2021 I had my 360 Lower Body Lift (with Liposuction/Muscle Repair as well!) done after having lost 80 pounds on my own a couple years prior! They removed 10 lbs total off my body from front, sides, and low back/bum. Dr. Dry performed the procedure and I'm absolutely blown away by what they were able to do!! Each day the swelling goes down more and I can better see the results! As far as the work my surgeon was able to perform on me is nothing short of amazing; his attention to detail shows- my body looks and feels like everything I dreamed it might! My belly button is so cute, my scar is fading nicely, and I'm blown away with how good I feel with recovery so far! My experience was so good from start to finish at the actual facility: I felt so well taken care of, and never felt like there was anything I wasn't prepared for. All my questions were answered, and everything that happened during recovery I had expected because I'd been told before to expect by the nurses and my surgeon. When I got nervous prior to surgery day they also constantly reassured me that everything would go according to plan(which of course it did!). I just couldn't have asked for better staff! I'm so so happy with how my body looks and feels, I could never have imagined it looking the way it does!!! Worth every penny, and I'd do it all over again! I can't wait to see how it all looks in 8 months once I hit my year mark! I will 100% be returning to Athenix for any future procedures!

Before/After MBC (Micro-Body Contouring Procedure)

Jason F.

My experience with Athenix (at the Seattle/Bellevue location) was nothing short of FIRST-RATE in every conceivable way imaginable. My first points of contact, Leslie (the Practice Manager) and Toccara (Assistant Manager), were warm, welcoming, and truly eager to help zero in on what my particular body concerns were, listen to my goal/s, and - with the help of my incredible surgeon, Dr. Gavin Dry, achieve them. My main area of interest was in their Micro-Body Contouring (MBC) procedure. I'm 5'7" with a naturally slender build, and had been concerned about the amount of increased fat around my stomach and flanks that I had gained, not just during the Covid pandemic, but also after 38 years of life in general. My normal weight is around 145-150 pounds. Pre-Athenix, I was at 160. For a guy who is naturally slender everywhere else, it felt odd to have that tummy fat and side fat. I felt, at a certain point, that those areas didn't "match the rest of me," and always knew I'd do something about it eventually. And in June of last year, I finally went for it. I had Micro-Body Contouring performed on my full upper and lower abdomen, flanks and lower back. On the day of surgery, I couldn't have been more pepped and excited; there had been some anticipatory build-up to that day, and it was cool to know it was finally happening, and I'd walk out of Athenix's offices - that day - a physically different person, with the kind of body I had more in mind for myself and one that I felt even more confident in. The entire support staff, from the nurses, assistants and my anesthesiologist, were similarly warm, welcoming and professional. They had just a perfect balance of bedside manner and playful humor that really helps keep your spirits up and in a positive zone for the day of my procedure. On a side note, this air of positivity and cheeriness pervades all areas of Athenix, from when you first walk in the door, to the consultation and examination rooms, through to OR and other areas. As far as the Bellevue location is concerned, I believe that is a direct result of the way Practice Manager Leslie Taylor runs "her ship," and the good energy really does flow from the top and down, to every single person who works there. It's kind of an unavoidable side-effect of just being a patient there -- and that's a good thing. All pre- and post-op procedures were followed by the team, and by myself, including the use of a compression garment, applying lymphatic massage, and applying a specialized (Arnica) gel to improve both the duration and results of recovery. At my initial consultation, I was told what told what to expect vis-a-vis these pre/post-op procedures, and what the overall recovery experience would be like, so I was prepared. And I'm happy to say, recovery really proceeded along without a hitch, with healing and results increasing and perfecting with every passing week. Which brings me to what a lot of potential patients might be wondering about most -- the results. To put it very simply, I could not (and can not!) have been happier. Dr. Gavin Dry has an incredible eye, attention to detail, deft skill when performing the MBC procedure, and equally important - he's a great listener with impeccable OR and bedside manner when engaging and working with his patients. His work, his expertise and care, helped craft a brand new me - that was, just as I had hoped, with a flat tummy and sides that "matched the rest of me." I couldn't be happier, more excited, or more grateful to Dr. Dry and the entire team at the Athenix location in Bellevue for what they've added to my life to boost my self-image and body-confidence. Body-confidence, self-image and self-esteem are critically important, whether you're a man or a woman, when it comes to considering a body-enhancing procedure. We can ALL benefit from that kind of confidence boost (who wouldn't???) and I'm so, so glad I chose Athenix!

Loose skin after losing 125lbs on the left, and 8 weeks post op from a 360 body lift on the right

After losing 125lbs on my own, in October 2022 I had a 360 body lift with muscle repair with Athenix as a recipient of their #AthenixGivesBack campaign. My surgeon, Dr. Dry, removed just over 9lbs total from my body (front abdomen, sides, and back) and repaired my abdominal muscles that were 6cm separated. I'm currently 8 weeks post op, and I'm blown away by my results. My front abdomen is so flat and my belly button is healing well. Going into the conversation with Athenix I thought a tummy tuck was all that I'd need. Athenix recommended the 360 body lift, and I'm so glad they did! In the end half of my loose skin that was removed came from my back--pulling up the skin on my outer thighs and on my butt too. I'm so incredibly happy with my results, and I'm so thankful for the Athenix team. My patient care coordinator, the nurses, anesthesiologist, my surgeon--everyone has been phenomenal to work with.

Honestly, the doctors and staff at Athenix in Bellevue are world class. I went to Dr. Dry to have excess skin/fat removed on my hips/thigh after I had disappointing results from a mommy makeover (done by a surgeon in Fort Worth, TX). From my first consult with Athenix to now everyone has been so incredibly helpful and supportive. Living in Texas, I was nervous to travel to Washington for surgery but the team at Athenix made all of the pre-surgery easy. The team was extremely communicative and they always answered all my questions quickly. I was impressed the day before surgery when the anesthesiologist contacted me and this made me feel much less anxious for my surgery day. Everyone was so kind the day of surgery and they've continued to be incredibly helpful post-surgery as well. Dr. Dry is simply in a league of his own when it comes to post-weight loss surgery. He is a true artist. After being disappointed in the results of my first surgery, I honestly didn't have high expectations for what was possible but what Dr. Dry was able to accomplish has been absolutely miraculous. He removed 5lbs of excess skin and fat from my lower body and the incision is already so incredibly thin and small (and healing well). Honestly, there's no other surgeon or surgical center out there that does the amazing work that Athenix does! They're simply the best.

Lipo and bbl preformed by Dr. Dry. I'm still swollen.

Not off to a good start so far. I promise to update if it gets better. The culprits of the rocky start: lack of pre-appointment phone call with a reminder of the necessary OTC restrictions coupled with ignorant front desk staff members and clinicians. Upon finding that I had taken Zyrtec, they told me that it was a sun-sensitive drug and that my appointment will have to be rescheduled. Meanwhile, I asked if they had a list of drugs for me to take home, and they had none. They were just rattling drug names off the tops of their heads (I could mention blond, but that would be unfair). They had no medical degrees that I could gather, and their only responses were that the onus was on the patient to call and ask them for clarification. Now being that my appointments were made over 6 weeks ago, I was lucky to have remembered the date/time of my appointments given that no reminder call was received! So when all was said and done, the appointment was rescheduled and I went home. And of course, being the analyst that I am, I have now two lists that don't claim to be comprehensive but are from reputable web sources. Nowhere on the over 20 pages of drug names is Zyrtec or Cetirizine (the antihistamine drug in Zyrtec). OK...here goes nothing... -- Update: these people do care that their rating was poor (was 1 star). I have received phone calls from their HQ in California as well as the Bellevue location. When I went in for my appointments, they went swimmingly because I decided not to fight people who don't know for certain about which OTC drugs are sun-sensitive yet have the control over whether or not I go through with my appointments. As well, they were very courteous and tried their hardest to change my perception of their business. The result of the treatments for which I had purchased the Groupon was non-existent. I find out afterwards that the Groupon was meant to be a hook for you to buy more services. I will not discuss the merits and detriments of such an arrangement, but will just mention that since I did not choose to purchase more treatments (Groupon was 3 treatments and according to them, it takes 6-8 for results to be visible), I should not have expected to see any improvements. Of course, I am welcomed to make an appointment and have them assess whether or not I am a good candidate for other treatments. But since I have to spend more money (significantly more money) for the high probability of no results, I think I'm going to pass. read more

I'm updating my review. I'm only pushing it up to 3 stars because I haven't gotten anything fixed just yet, but they did reach out to me and offer to get my stomach fixed for half price. I'm very happy they cared enough to reach out. Half price is still pricy for me as a full time student so I can't fix it just yet, but it's great to know I don't have to pay full price all over again. I'll be scheduling in the new year, so once that is complete I will update my review again! read more

I was very skeptical of this procedure when I first visited Athenix. I originally came into the clinic with a daily deal coupon for a Vela Shape. My esthetician Katie was awesome and made me feel so comfortable and not out of place as most clients are women. I chose to not continue with Vela Shape as it didn't appear to be a fit for my body. I then decided to go for a micro-body contouring consult and met with Elle, who is awesome. I was concerned about a facility that offers discounts for Vela Shape but quickly put those feelings aside after touring the facility and the openness from the whole staff. Elle answered a TON of questions and didn't seem to mind that I had so many. I then made an appointment to come back and meet with Dr. Precht who again answered a ton more question. Between both Dr. Precht and Elle, I must have asked 100 questions and they answered them all honestly without a sales pitch. Elle was so great to work with and addressed all my concerns over the phone and email. She worked really hard to make sure I felt good about the procedure. I feel like she went above and beyond with talking about the finances. Toccara is another Atenix employee that went above and beyond. Whenever I called she made sure my concerns were answered and that I was at ease. She shared personal information of her own that really helped me feel comfortable. On the day of the surgery Denise, Katie and Bonita were great and put me at ease for the procedure. Dr. Precht was in an upbeat mood and her confidence got me excited for the results. The procedure was close to painless and almost relaxing with great music and laughter from the Dr. and nurses. I received a follow-up call the next day and it was very appreciated to know the entire Athenix staff is concerned about my well-being. It's too early to see results but can notice a difference already, next day. I look forward to sharing the full results. read more

Almost 3 weeks out from micro contouring on inner/outer thighs and hips/sides. I'm very pleased with the results. I am not suddenly skinny, but I got rid of those humpy saddle bags and muffin top. More discomfort than I expected, but I was reluctant to take the pain medication after the procedure, (I'm sure that would have helped!). Couldn't have been too bad since I went to Amsterdam six days afterward! Moved pretty slow for that first week, though. The staff is incredible and they definitely make the experience more comfortable. The whole office is great and Dr Precht is very reassuring and professional. I would definitely recommend this procedure if you have stubborn problem areas and want a great experience, as well as great results! read more

They were bother very courteous, professional and very eager to change my experience. I have seen a very genuine effort to increase customer satisfaction.

I had microbody sculpting done in June of 2015. I spent about $7000 and I am bigger than I was before I went in. I have lumps in my stomach of fat that looks worse. I have contacted them and they only told.me to spend more money. I created a post on their fb page and was contacted by a regional manager and she seems nice and I am waiting to see what they offer me. I am prepared to file a lawsuit as well as contact the media and write my honest review on every site imaginable if they do not make this right. Nobody has called me to talk or offer me anything other than an appt to see the doctor and telling me to see my PCP. Which I have and that has been ruled out.

After months and months of actively researching and going to consultations I decided to give a phoenix my business. From the beginning it was the best experience I could have asked for. My consultation was not rush I felt like she answered every question honestly she did not try to upsell me she honestly told me what areas I couldn't could not benefit from body sculpting and she was honest about size of breast implants based on my body. They even went as far as asking the doctor ahead of time if he would recommend a lift or not. I felt completely supported every step of the way I continue to feel supported and I had the procedure in July 2014. The results are absolutely amazing. The body sculpting was a little bit more painful to heal from that I expected but the results are subtle and dramatic all at the same time. The doctor did such a good job with my mini lift and implant that nobody questions if I have fake breasts they all think I have natural amazing breasts. I healed very quickly from the BA & I feel that the results have just continue to get better. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Athenix!! After reading tons of reviews and visiting several other offices Athenix is hands down my favorite place to go for Botox and skin treatments. I don't normally take the time to write reviews but I have never had anything but positive experiences there! Staff is amazing; from Toccara at the front desk to the consultants all the way up to the management! Kari did my most recent Botox procedure and she is nothing short of wonderful.

UPDATE!!!!! I don't even know where to start! Numerous emails, text and phones calls with this place and I would give it zero star if possible! From the front office staff to the back nurses all the way to the CEO! This place is all about getting your money and not about your health!!! They were amazing when they were trying to get me booked for surgery and $10k out of me... COMPLETE NIGHTMARE after surgery!!!! I wouldn't tell my worst enemy to go here, ha! I wouldn't even recommend it to my ex husband! If anyone, ANYONE is thinking about putting their lives and money into Athenix, email me, message me FIRST!! I will tell you exactly how they do things and I'm willing to send you screen shots of how they treated me! I'm still dealing with recovering after antibiotics after antibiotics! Do yourself a favor, look else where! I wish I did!!! PLEASE rethink where you go! Or you will prolly be like me and have to find another surgeon to fix and get you back to health! I gave this business 2 stars only because Dr Dry was amazing, he was nice and understanding but I had an infection after 2 weeks, went on 2nd set of antibiotics and in horrible pain, his nurses(over a 60 min phone call) made me feel like I was drug seeking and told me Dr. Dry no longer wanted to provide me with my care and I should follow up with a family physician. What???? So I told them I need Dr Dry to see what's going on with my surgery area, they moved my next post op appt to a different time to make sure Dr. was going to be there. The day of my appt, I was on my way, I got a call telling me Dr never sees patients that late because of family, which I get but why would his nurses MOVE my appt to make SURE Dr was there. I was frustrated. Then I was told they would look into what happened and call me back. No Like I said, Dr Dry was amazing but it's too bad some of his staff is making personal experiences horrible. Now, I'm in the process of seeking another surgeon to do his post ops especially since one of my areas hasn't improved. read more

Dr. Precht is a wonderful woman, very friendly and helpful. I just had micro-body sculpting in 4 places and a natural fat transfer to my breasts on May 12, 2011. There was more discomfort afterwards than I was expecting but it was manageable, I think that part is different for everyone. My breasts look wonderful.. I am extremely pleased with how they have turned out.. I am really hoping they stay this size but am told that they probably will not. They went from looking droopy and flat to perky and full.. the difference is nothing short of amazing. However, I have to admit I am a little disappointed with the lipo so far. I expected a much bigger difference and only see a very slight change. My love handles are still there and so is my tummy.. I am hoping that changes with time as it has only been a week since my surgery, but honestly right now I am not satisfied. After paying $8000 for my procedures, I expected much more. The women at Athenix have always been nice and made sure to call me prior to any appointments to remind me so I have enjoyed dealing with them. I will post again when I get closer to the time that they say I will see my "full results". 5/29/11 I am still not seeing much of a difference.. So far I have gained 6 pounds since my surgery.. the day I went in I was 144, the day I came home I was 151...I don't understand how I could have fat removed and gain weight.. ??? read more

Both my husband and I had the Obera balloon for weight loss. For us, it didn't work. I lost 3 lbs and my husband gained weight. Some things they don't tell you in their presentation (1) you will get gas. It's awful and uncontrollable. Doesn't matter how much you change your diet, you will get gas! (2). You will burp. They are smelly and again uncontrollable. Very embarrassing. (3) you can't sleep on your side. You will burp, and pass gas if you do. Maybe other people had better experiences but the two of us can't recommend it. Next, I was concerned about the level of privacy. When you go in you are brought behind a curtained area for your vital signs and to be hooked up to an IV. I think there are 4 side by side curtained off areas. I could hear the nursing staff in the break room talking about patients. I could hear patients being interviewed about their medications etc. i was very uncomfortable by it all. We spent $14,000 altogether and it didn't work for us. If you pursue this I wish you better luck. Please know the nursing staff is very friendly to the patients which I appreciated greatly. read more

I had a Gastric Balloon done in September and removed it in April. I paid over $8000 and was guaranteed to lose anywhere from 25-50 plus pounds. That was not the case here. I was supposed to have a nutritionist for the first 6 months, which was very inconsistent with changing nutritionists each time. They also wrote me the wrong medication. I was highly disappointed in the procedure and lack of support by this business, I spent a large amount of money and had no results. This is very disappointing, as I am a single mother and don't have $8000 laying around to spend on anything especially to have no results. I reached out several times to discuss my disappointment and unsatisfied experience with the "practice manager" Leslie Taylor, to see what they can do to compensate me in some way, and all they want to offer me is that they will do the procedure again. I absolutely will not get that procedure again as I am disappointed! I have reached out via email and phone many times since May and still have no resolution or reply email. I feel that I have been put on the back burner with this situation and that is not acceptable, I am not asking to be fully refunded as I did undergo a procedure however, I am asking for 50% back as this has been a complete nightmare. I missed weeks of work unpaid and was vomiting for almost a month. It states on the Athenix website that Leslie is responsible for ensuring an exceptional experience for every patient. It also states that she enjoys watching patients transform their outward appearance and the impact that has on their individual self-confidence. Unfortunately, this has NOT been that experience for me. This has been very depressing, not only because I had zero results, but I am also out $8000. Their website is a false advertisement as they are not trying to make sure my experience is or was exceptional. I feel this isn't a priority for them, They were very persistent prior to coming in and spending my money. read more

Procedure Date: 11/18/2014 I had spent many years reviewing portfolios and speaking to various surgeons prior to finding Athenix in Washington. I had been looking to have a breast augmentation procedure done and for a very long time could not find a surgeon nor facility that I felt particularly comfortable with. I was very fortunate to work with Athenix and their staff. I had done quite a bit of research on my own prior to even going in for a consultation, but was still very open-minded about amending any details about my procedure if I felt comfortable with the attitude and competence of the surgeon and staff. From start to finish the staff are very friendly, helpful and incredibly patient. They are very informative, great about answering questions and in some cases even have a lot of advice based on their own personal experiences with this type of procedure to help in making a decision that is right for you. After an initial consultation, many questions and email exchanges, I was presented with an option between Dr.Bullis and Dr.Dhaliwal. I chose Dr.Dhaliwal as he is knowledgeable in many areas of cosmetic and/or reconstructive surgeries and I just personally felt that it would allow him a better understanding of the human body in relation to these types of procedures versus a surgeon who has a more narrow field of practice or interest. I could not be more thrilled with my choice. Dr.Dhaliwal is an extremely laid back, patient individual. He's confident in his skills, yet not overly cocky. That combination creates a very comfortable setting for a patient like myself who has never undergone any type of surgery, let alone a procedure like this. I felt very comfortable letting him take the reigns so to speak and based on his experience, plan out the surgery in a way he believed would create the results that I hoped to have. Ultimately what he wanted to do was the exact opposite of what I had initially planned and I'm glad I had the foresight to be willing to budge and let him do what he thought was best. Come surgery day I had a choice between two implant sizes and ultimately left that up to him as well. I trusted that based on our discussions he understood the final look I wanted and I believed he knew what he was doing in order to help me achieve that. I'm currently barely 2 months post-op and I could not be happier with the results. Dr.Dhaliwal knows what he is doing and he is a fantastic individual to work with, as are all staff that I personally encountered at Athenix. Listen to the feedback everyone there has to offer. If at any point you are unsure of certain details for your procedure, he will work with you to figure that out. He seems to take great pride in his work, is very meticulous and has your best interests as his number one priority throughout the whole process. I am very happy with my decision in choosing Athenix and choosing Dr.Dhaliwal as my surgeon. read more

My journey started about two years ago to have liposuction but with all the new procedures I wanted to be better informed as to what procedure(s) would possibly be right for me. I first researched procedures, facilities and read countless online reviews as well as credentials of the doctors to include complaints, malpractice suits and education. In November 2013 I scheduled a consultation with Athenix after being disappointed with other facilities for various reasons. When I arrivied I was greeted by a friendly and professional staff. I was introduced to Elle who conducted my consultation. She was friendly, polite and professional. I explained to her the procedure in which I was interested in but obviously didn't know if I was a good candidate. She conducted an exam and addressed any/all of my questions and concerns and never once tried to upsell or rush to complete the consolation. Elle explained the process and procedures step by step including pre-op, day of surgery to follow ups. At the completion of the consult I felt I would be in capable and qualified hands. My pre-op was on 02.2014 with Dr. Precht who I requested for my procedure. Dr. Precht was kind, polite and professional. She conducted an exam of the areas (upper & middle abdominal, waist, bra roll and hips) I wanted to address. Again I was reassured that this was the place for me and Dr. Precht was my surgeon of choice. On the day of surgery (Thursday) all the staff who I had not met were just as nice and professional as the staff I had met. I was in a twilight sleep during my procedure and Dr. Precht and nurse's Denise and Kate talked with me constantly to ensure I was comfortable. My procedure went off without a hitch and I was on my way home walking and talking with little to no discomfort. I was out walking the next day (Friday) and returned to work on Monday (no pain meds) feeling well and looking slimmer. One of my best girlfriends said I have a true hour glass figure. I have since referred two of my friends to Athenix and will continue to refer Athenix to anyone I know is considering any cosmetic procedure(s). I am more than pleased I chose Athenix and Dr. Prechet and I'm thrilled with the outcome in week five. I would like to extent a big thank you to Dr. Precht, Elle, Katie, Toccara, Kate and Denise and to the entire Athenix staff. read more

My experience with Dr. Dhaliwal and the staff at Athenix was terrific. The first phone call I made helped me to decide that this was the right place for me. Elle made it a priority to come in early on a Saturday morning so that I would be able to bring my husband along. She went above and beyond to answer all if my questions. She helped me with financing every step of the way. My procedures would not have been possible without her guidance. I met with Dr Dhaliwal and Katie D for my pre op appt. His attention to my concerns made me feel at ease. He also made suggestions that not only saved me money but helped me to attain the results I wanted. I had some abdominal wall separation due to pregnancy and I now feel muscles that he pulled together where I haven't had them in 20 yrs :). I had a full tummy tuck and a breast lift and I love the results!! Recovery took a bit longer based on my procedures but it is still well worth it for me!!! Dr Dhaliwal even gave me his cell phone number in case I had concerns. I have had several follow up appointments and every single visit I am greeted with a warm and friendly office and nursing staff. Katie D, Denise and Nicole are super nice and it is obvious they really care about their patients!! I love my experience with Athenix of Bellevue and Dr Dhaliwal!!! read more

From first consultation to follow ups the staff at Athenix has been truly over the top. Each one of them has made me feel appreciated and known. They have been personable and professional. I have seen them so far for 3 procedures or treatments and I have been over happy with all of the results. Dr. Dry is SO good at what he does and all the staff nurses were WONDERFUL.

I went to Athenix Body Sculpting Institute in Bellevue in April of 2012. I was very impressed with the staff and especially Dr. Lisa Precht. I was very hopeful that they would be able to help me with my body issues. I had 2 children both cesarean section and my body still showed it after 13 years. I had gained 65 pounds with each child and was never able to get rid of the roll below my belly button. I was discussed with how my midsection looked. I had a Mini Tummy Tuck, Body Contouring around my midsection and arms at the end of May 2012 performed by Dr. Lisa Precht. I'm not going to lie the first week was not fun for me. I had some issues with the garment being too tight for my arms and caused a lot of pain. Once I got into the right size garment it was much better. As a result of the surgery I lost 6 inches off my waist and I'm so happy with the results. I just had my 6 month pictures the other day and I couldn't believe the difference... WOW! I also can't say enough nice things about Dr. Lisa and the staff there. They have been really nice to me. I have also had a VI Peel on my face/neck and Vela Shape to help break up some of the scar tissue from the surgery. I would recommend them to anyone, and I have encouraged my friends and family to see them too. read more

May B. I would like to say I am so happy with my results. I was working one day and listening to the news when the advertisement for Athenix came on the TV. I was a little sceptical, but, listened and called to set up an appointment. I'm 60 years old and my self esteem was a little low due to age and gravity. I looked tired in the face and my body well that was another story. Gravity isn't kind the older you get. From the moment I stepped into the Bellevue office the ladies made me feel secure and welcome. They explained the process in detail and what would take place during the process. I let them see my problem points and with the doctors care they suggested the best procedure for me including a tummy tuck due to the body contouring. I'm not a couch potato at all, I walk 3-4 times a week lift weights and box, but, I just could not get my tummy or stomach pouch to go away. I had seen other liposuction by other company's, but, it appeared a little too evasive for my taste. I went in to Athenix and within hours my body contouring was done and finished including a tummy tuck. Athenix saw me everyday and called me periodically and checked on me. The process was easy and my body was so responsive week by week. Its been just a month and people tell me I look wonderful, what did you do to yourselves you look younger and my self esteem has gone up a couple of notches, because Dr Garcia took some of the fat and injected into my face, which gave me a a slight lift and I look so good. All I can say is Thank You Athenix I love the lady's there and Dr. Garcia, and I love my new look too. I recommend anyone for this process. read more

Really happy with the outcome so far! Had the surgery on Valentine's Day on stomach, hips, inner and outer thighs; the whole shebang! The staff was great, although it was a lot more painful than I anticipated. Since I had so many areas done at the same time, the recovery for me was a little longer, about a week before I felt pretty good. I was very swollen and bruised but as time goes by the results have been amazing. I'm still seeing changes and it's getting better all around. My stomach is totally flat, which is incredible as I added it at the last minute! My thighs have always been an issue (really bad genetics!) and they are looking pretty good. Again, they are still getting smaller which is so fun. My jeans actually fit properly instead of my thighs being 1 size bigger than my waist. The office staff has been friendly and helpful and I might send my husband in next to get rid of those love handles :) This was my first experience with any type of cosmetic surgery and I was able to keep it a secret from everyone--yay! read more

The staff was friendly, informative and accurate about the information and what I needed to do as well as how my recovery would be. I was running again after 7 days and did not miss any work.

I had a great experience here. I had my micro-body contouring done 3 months ago in May this year by Dr Dry (upper & lower abs, and hips) and I am very happy with the results! I now have a waist - something I have NEVER had! Clothes look & fit better, activities are easier, and I'm not nearly as self-conscious anymore. Felt no pain during the surgery; very sore the following 2 days but on day 3 I was noticeably feeling better and back at work. By about day 8-10 I felt normal again bruising was mostly gone and pain was minimal. I didn't have to use any of the pain medicine just Tylenol. The staff -- so lovely! Reception girls and Elle are so helpful and sweet. Nurses are comfortable to be around and have great tips and advice. Dr. Dry was thorough on explaining the process but ENCOURAGED lots of questions.

I had the body contouring done here on my upper abdomin, sides & love handles a few years ago. I had previously had lipo and tummy tuck done elsewhere and just needed a little touch up after having another child. First and foremost, the procedure was unbearable. I laid there crying and unable to move. I continuously told the dr that i was in pain, like he instructed me to do, but he didn't offer any solution or help. In first month or so I noticed a SLIGHT difference ( not a $6000 difference, and nowhere near what they said I could expect) but it didn't last at all. At my follow up they suggested buying the velashape to follow up with. I spent ANOTHER $1000 on that, but when I arrived at my next appointment was informed that I can't use the vela shape for the intended (AND SUGGESTED) areas because I have tattoos there. The same tattoos that were there when they suggested I pay for it! So, after $7000 i have absolutely no change. I could have flew out of the country and came back with an entire different body for that amount read more

I am so glad I got to have this done. I am a woman who is just shy of 30 years old and have recently lost about 45 pounds, but had a stubborn double-chin. It was something that had bothered me since I was 10 years old, whether I was overweight or not. The first doctor I contacted (not Dr. Zemplenyi) said I should get submentalplasty -- that was a little too much of a production for me. Dr. Zemplenyi kept it simple and conservative and said I should do lipo first, but that I might have to come back if he didn't take enough off. I appreciated that Dr. Zemplenyi didn't push me to go for a bigger (and more expensive) procedure, but still informed me about the options. He also was the only one to tell me about potential risks - which luckily didn't happen to me - while the other doctor didn't say anything about that. So I also appreciated that he was honest. Dr. Zemplenyi is a quirky guy and he knows it, but I appreciated that he looked at my chin as if he were an artist. Every person's face is different and I felt like he was really trying to get the best result possible for MY face. PROCEDURE Ok so like I said, I had under-chin lipo. I chose to do it under what I think was mild sedation. I had painkillers but I was still awake. I remember him doing the procedure, but I felt calm. I didn't feel pain. I felt pressure and movement. Recovery was more involved than I thought it would be. It hurt. There was a fair amount of swelling but not a lot of bruising. I got this done on a Thursday, and took Friday and Monday off of work. I worked from home until the following Thursday. Be prepared to take it easy. I should also note that I don't respond well to opioids so I stuck with Tylenol and it was enough for me to keep it manageable. RESULTS I am SO HAPPY with my results. The sheer brain space I have freed up now that I no longer worry about my double-chin? Amazing. If you are on the fence, contact him for a consultation. It was less expensive than I was expecting and about half the price of the submentalplasty the other doctor suggested. I am 8 weeks out and have just a little bit of swelling left and a little bit of tenderness left. I wish I had done this years ago! I am glad I had Dr. Zemplenyi do this for me.

In this case, the office manager's interactions with patients often come across as cold and unnecessarily snarky. I've overheard this more than once. She's clearly efficient with administrative tasks, but direct patient communication may not be her strong suit. That said, the medical care itself--from Dr. Tarbet and Natalia--is exceptional, which is why I continue to return.

I have a copy of the original post op date in writing. The morning of surgery I was asked who was bringing me to my post op appointment the MORNING following surgery. Her staff seemed to have appointments confused and mixed up most of time and changed them at the spur of the minute. I did not - in spite of repeated distress calls to see Dr. Nygaard - see her. My caregivers were repeatedly told the doctor was too busy and to give me more pain medication which caused projectile vomiting. I saw the doctor the first time approximately 54 hours post op. Her post op instructions clearly state if a compression bandage is used the patient is to be seen the first day post op. Caregivers were repeatedly told when they called the doctors office and asked for me to be seen that the doctor was too busy - she was in surgery or in new patient consultations. It was not until my son called her office repeatedly on Friday after surgery on Wednesday demanded adamantly and emotionally for me to be seen. He told them they had their priorities mixed up a surgical patient should be taken care of prior to new patient consults. My appt was changed to allow me to come in 2 hours earlier than she had changed my first post op appointment several days after surgery. We were 8-10 minutes late for our appointment as I still could not walk unassisted. The receptionist said in a very hostile tone, "You are 30 minutes late for your appointment. Just have a seat. The doctor will see you when she can fit you in....." I was so wobbly I sank onto the couch in tears. Our appointment was for 1:30. We arrived at 1:38. The tourniquet compression bandage on my head smelled like vomit. My ear (the compression bandage was cutting into the cartilage of my ear) hurt on a scale of 1-10 with ten being the worst was a twelve or fifteen. The doctor's staff was rude, not at all kind or sympathetic or helpful. They did not return calls as they said they would. I have been told by doctors that the necrosis (suffocating of healthy tissue due to lack of circulation) on my neck is a direct result of the compression bandage being wrapped to tightly and for too long. Please know who is administering your anesthesia and their credentials. You can die from an inept anesthesiologist. Investigate the difference in a doctor who is an anesthesiologist or a nurse who studied anesthesiology for two years to obtain certification to administer anesthesia. I was told I would need a caregiver for one night. Surgery was done on Wednesday. It was the following Sunday night before it was safe for me to be by myself. I believe I was administered to much anesthesia. Having had previous surgeries, I never experienced anything like this before. I am left with serious scaring on my neck from the necrosis and will be undergoing surgical procedures for next FOUR YEARS to correct the damage created by this medical faux-pau. Dr. Nygaard was not attentive or responsive at the time I needed help. Nor was she or her staff at all professional or courteous. Her bedside manner became solicitous when she realized she had created at problem and then she wanted to see me frequently. Payment - all payment was made prior to surgery. Please feel free to call or email me - 206-999-6788 or marion@windermere.com. I will be most delighted to share with you. I completed my last corrective surgery in Sep 2018. I spent 40 sessions in the hyperbaric chamber in an attempt to get the wound to heal. I have been through 4 corrective surgeries to remove as much dense thick lumpy scar tissue as safely possible.

Apparently, they like to bill you before the service, which is bold. When I finally saw the doctor, he seemed hesitant to even see me before my gastric bypass. Even explained how I have had this issue my entire life but seemed to not believe me. Pictures all the way from years ago would even have shown my issue.

If you're looking for a pricey cup of coffee and an expensive consultation, this is the place for you. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere.

To begin, I'll admit right out - I am not the standard customer, and I came to Athenix as a last hope in repairing another surgeon's fairly severe mistake in far over-liposuctioning my abdomen. Backstory: I had only wanted the 3"x2" area directly beneath my navel to be lipo'd, but they removed ALL fat between navel and groin, telling me it was to "feather" the desired area - and ended up only touching the original 3"x2" area on the right side. A second procedure was performed to try to correct the original area. After several years' battle, I was able to legally get my money back from the other large, well-known company (and therefore will not name names), but that didn't change the lumpy, uneven, scarred belly I'd been left with. My initial consultation at Athenix suggested Dr. John Bullis as a good possibility. His intro pargaraph on the website noted he "has an artistic eye and an ability to visualize each patient's aesthetic goals" - sounded like just what I needed in a surgeon. I met with Dr. Bullis and was immediately comfortable with him. He has a very warm manner, understanding and non-judgmental. He looked carefully at the area and tried to set my expectations accurately, but made sure that I knew there wasn't a guarantee he could fix the issues. He had some theories about why I was so dented and uneven, and they seemed sound. Dr. Bullis cautiously called the situation a "salvage mission", and said he would know more once he was actually in. I asked him if he honestly felt it'd be worth the money and pain and healing time to go forward with it, if he thought I had a decent chance. He paused to consider for a moment, then said yes, he did think he could make things better for me. I booked the appointment. I found out during the pre-op check-in that Dr. Bullis HAD dealt with fixing over-liposuctioning before, which made me even more comfortable. When I asked him why he didn't mention that at the initial consult, he explained that he likes to under-promise and over-perform - can't say I blame him, especially in this situation. He marked me with Sharpies - high areas in red and low divots in blue - and I was cleaned. I declined any medication other than antibiotics, so I was awake and alert for the procedure (as I had been both times the previous company operated on me). Everything went as expected while he lightly liposuctioned my inner thighs to harvest fat to inject into my abdomen. I don't have much fat on me to begin with, and I didn't want to be super bony; Dr. Bullis was careful and considerate there too, taking only about 200cc of fat cells. I had little discomfort and not much pain. He then began work on my abdomen, breaking up the scar tissue which he theorized correctly had been creating divots, and injecting fat specifically in those low areas he'd previously marked. Throughout the procedure, we listened to my favorite genres of music, and Dr. Bullis was charming - he went to grade school with Henry Rollins, and told me many stories that coincided with stories I'd heard Henry tell on spoken word CDs. How cool is that? :) Afterwards, I was bandaged, carefully placed into an overalls-like compression garment (which was actually pretty comfortable compared to the other company's ill-fitting wrap-thing which always rode up), and Dr. Bullis made sure I was functional and stable before I left. I had occasion to call him once after hours, to confirm that I could take a muscle spasm pill for an unrelated issue, and he was as friendly on the phone as could be. I was super attentive during healing, which only took about a THIRD of the time that the other company caused me, and I have had FANTASTIC results. While I can see there's still some mild something-not-quite-right about my abdomen, it's become so minor that I can wear bikinis again without feeling like everyone's staring at my lumps. I'm no longer obsessing about how ugly my once-beautiful stomach is. I call that pretty damned good! And as for my thighs, which had never been modified before - Dr. Bullis did such a terrific job that you can't even tell anything had been done. The tiny 1/4" insertion marks are still pinkish, but once they go white, I can finally forget this whole ordeal. The only negative thing I can say is that I wish I'd found Dr. Bullis first! He's truly everything I could want for in a surgeon - or in anyone who I'm trusting to permanently modify my body. I've already recommended him to a friend (who lost a lot of weight a few years ago and will be getting a massive circumferential tummy tuck) and I'd send anyone else I know to Dr. Bullis in a heartbeat. If you're considering Athenix and Dr. John Bullis - please take my review as a very, VERY strong suggestion to put your trust in his hands. I'm so glad I did. :) PS - All of the nurses and counterstaff were just as friendly and caring. I really feel like I was treated exactly as I'd want to be, especially when I was SO vulnerable, and that's rare these days. read more

I am going on 4 weeks post-op at Athenix in Bellevue Wa. I have had a Belt Lipectomy with FDL and Muscle Repair with Gavin Dry. Dr Dry's work is stellar, his explanation of expectations was real, and his work is impeccable. I am very pleased with the surgical care I received. But I want to use this opportunity to give a review of the staff that supports Dr. Dry. The first time I came to Athenix was with a family member when they came for a consultation. The initial intake was thorough and informative, and we never felt rushed. It can be an embarrassing situation to expose that much of yourself to someone, especially when you are unhappy with some physical parts of your body; but the consulting staff were so kind and grounded that it put us at ease. We never felt rushed, and my family member also made follow up calls for some clarifications and received all the information they needed. I was already booked somewhere else for my procedure, but decided to also consult at Athenix. It was pricier, but also local to me so I would not have the expense and concern of travel. My consultation was with a different intake professional, and I experienced the same superior level of care. These folks are so educated and helpful, and I appreciated the time that I got to spend asking questions. I changed my surgery to this practice because of these interactions. The scheduling and front desk staff are top notch. They are very responsive to answering questions and the surgical scheduling folks were great! I have had to nudge some of my appointments, and schedule some more last minute when drains were ready to be removed, and they helped me navigate my calendar. After every appointment, I also stop to chit chat for a moment at the front desk, and they are funny and smart women who give great tips with compression and the like, and commiserated with me on some of the more difficult bits of post-op care. The day of the procedure itself is a bit hazy in my memory, but my nurse at the start of the day was funny enough and helpful enough to keep me feeling safe and secure. It always amazes me when people are intuitive and know what the patient needs to put them at their ease. The anesthesiologist came in and we chatted for a bit and I felt confident in his ability to monitor me and keep me at the right level of out-of-it-ness without complications. The morning of surgery after I was in the surgical suite and being prepped, one of the kindest humans patted my hand and told me everything was going to be alright right before the anesthesia kicked in; that made the morning. And finally, the nursing staff. The nurse that called and did my intake and pre-op info was thorough and informed, and was able to help me figure out when to discontinue some meds, what was fine, and helped me plan out the couple weeks prior to procedure. My follow up appointments with the nursing staff has been gentle and informative, and they have monitored my progress and been attentive to all my concerns. I was given advice and explanation when i bought the wrong type of tape, got tips and tricks for compression and garments, and been guided through my post operative care with complete professionalism. I am very purposefully not calling out each of these folks by name, because together they have provided the care and kindness of family, and I would hate to have missed a single person that has been part of my surgery and follow up. I have my next procedure already booked, thanks to Dr Dry and his entire staff. read more

I am writing to share my experience at Athenix Plastic Surgery, which I regretfully describe as disappointing. After undergoing liposuction at their facility, Dr. Dragotti was my surgeon, I found myself dissatisfied with the results and frustrated by the level of customer service provided. (I have this indentation on one side of my stomach which looks a lot like contour deformity). First and foremost, I advise anyone considering cosmetic surgery to avoid scheduling procedures too close to significant personal events, like a wedding. These surgeries require adequate recovery time, and the stress of potential complications can overshadow what should be a joyous occasion. My choice to proceed with Athenix, unfortunately, led to several issues that have since influenced my views on their practice. Post-surgery communication was severely lacking. After experiencing concerns a few months following the procedure, I attempted to reach out for a follow-up, but my inquiries went unanswered. Even after returning from my honeymoon, it took considerable persistence to schedule an appointment. When I finally managed to do so, I received a call two hours before my scheduled time, asking if I could arrive earlier due to a change in the doctor's schedule. Frustrated but I was willing to accommodate, they strongly advised that I reschedule anyway since 1 hour is too long of a wait for them (mind you I live about 1 hour away and that is with me quickly getting dressed and to rushed out so I can make it there asap). Eventually, the practice manager, Abbey, gave me a call about a week later. She expressed her intent to improve my experience moving forward. However, during the follow-up visit, I felt belittled rather than supported. The doctor mentioned he was willing to perform a revision, but Abbey seemed to imply that the issues I was experiencing could stem from my weight gain or clothing choices, ultimately shifting blame onto me. Her comments caused me to question the ethical framework of their practice, as I felt discouraged and dismissed. To add to the discouragement, Abbey quoted me $3,000 for the revision, and in order to move forward with it, I must lose 7-8lbs, back to the weight that I was in pre surgery, and I have about 3 months to do that before the offer expires. Abbey made me feel like just another number among many patients, further compounding my disappointment. After careful consideration, I ultimately decided against returning for the revision. The treatment I received did not instill confidence in the facility's ability to address my concerns appropriately. Instead, I sought liposuction from another reputable facility (for another area) where I experienced exceptional patient care and am now pleased with my results. I am considering getting my stomach liposuction revision here some time in the near future also. I strongly recommend that anyone contemplating cosmetic procedures thoroughly research their options and choose a facility that prioritizes patient care over profit. My experience at Athenix has taught me the importance of feeling valued as a patient. I wish all prospective patients considering this facility the best of luck, but I would encourage you to explore other options before making a decision. read more

Though I went to Athenix Bellevue to improve and feel better about my exterior, from first contact, I felt good on the inside. Leslie, the patient coordinator, was fully present and attentive to me as an individual. She listened, empathized and supported me as I navigated choices only I could make. As someone harboring a lifetime of body image issues, I was accustomed to hiding the body about which I was ashamed. In my mind, the thought of setting aside my protective barrier and asking someone to confirm everything I believed was ugly about myself terrified me. Leslie was infinitely patient, kind, and loving. I felt she was completely invested in my comfort and not just gaining a client. Thanks to Leslie, I made the appointment to meet with Dr. Bullis. When I met Dr. Bullis, I immediately felt the blessing of his warmth and authenticity. In addition to giving me hope and helping me continue to feel safe, Dr. Bullis made me feel accepted rather than flawed. He shared his artist's view of what could be done without triggering my self-deprecating inner critic. He was kind before, during, and following the procedure. I traveled from another state for the procedure because he is one of the few people I found qualified to do it. As a result, the procedure was done on Friday and the follow up appointment was scheduled for Monday morning. Dr. Bullis called me on Saturday to see how I was and to answer any question I may have had. I was both surprised and grateful that the doctor took the time to call me himself. It reaffirmed my feeling that just because I was out of sight didn't mean I was out of mind. He also provided me with his cell phone number so I could call if any questions or concerns arose. On Monday when I arrived for my appointment, everyone in the office greeted me with genuine warmth. I loved it! Just before going in for my appointment, I received an emergency call. I quickly spoke with Leslie and she urged me to take care of my needs and let her know what she could do. She assured me she would accommodate my need for an appointment as soon as I knew my personal situation. True to her word, Leslie made a spot for me the next morning. What I discovered when I arrived on Tuesday is that Dr. Bullis made time in his schedule to see me before he started his already scheduled day. I don't know many people who go to the lengths Leslie and Dr. Bullis did for me. I can't say enough about how their kindness and integrity has blessed me. The standard of personal and professional congruence that comes through them is second to none and is deeply appreciated by me. I cannot recommend the wonderful people at Athenix, Bellevue--both in terms of kindness and talent--with any greater enthusiasm. Although I'm only days out from my procedure, I feel completely satisfied with and excited by Dr. Bullis's artistry. From the bottom of my heart, I would tell anyone interested in having a procedure to take a trip to Bellevue, Washington. I promise, you will be treated with the dignity and respect you deserve. read more

From the moment I walked into the office i knew I was in the right place. I was greeted with friendly smiling faces. The girls in the front were inviting and sweet, my consult with Elle made me feel seen, heard & so comfortable in what I thought was going to be a very uncomfortable experience. The shame I carried with weight gain & loss, the embarrassment of my loose skin, and then getting naked... wooo. Roller coaster of emotions. I was met with understanding, compassion & empathy. she did nothing but lift me up & remind me I did the hard work, they will now help me uncover & see the results for myself. My skin was hiding my hard work & I felt like I would never be happy in my own skin. First I wanted to lose weight & be smaller. I was not prepared for the loose skin that came with it. Elle and Dr Dry made me feel so comfortable. Dry Drys bedside manner is top notch!! He also is a Weightloss patient & completely got where I was coming from. I can go on and on about why to say YESS YESSS YESS to this team. They care, they are with you from start to finish, you're not just a number. They are invested to help. They helped me figure out caregiving, & financing. They made it affordable with monthly financing options. Had I known this was an option I would have done this years ago!! *** The biggest take away, they gave me something back that I didn't think I would ever find. My spark, my confidence, and to no longer feel like a prisoner in my own body. Looking in the mirror now, I can truly LOVE LOVE LOVE not just my reflection but myself again. I didn't fully grasp the weight of the shame I was carrying because of my loose skin. While he physically removed 10 pounds of skin, he also helped me shed years of hurt and shame on an emotional level. I recently celebrated my 40th birthday with a vacation, and for the first time, I felt completely at ease in a bikini, without worrying about my loose skin or how others might perceive me. In the past, wearing a bikini would trigger a lot of insecure thoughts, but this time was different. After my surgery, I embraced the moment and enjoyed being with the people I love, rather than focusing on hiding anything. The freedom from negative self-talk and my own mind? It feels priceless to me. If this review can help anyone decide to choose YOU, then absolutely do it--again and again! It's an investment in yourself, and you are worth it; you deserve to be a priority. I feel happier, and my sister even said I seem to shine brighter and glow. Don't let anything hold you back--choose yourself! Thank you Dr Dry & Athenix!! I appreciate your team & LOVE MY RESULTS!! read more

I have to give a review about my recent breast life and augmentation. I have wanted this procedure for the last 10 years and I was finally in a position where this was a possibility for me. I did my research online first and decided to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dry at Athenix Body Sculpting. Every single part of my experience was top notch. From the initial scheduling of my consult and all the way through my post-op appointments; everything has been handled with amazing customer service. During my first consultation, I met with a very sweet woman who took her time with me and made trying on several different implants fun! I was given all the financial information along with some information on the procedure and Dr. Dry. When I decided that Athenix was the place for me, I called and scheduled my surgery. The entire process was so smooth! When I went in for my pre-op, I met with Dr. Dry and he was awesome. He sat down with me and made eye contact with me. He listened to me, he asked me questions. I never felt rushed or awkward. He is so professional and kind and knowledgeable. He was very honest with me about my expectations and how the procedure would be performed. I left feeling extremely excited and so optimistic about my procedure. I let Dr. Dry know what I wanted and what I did not want, but I also trusted his expertise. The day of my surgery was actually amazing. I was so nervous going in, but I was made to feel at complete ease. All the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and of course, Dr. Dry made me feel perfectly safe and comfortable. When I woke up from surgery, I felt great! Of course I was tired, but I did not feel any pain. My recovery went very smooth, and when I had a concern, I was able to text and send pictures right from home. It made me feel really taken care of. I am beyond thrilled with my results! Dr. Dry is a master at his craft. What he was able to do for my body was nothing short of a miracle. I am so happy with my results. Every post-op, every phone call, every email is always answered right away and with complete professionalism. I would highly recommend Athenix for any change you are considering. It has been life changing for me and I will forever be so thankful! Dr. Dry is the best! read more

For those that know me, I love the hidden gems in life. And, Athenix Body Sculpting is definitely one of them. As you can tell I'm not a big person. I work out regularly but my thighs were simply not cooperating anymore. I only had my outer thighs done, aka saddlebags, because everything else is ok. I literally couldn't be happier about my results. I'd give a 6th star if that was possible! I had the micro body contour done. It required 1 treatment and I was able to go back to work in a couple of days. For me it wasn't painful at all. There was no bruising or excessive swelling or anything like that. I also didn't want traditional liposuction because I had a friend who that done 2 years ago and she was in major pain and bruised like a banana for weeks! The micro procedure I had was very gentle and less invasive than regular liposuction. I love the way my lower half looks now. To be honest, I got to the point where I didn't like getting dressed in the morning and seeing my legs in the mirror and God forbid myself from behind! I avoided wearing dresses above the knees and shorts; this was no way to live. I have a trip planned to Italy this summer and I'm looking forward to wearing a cute new swimsuit without being self conscious. I'm definitely not a cosmetic surgery queen or anything close to that, so I did struggle with the idea of getting something like this done, but I'm glad I did it. I thought the cost was very reasonable also, around $4,500 which was much less than another liposuction doctor I met with. My doctor at Athenix was the sweetest, most caring woman in the world with a great understanding of how a woman feels and wants to look. During my consultation with her I felt she was honest and realistic with me about the results she could achieve for me. Athenix is definitely a hidden gem! read more

I am a very active working mother of two and I do my best to keep in shape, but even after hiring a personal trainer and pushing myself I was not seeing the changes in my body that I wanted. I wanted to look trimmer in my thighs and around my waist so I decided to look into Micro Body contouring after talking with a friend. I did a lot of research on micro body contouring before contacting Athenix and before choosing my doctor. From my very first contact with Athenix which was over the phone I knew this company was nothing but professional. My consultation was with Elle and she was great, I had a long list of questions and she went over everyone in detail and I left there feeling very confidant in my decision to move forward in scheduling my surgery with Dr. Precht. I had my first micro performed on my thighs inner & outer and my flanks in 2013, I had my surgery on a Thursday and was back to work full time on Monday. I was slightly uncomfortable and sore with moderate bruising, however by week two I was back at the gym and feeling like myself again. I am very happy with my results, my clothes fit looser and I even feel confidant enough to wear skinny jeans for the first time ever. Everyone at Athenix from Toccara to the Dr. Precht were amazing to work with, I always felt comfortable and very confidant through the whole process. Recently I decided to schedule a follow up surgery on a very small area I was not happy with Dr. Precht was very understanding and completely willing to work with me to make he completely happy and I also decided to have my mid and upper stomach done at the same time. So far I'm very pleased with my results and looking forward to healing totally up before summer and swimsuit weather. read more

I had my breast augmentation procedure with Dr. Dhaliwal and I couldn't be happier with my results. First of all, I was extremely nervous about the procedure since this was my first surgery, but as soon as I met Dr. Dhaliwal my nervousness was gone; he was so kind, comforting, and made me feel at ease during my consultation. I decided to get a breast augmentation because I was unhappy with the size of my breasts, and wanted them larger. He did a great job asking me about my concerns and the look I was hoping to achieve. I showed him a picture of results similar to what I wanted, and he gave me EXACTLY, if not better results than what I showed him. He also was very professional in terms of details of the procedures, his concerns, and was honest about possible complications that are associated with surgeries of this sort, and I appreciated that. Dr. Dhaliwal and the nurses provided amazing patient care and guided me through every step of my recovery process; it really showed me how much they care about their patient's well-being. Athenix also has the finest staff! I visited several different locations before arriving at Athenix and none of the staff at the other locations compare to staff at Athenix. Elle, Tocarra and the other girls were extremely welcoming and were so kind to share their personal stories with me during my consultation. I also bombarded them with so many phone calls asking questions and the girls were wonderful when it came to answering my questions and returning my calls every time. A big THANK YOU to Dr. Dhaliwal and the staff at Athenix, I would give you guys 10 stars If I could :-) read more

I'm just about to turn 46 years old, and for the past 25 years, I've had well over 20 plus surgeries and none of them were cosmetic. In fact, a few of them were to save my life. I knew at some point when I was ready and able, It was finally going to be my turn....and that's when I found Athenix! From the moment I walked into Athenix, I was greeted with beautiful smiles and kind hearts! I was blessed with a staff that cared about how I was doing with my recovery. They walked through every single step of this process with me, and are still doing so today! If I felt emotional about my recovery in any way, they were right there to share their own journey, and then continued to walk through mine with me. Out of all the surgeries that I've had, I've NEVER had a staff with such wonderful bedside manner like at Athenix, and to me that is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! To top it off, I have an OUTSTANDING Surgeon, and his name is Dr. Parikh! As soon as I met him I was at ease, which may I say, is a good thing considering I had to disrobe as soon as he said hello! As I continue to heal up, Dr. Parikh has been there at my appointments to make sure that everything is healing up nicely and that I'm happy with how things look. If I had or even still have questions and/or concerns, he's been right there to give me answers and has taken the time to make sure that I'm okay! I've appreciated that Dr. Parikh has walked through this journey with me, as well as literally each and every person working there! I love Athenix and thank them for being here with me, and look forward to what's ahead! read more

Jessica is Wonder Woman with a wand! She also has the intrinsic eye for the whole body. I initially booked a Vela appointment hoping to find some help with horrible constricting scar tissue. She evaluated me and knew that Vela would help but the damage I had would need additional assistance. She booked me a consultation with Dr. Bullis (read my first review for him) and then Jessica booked my post op Velas. After the first procedure to break up thick plates of scar tissue (over an inch thick and many inches long, Jessica began expertly treating the areas. She is a master in her field. She was able to get me to maximum benefit through 10 intense treatments. Each time with patience, skill, caring and using her knowledge of the tissue. After just the first 3 treatments I had regained so much range of motion I had previously lost. After the the last even the horrible discoloration and mottled appearance of my skin was barely noticeable. I could wear shorts and dresses above the knee again! I have had my second (and we think last) reconstructive surgery and I am back in Jessica's expert hands. I'm certain I will have even more ROM, normal function and normal appearing skin after she has completed this series. It is certain to me that without Jessica's knowledge and keen eye I would still be struggling with daily living tasks, missing all of my normal and daily exercise and feeling mortified every time I saw my damaged body. It's a true gift to be able to like the skin you're in again. read more

One month post-op and beyond thrilled with the results!!! The staff at Athenix were welcoming and made me feel extremely comfortable beginning with my first consultation. I had lots of questions and they were wonderful, kind and patient. Customer service seems to be a top priority for Athenix and they do it well. I was blessed to have Dr. Precht as my surgeon. Her attention to detail and her desire for perfection combined to produce exceptional results for me. I expected a follow-up call from a nurse a couple of days after the procedure and was surprised when the call came from Dr. Precht. I had upper, middle and lower abdomen as well as hips done and my recovery went so well I was back to work in three days and back at the gym in seven. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain and I believe following the post-op directions faithfully played a big part in my swift recovery. I was one of those people who regardless of how much I dieted or exercised I could not get rid of my love handles and muffin top. I noticed a big difference right after the procedure and I'm told I can expect the results to get even better over the next few months. I would recommend Athenix to anyone. There was no sales pitch or pressure to purchase other products or procedures. A big thank you to Dr. Precht and the staff at Athenix for making this a very rewarding experience. read more

After having 2 babies I struggled with what had become of my body. My husband and I discussed a breast lift but I was nervous to do something that would permanently change by body especially once I learned that to get the best results you needed to have implants with a lift. After being referred to Athenix and meeting with Dr. Dry I felt confident that he understood my goals around the end result of the surgery. I trusted his calculated approach to looking at your body as a whole and knowing esthetically what would look good so much that when I went in for the surgery I left it all up to him to decide what size implant to use. I could not be more thrilled! I am now 4 weeks post-surgery and the results are fantastic! He made them perfect again, full of life and exactly the size I had hoped for. No one knows I had the surgery because he did exactly what I asked for which was to make it look natural on me and give me back that pre-baby lift and volume. The staff at Athenix was friendly, knowledgeable and always made me feel comfortable in what can most definitely be an uncomfortable situation! Before deciding on Athenix I compared their price and level of service with other Bellevue surgeons and found comfort in knowing I was making the right decision. read more

Athenix Body Sculpting in Bellevue, WA did a great job in all aspects of my procedure: from the consulation and all the way through the follow up visits after surgery. My first visit I was nervous about being there and their staff was warm, inviting and knowledgeable about all procedures. Dr. Dhaliwal set my mind at ease when I met with him regarding my breast augmentation and my recovery (I was nervous about taking time off from working out). I am an avid runner, weight lifter, cross fit and all around active - I had concerns about having the surgery. Dr Dhaliwal and staff helped me know the facts of the surgery, the recovery and what to expect. I was well prepared and ready! I am 5'6" and 140lbs and I went from a 32A to a 32DD and I love it (although I thought it would be too big, it is perfect!)! I have self confidence when I am wearing a sports bra, t-shirt, tank top, etc. I feel like I have all the RIGHT curves, which makes me feel feminine in myself and my clothing. After the surgery if I ever had a question about how I was feeling or how I was healing, the Athenix staff was always available to answer my questions. It was a great experience and I recommend making your consulation with Dr. Dhaliwal of Athenix because they are outstanding! read more

The staff here is amazing! I had a breast augmentation 12/30/13 with Dr Dhaliwhal, and it went very smoothly. For my consult I saw Elle, and she was the best. She had just had a breast augmentation, and she was willing to share her experience, and put my mind at ease about my choices for what I wanted. I love that they genuinely care about what you want, and convey a realistic outcome, and are willing to tell you what will and won't work for you specifically.The Nurse anesthetist called me the day before to discuss anesthesia, and postop pain expectations and medications, which I thought was great! The day of the Surgery went off without a hitch, and everyone there made me feel confident in their abilities, they were ready to roll when I arrived which I loved because I am a stickler for timelyness. I met with Dr Dhaliwhal prior to the procedure to go over the treatment plan, and verify sizes, and I went into the OR at ease and comfortable. Everything went well, and I was on my way. The postop pain was very managable, and I only needed the medication for the first day and a half. I had my surgery on a Monday and I was back to work by Thursday. So all in all, I would reccomend them to anyone interested in getting a breast augmentation. read more

I was so scared to get a consult because 10 years prior I had a consult elsewhere and it was not comforting or relaxing. So first off, thank you to the amazing Athenix consulting staff (Elle) as you put me at ease and helped me decide on what I did need and was honest about what I didn't need. Met for pre-op Nichole and Dr. Dry were so patient to really make sure I understood and answered all my questions. No going to lie; surgery day came and I was nervous. But Melissa helped make me feel so much at ease! Then I had surgery (tummy tuck, augmentation, lipo) and I'm here to tell you this place rocks for patient care! Called to check on me, talked to my family, DR Dry even made sure we had his cell number just to ask questions! The nurses Nichole and Melissa were more then amazing with all my questions and I just felt like I had a little family at Athenix who truly cared about my well being! So yes I'm very thankful for the way my surgery changed me. I would recommend Athenix and Dr Dry anytime to anyone if you want ABOVE EXCELLENT care and results! The best customer service from the front sweet gals too. They so made my appointments fun and laughable! Thank you all again for making me a new woman and taking such great care!! read more

If I could shout this review from the rooftops for everyone to hear, I'd do it loud & proud. Every single part of my experience with Athenix couldn't have been more perfect. From the very first virtual consult, I felt completely comfortable. They communicated with me thoroughly through every single step leading up to surgery. All of my pre-op checklist tasks went so smoothly because they are truly a well oiled machine with systems to ensure everything flows flawlessly. There wasn't a single detail that they didn't prepare me for. I felt completely confident and ready walking into my surgery. They gave me clear expectations and then absolutely OVER DELIVERED. I dreamed of my excess skin being removed, but the body that they gave me far surpassed my wildest dreams. Dr. Dry is a perfectionist in the best way possible. He removed 15.1 lbs of excess skin during my 360 Body Lift. Thanks to Athenix, I can genuinely say that I love my body. My life changed the day that Athenix walked into it. The entire staff went above & beyond to give me exactly what I wanted. Their passion for helping people change their lives shined through (even with their masks on). If you're considering plastic surgery, CALL ATHENIX. You will not regret it. read more

Experience of a life time!!! My husband and I went into this process with little knowledge of the process and the adverse effects. We did some reviews and research about the process. We consulted a few places but settled with Athenix in Bellevue... Our experience fro the moment we entered the office was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and professional. We were given all the information we needed including cost and options for the procedure... I must say it was a great experience and Dr. Lisa Precht was pleasant and did an incredible job on the procedure. She was so gentle, considerate and professional. She went out of her way to spend more time and efforts on the procedure. We are most grateful and love Dr. Precht. We were out in a few hours and headed home. The whole experience was amazing and I was up and running within a week. My body feels so great and I look so young my husband cannot keep his hands off me! Word of warning follow Dr. Advice and do not rush to remove the padding as you can easily faint the first time you get out of bed to change your dressings... We are so appreciative to Dr. Lisa Precht and all the staff... We recommend them to anyone... Happily ever after - in Everett WA read more

About 2 Months ago I surfed the web for a good Doctor that would be able to do the work that Dr. Bullis did for me. My friend kept insisting and telling me to go see her doctor, but I was not too happy with her result's. My friend went to the doctor that had been like the family dr. for years. She got her tummy tuck, lipo and her breast done. I was not to happy with her results cause she had got the old procedure done. The down time for recovery was over a month close to 2 months, to the point that she was hunched down and was unable to stand strait and using a walker. I It's been 1 month since my surgery, my down time was less than a week. I was up and walking with in two days and doing my daily errands. I got a tummy tuck and body-jet lipo and a new belly button No bruising or nasty scars. I'm so happy with my results. I have a flat tummy (no more Muffing Top!!) and very pretty belly button that looks like I had nothing done to it. No nasty ring scar on my belly button. So now my some of my friends asked me would u do it again? I said absolutely!! We only live once get it done wile you still can. Thanks Dr. Bullis you have a wonderful gift keep up the good work! NO Pain NO Beauty!! read more
