After consulting with Dr Marguerite Barnett, she...
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.

Provider Review
My interactions were abrupt, with very little bed side manner. When I and others, asked questions, she appeared agitated by the questions, as though they weren't important enough to answer and did not want to go into any lengthy explanations. When a problem arose causing us to return after hours, specifically, my staph infection caused from her procedures, she made excuses for the problems and said there's no reason to cry or carry on the way I was or be upset, despite her decision on the spot to cut back into me on her office table, then she put her hands up gesturing, to play an invisible violin in front of me and my daughter and now husband, as if to say, she didnt feel bad for me or my pain at all. She's rude and abrasive at times and I would never send anyone back there for anything. Her staff follow her lead in unfriendliness. Some are afraid of the doctor their boss, and told us so. I have had problems ever since she operated on me. The doctor has not returned our calls to date asking for a time to show her my very unsightly massive scar , dimpling and new pains in my abdominal surgical areas. This is not a surprise after my entire experience. Never have I been treated so unprofessionally by a medical doctor or surgeon, ever. If I could turn back the clock, I would have gone with Dr Dreshen in Clearwater, paid more but have no problems and no deformity, like I do now sadly.Biggest mistake I ever made was thinking her Harvard credentials would someone make her premiere. She's definitely best retiring. This is true of her breast augmentations too, as she ruined the most natural complimented previous breasts, which I had her downsize, i now hide from the world. Overall, I would not recommend her for cosmetic procedures. Save your money and go elsewhere.
