Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Laser Hair Removal - outstanding
Chose Serenity Rejuvenation Center after three consults in the Seattle area. Is the only place I actually met a doctor. Dr. O'Connell's presentation was thorough, professional, and concise. I felt safe. Staff were friendly, professional, and punctual as well. Great results. I have already referred my boyfriend and mother for some other cosmetic services.

weight loss
Overall great process over the last couple months. Came in seeking weight loss , to Serenity Rejuvenation Center. This was my third weight loss consultation - and the only one where I would have follow ups with the Dr. weekly which was really built added confidence. Dr. O 'Connell actually presented three different medication combinations as options. I had blood work done initially to review a few things which was also nice. I'm three months into a program and couldn't be happier with my energy, weight loss, appetite reduction, and my repeat lab parameters. Thumbs up and highly recommend!

Pleased that I found Dr. O'Connell at Serenity Rejuvenation Center to address an issue I have been curious about for some time. Being a pharmacist of course I deal with side effects of medications frequently, and was well read before going into the consultations that I received for the issue of fine lines around my forehead . I actually went to three consultations around the eastside and chose Dr. O'Connell. He actually suggested we start with less than half the dose recommended by the drug manufacturer so for this reason and the professionalism I experienced, I chose to proceed here. The front desk woman was nice, the office clean, the doctor well read and presented well. Results 3 weeks out are fantastic. I will recommend my friends and colleagues, and will be back when needed.

I never write reviews but wanted to share. Facility - super sleek , modern, and clean. Staff is very personable and knowledgeable. Dr. O'Connell is great to talk with about technology as well as adjunct methods to achieve my body goals. I'm writing specifically about EMSCULPT NEO and my abdominal region. I have had 3 of 4 of the treatments and already feeling and seeing great toning effect. I have 1 more to go but I am very happy. Ill be spreading the word around my gym and I will be interested in the body program that they are rolling out! Thank You!

Have been coming to Serenity and Dr. O'Connell since 2014 for a variety of services. I actually reside primarily in another state but still come in for services when in town . Just wanted to say thumbs up for beautiful new location, as well regarding my most recent service with the new device that was used for my procedure. Have always been impressed on several levels but congratulations on upgrades! Thank You and will see you again.

I recently visited Serenity Rejuvenation Center , fpr questions about body sculpting touch up. I have been to Serenity 6 years ago and had coolsculpting done with nice results. I thought I would come and do a repeat coolsculpting , as I have gained some weight and getting older. Dr. O'Connell and the front office sat me down and we discussed a new option that they recently added. EmSculpt NEO. The presentation was that it was mor at redution , and building muscle, while tightening skin. I did the recommenended 4 treatments one week apart - and now I am waiting for 4 -6 weeks for full result. I have to say that already - my pants are loose, I see more muscle tone, and I am just thrilled. I have to say that for me, emsculpt Neo is superior than coolsculpting. I am glad that they offered this as an alternative approach. Oh and by the way, the cost was less than what I spent 6 years ago on coolsculpting. Thank you so much and Ill see you in follow up.

I had the Miradry procedure performed yesterday with Dr. O'Connell at Serenity Rejuvenation Center , and number one I am shocked that I have zero sweat the next day. Blown away. It was a bonus that the Dr. and staff were very professional , informative, yet fun at the same time. Parking was easy, appointment on time, super impressed. Highly recommend! Thank You.

I am amazed at the complete resolution of my tattoo after 6 treatments. It was ex husbands name- and have been in second marriage so it was a huge deal with us. The whole process was stellar - its a time commitment - but saved my current marriage- thank you Dr. O'Connell, and Young for the experience. Ill be back for other services.

I never leave reviews . In fact, I am not a fan of social media. However, based on my experience , and the results I attained, I decided to share my experience , so that other men can have awareness, and to show my appreciation toward Dr. O'Connell and staff . I had miradry procedure . here and the entire process from consultation with Dr. O'Connell and front desk was informative, I had confidence. I went through with the procedure. I literally have noy worn antiperspirant in 90 days. I had post op lumpiness, which they told me that I would I have - however - completely resolved. I am 100 percent thrilled with the result and with the entire facility. Dr . O'Connell and staff rock! Thank you so much!

I interviewed three different facilities that offer Miradry procedure for sweating. Only at one did the doctor do the consultation and the procedure - Anyway I was impressed with the presentation from Dr. O'Connell- so I booked two days later . Front desk was great , as far as scheduling , timing, an appointment reminder, and follow up. The treatment did involve injectable numbing - The procedure was painless. The overall experience was 5 star . Most importantly the sweat was gone the next day. I had swelling and lumpiness as the DR. explained. But I am ecstatic as I have not used antiperspirant a single day in 90 days. A god send. Thank you so much Serenity Rejuvenation Center ! I have since referred a couple friends for the service. They do alot - so - my wife is interested now in a few things- and trusts the process so she has set up a consulation. Thank You Team

Positive: Communication, Professionalism I searched various providers for coolsculpting and was just impressed with the vibe that I felt with overall reviews.I actually purchased a groupon and the price was much lower than other places. Upon arrival - Front desk woman Young was very friendly, doctor stephen did a thorough consultation. Its kind of cool they have two offices on the same block. The office that we went to - the lighting was perfect, relaxed, quiet, and the two of them clearly work well as a team. Its way too early to project about results. I added areas based on my desires -and comfort and trust with the two of them, and we did partial treatment today and will continue next week. My review at this point is based on kindness, knowledge, thoroughness, and ease of the process. Very comfortable coming back to doctor stephen and young for appointment next weeek!
