Sheri Burke a so called International Medical coordinator, conned me and other patients out of 1000s by promising plastic surgery that she can not provide. She does not have medical back ground and they send you to so called hospitals that provide substandard care at best. I was personally ruined and my face will never be the same. Another patient was beautiful until she had surgery at the Victoria Hospital in Mexico. Sheri Burke was very friendly until she stole my money. She just called me to curse at me. I do have her recorded/ BEWARE SHERI BURKE AND THE VICTORIA HOSPITAL ARE A SCAM.

Wow, I feel so bad for all the women who had bad results from Dr Velasco and his joke of a coordinator, Sheri Burke. I think they shut her down for good.

What a mess, the medical coordinator writes all the positive reviews. I am glad to not be involved.

Notice all positive comments are members since the day their comment was made ... Go play games else wear Sheri ... Karma will come back around to you... I had surgery on 3/2012 I ended up with a flesh eating bacteria almost died... I barely had enough skin to cover my stomach because we had to
Cut so much out to get rid of infection my us surgeon never seen anything that bad..she will turn on you real quick their hospitals are a joke. She is uneducated I remember waiting for surgery and she said she was stressed about trying to figure IVF stuff out she had no idea what she was doing ... WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T GO TO MEXICO AND SHERI YOUR TIME WILL COME WHEN KARMA WILL BITE YOU IN THE ###!

International Patient Facilatators - Tummy Tuck Infection Worst Infection My Dr. Has Ever Seen

Tummy Tuck Boob Lift and Liposuction - Complaint

CANCUN MEXICO -- Hi I don't really know where to start here so much info... I found out on Thursday I had five bacteria's in abdomen had to have emergency surgery. This infection was the worst infection my dr. here has ever seen. I finally got to go home on Monday. I lost a lot of blood and can't drive or work right now my incision is wide open we have a wound vac hooked to me that I have to carry around all day until they feel my blood is built up enough for surgery/closing my insincion up we are trying to avoid a transfusion. I see a nurse three times a week and see my plastic surgeon Monday to see what our next step is..

Aftercare I think is what I think did me in... but I'm not pointing finger's at anyone.. I developed a sore on the bottom of my incision that would not heal I asked sheri about it I was worried she told me to put honey on it and keep it covered it looked really good ... this all started at three weeks post op I had my surgery on 3/21/2012.. I had asked sheri many times after sending pics if I should go see my regular dr. she said no your body just needs some more time. I asked her again about it week or so later sent in my pic she sent to dr. V to get his advice he said I was having minor complication and my body was reacting to inside sutures and needed antibiotics. I went to see my dr. she gave me antibiotics and took a culture this was Friday before my surgery on Monday I had another appt.. still wasn't getting better she put me on two antibiotics the culture came back with five bacteria's. she refferred me to a surgeon we thought maybe I needed to be drained again for Dr. V left our drains in for only 8 days. the Surgeion couldn't get me in so she wanted me to be seen sooner suggested I go to ER. My husband was out of town til wed. so I went in on Thursday and had Emergency surgery now I'm left open. Before I went to ER though I had emailed sheri to get DR. V advice she said she was meeting with him in a bit and would get back to me... never heard from her all day.. I emailed her Thursday AM the day that I was going in and asked if she had heard from him for I was going into the ER and wanted his opinion she didn't get back to me claiming she was in meeting's all day till around 5:00 PM still no answer about talking to the DR...

While we were their:
The condo was Ok... I've stayed in better places but it was fine... no microwave... we had to climb three flights of stairs right after surgery which was the most painful thing you could do... Erick her husband was the one who usually took us to the appointments we didn't really see much of sheri. Everytime we called sheri to get us something after surgery she would either forget half of what we asked for or get us something we didn't even ask for. I feel like they should of had a folder that had places you could call to deliver food. Thank goodness for our roomates who went to the store for us.

The Hospital:
I liked the Dr. he was quiet but nice and spoke English. The hospital was ok it wasn't clean like we see here.. but they were adding on which I thought was a good sign. but the two days we were their they pounded and pounded above our heads I was going crazy I finally called Erik to tell him we needed out of their because I was going Crazy. Most of the nurses spoke Spanish but we had a few cards we could use.. One nurse who was pregnant was very rude slammind doors and such. I think if they were doing construction we should of been told about it. We didn't sign any paperwork. The beds were very uncomfortable. Not that we had appetites anyway but they never offered us any food. and the pain med's are much better in the U.S. I'm not sure what they even used but they would only give them to us every six hours. which we were in excrusiating pain. I know the surgery I just had here I was given morphin every hour and and norco.

Even on last day we didn't see sheri she didn't come out to say by or anything. I had asked sheri many times about going to my regular doctor and she said I didn't need too... I think sheri needs to be better educated on the aftercare and non of this would have happened to me.

As of now I will never go back to Mexico not even for Vacation...I'm going to end up paying another 10, 000 to repair this that is not the 7900. for the package I paid for in Mexico excluding my airfare and food.

End Result: Ecoli

Hope this helps,
Staci Brambani
Update:
Dr. Velasco did my surgery e coli is prominent in Mexico...my abdomen wall was contaminated with e coli so much more of my stomach was cut out...e coli is spread through stool or feces through humans or animals someone didnt wash their hands before my surgery did my surgery (they were the only ones in my abdomen wall) this is why nine weeks post opt I had a spot on my incision from taking tape off that would not heal the infection had contaminated my abdomen wall...I was in severe pain in hospital during recovery and while home and I have a high tolerance for pain I'm sure others have had good experiences but this does happen never in a million years did I think I would go to Cancun and come back with this nasty infection...I had read how others weren't in pain and where back at work... I have a desk job and didn't have the stamina to go back to work...i thought this was all part of recovery maybe it was just taking me longer than others...this could of killed me if not taken care of...I think the sore was a blessing in disguise or else I never would of had it checked out...I go in for my third surgery Tuesday to close me up another 6-8 weeks of recovery and depending if we have enough skin to close me all the way up...I will have another surgery for skin graph...and for the photos on their website Sheri was asked not to post pics and still did...I'm here to let others know this does happen and it's not worth the money to go to other countries for surgery...after my surgery I will be posting photos of everything so don't go to Mexico for surgery!

Sheri is not professional at all. You're right the only time you see her is when she comes and collects her fees, which are way more than what the doctor gets. Who did your surgery, Dr. Valesco? He did mine, and honestly he didn't go a very good job for someone that was under over 8 hours to do facelift and arm lift. I will certainly never never never go back to Cancun for surgery.

Sheri has had a whole series of men. She was sleeping with the last doctor.Yes she is totally phoney.Trust me she does not give a rip about your results. Once she knows that you are not happy then she is gone like the wind. The can not be sued bc they work in Mexico. That is how her and Dr Velasco gets by with it.

Sheri Burke is a money thieving, fake voice sounding, manipulative blonde [censored]! And I swear if I'm not completely happy with my end result, she better be ready for the mother of all lawsuits. I'm sure Eric is not her husband and she probably lured him into her web like the witch she is. Dr Velasco needs to let go of her QUICKLY!

Hey Fran, Sorry that you along with so many were scammed by this FRAUD operation in Can Cun under the direction of Sheri Burke and her husband Eric along with April Larkin and the so called Dr Velasco. What was your experience? I guess that you know by now that all of them are a fraud and they care nothing about your health. Did you see all of the nightmare cases under this fraud show?

I myself just returned from Cancun and had booked my facelift through SHeri Burke. Let me just say, that the only time I saw Sheri was the morning of the surgery when of course she came to collect the balance owing. After that I was totally on my own. The facelift performed by Dr. Velasco was a disaster. Now I am in the hands of a plastic surgeon here in Canada and will need repair work done on my face which will end up costing me than if I had had my surgery here in Canada. STAY AWAY FROM SHERI BURKES AND A DR SO CALL VELASCO. SCAM SCAM SCAM!

Lisa Steams is Sheri Burke. Sheri is doing was is called shilling. This is considered wire fraud. Sheri Burke is covering up the fact that took money for work that she did not do and artificially enhances the business by shilling. If you r were not Sheri then you would not care., I will contnues to reposnd to false comments so if you do not want my response then do not post your lies. Sheri told me that ALL people who have issues with her are crazy. I have heard all the lies.

I agree, she is crazy. By the way I'm not Sheri, I am Lisa and have had many procedures through Sheri.

It's amazing how you think the policia is involved when you don't even speak the language. And for God's sake why would you bring in her family into this. I suggest you check yourself into a mental facility and get the help you need. It's amazing and when did her kids get driver's licenses at the age under 10? Hello, you know just give it up because there are too many of us very satisfied customers. Just get off this board and live your life. You are very sick. By the way reread your complaints, you don't make sense, maybe you should pick up your English writing skills and you are the FRAUD!
Happily signing Lisa in Cancun

Just to lt everyone knnow that ALL of the positive comments about sheri Burke are traced to Sheri Burke's computer. Enhancing your business with phony made up names is illegally and one can be arrested for it. It is considered fraud. Sheri Burke needs to leanr about law and theics. she needs to deliver what she promised and thus none of this would have happened. Sheri Burke stop acting like a child. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT ILLEGALLY GIVES OUT THE PATIENTS PRIVATE INFORMATION. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT POSES AS A HAPPY CLIENT.YOU ARE THE ONE THAT MAKES YOUR TIRED WORN OUT CHILDREN DO YOUR WORK FOR YOU. I HAVE YOU RERCORDED ADMITTING TO THIS ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. THE POLICE NOW KNOW THAT YOU ARE A FRAUD. I MAY HAVE THEM INVESTIGATE YOU AND YOUR COMPUTER FOR POSING AS A HAPPY CLIENT FOR YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND I MAY HAVE YOU INVESTIAGTED AS A MENTALLY ILL MOTHER. I KNOW THE EXACT LOCATION OF YOUR CHILDREN'S SCHOOL AND AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING REPORTING YOU.

All The positive comments about Sheri Burke are written by Sheri Burke. Get a life Ms Burke! Stop making your two young children do your work for you. The police know what you are up to and they know that you tried to get some one fasley arrested. The story was YOU GAVE some one a junky lap top to use. They paid you to you an actual computer. The laptop was a piece of junk. Alll belongings were returned to your husband. The maid had put the lap top in a borrowed luggage. Your husband was alllowed to look through the luggage, but he could not find it. No One wanted to miss their flight so the offer was made to pay for the lap top many times over what it was worth. Your husband refused.The offer was made to overnight the lap top . Your husband refused. it was explained to your husband that they maid may have acidently pacekd the lapo top as she saw it being used for two weeks. Still you advised to press charges. The police now know no to believe anything that you say and no one spent the night in jail. You need to learn to get on with your life. The advocate at the police office is aware that Sheri Burke illegally gives out the patient's private photos. This lady from the police office is looking into to Sheri Burke as they know now that Sheri Burke is using extortion.

Can I pitch in right now...I am a very satisfied client of Sherri. and the hospital. So much so I have had three medical procedures with her and intend to have another. Your comments are totally unfounded and could potentially ruin many professionals reputations. Can I ask anyone reading this to contact Sherri if you are thinking about having surgery for my contact details and I will personally call you and discuss my experiences first hand. You can then ### for your self. Jo
