After consulting with Dr Marguerite Barnett, she encouraged me to reduce my breast size and tighten my stomach due to neck injuries and pain in my cervical area. I took her advise after she reminded me of her double board and Harvard diploma. This of course, impressed us, but sadly don't let her credentials fool you.
My proposed surgery was expected to take 3 hours max. and she opted for a surgical center despite my pleas for a hospital location. This turned out to be a my living nightmare. My family waited 9.5 hours until a nurse came out to say I was still in recovery!!! They wanted to speak to Dr Barnett but the nurses responded, she has already driven away!!! No post surgery Check! I was rushed out, since the center closes at 5, in a wheelchair, half sedated, in horrific pain, begging them to call me an ambulance. We were told to bring me home and follow the paperwork. In shock, my family did so. The next 48- 72 hours went downhill as more and more puss came out into my drain sacs and my breasts were severely lop sided but most importantly, the 3-4 inch incision that I was promised in my pubic area, was instead 20 inches across my lower abdomen preventing low waisted pants or bikinis ever again and within a week of surgery, I went to Doctors hospital where I was examined and told I had a severe staph infection. Dr Barnett insisted we come back in HER OFFICE!! To repair the drain that fell out and cut a larger incision hole right there in office after hours! No nurse to assist and ultimately left me looking and feeling as if a butcher had performed this surgery. Since then, she saw me in her office for 3 months trying to even out my breasts with ultrasound, blaming it on "hardening", when in actuality it was because she overfilled the left implant and wouldn't admit her mistakes. My lower abdominals are horribly painful and distorted and ugly and I now have multiple hernias as a result of her not doing it correctly. Other doctors concur. This is a warning to others who want to use Barnett. She has a superiority complex and cannot admit she's not sure or knowledable enough or simply getting too old. Her driving away and playing a mock violin in an office visit in front of my husband and daughter was COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL stating i should stop complaining and I am now facing multiple operations to correct what Marguerite Barnett did to me. As of 4/21/15 Doctor Nor her staff, refuses to return our calls for comment or help. Other surgeons have called her a " butcher" and we have photos to prove it. Avoid this so called renowned plastic surgeon in Sarasota Florida.

I am so very sorry for all that you are going through. I would take a case like this further, so that she is reviewed by the medical board.

Eana....Why would she make this up?

I'm so sorry to see this but when I read who your dr was, I'm not surprised at your outcome. I was her patient here in California and she botched my entire surgery. Like you, she tried to tell me I looked fine which was a joke. Luckily for me another surgeon in the group redid the entire surgery for no cost. But I had to go thru the pain twice and spread it out over two years. Please beware of this doctor!

Clearly this Dr. does not need to be practicing & needs her license revoked & or suspended She needs to be turned into the medical board & taken to court . There is simply no excuse for this type of conduct !!!So sorry for all you have gone through ! DO not let her get by with this behavior & allowing her to destroy peoples lives !! What A SHAME !!!

Dear Lynda, I ha e struggled with coming out with my experiences with renowned surgeon Dr Barnett, Sarasota Fl. Personally after my h encouragement from the medical community and members of my community here a d abroad
June 13, 2015
"Continued" here and abroad I decided to share online my personal experiences. I am educated, well traveled and thought she knew what she was doing. She clearly didn't. I paid the price, financially but more importantly, as if my pain level from my crime and aftermath of my spinal neck Injuries, aren't enough to handle, let alone my new self esteem issues of looking quite " butchered" which doesnt help. I find it atstounding that other women, get on this site and challenge my experience as lies and psychotic. It hurts to think the world has such mindless types and is awful that you cannot share honestly what happened to you, without personal ridicule. Therefore, it was quite refreshing to get some who feel for my anguish and unprofessional treatment myself and family members witnessed and the deformities she has caused me. Now we are looking at my right implant because its not staying the same size and the left .... Unothrr reason for PAUSE. So thank you and feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Valerie

I am so sorry you had to go through all of this. My thoughts abd prayers are with you for a full recovery, and I hope not only do you get all costs to repair this paid for by her, that with photos, other doctors statements etc, she will no longer be allowed to do this to anyone else. It's horrific to hear of her incompetence. Keeping you in my prayers!!!!
