Prisma Health Wt Management Ctr Columbia Bariatric Center

Dr. Tribble is very pleasant and personable. He is confident, sincere and thorough.

My First impression of Dr. Prickett was that he seemed to be a really super nice Doctor. He has an excellent bed side manner. He shows a genuine concern for you when talking and does not rush through his visits. When I went in again for my pre op visit he just confirmed what I already thought. Still very pleasant and very sincere when talking to you. He explains the process very very well and leaves no questions unanswered. I really feel very comfortable knowing that he will be the surgeon doing my surgery. His staff have been very very pleasant as well. They great you with a smile and have been very helpful anytime I have needed to ask any question. They have a wonderful program and a very knowledgable staff. I love it! I would recommend him highly to anyone considering this surgery or any surgery for that matter. I wish him the very best in his future and hope that he can continue his work for many many years to come.

Dr. Tribble and his staff are the best! They are always there and willing to answer any questions I have or address any problems. He is so caring and an overall nice person. I couldn't have asked for better care!
The office is really busy, so especially on fill days, there is usually quite a wait. This can be bothersome if you are trying to get several appointments out of the way in one trip, so I would suggest scheduling the office visit last if possible. Otherwise, the entire experience with him and his staff has been great! He realistically addressed ALL aspects of both the band and bypass surgeries and completely left the decision about which I wanted up to me once he had educated me on both. I am almost 7 months post-op now and each time I go in for follow-up, he is truely happy for me in my weight loss. I feel like he genuinely cares about me as a person.

Dr. Prickett was SO caring and upfront about everything.. Great person!! I have to say too, that EVERYONE in the office is great! Sonya has been a BIG help with my authorizations.

Well I've only meet him (surgeon) during the seminar back in Oct. The staff at the weight mananagement center is ok. I say that b-cuz I'm an hospital employee and the center fee has changed for us (employees) from $500 to $50. I would probably never have known if a co-worker didn't talk with me after she went to a more recent seminar. So I called them to inquire about the difference and I'm still getting the run around.....But Mama say patience is a virtue......So I'll fill you in more once I meet with him (maybe in the next 2 weeks)........Well just got a call and will meet with surgeon on 8/15......SUPER SCARED!!! I've offically meet Dr. Prickett. He is WONDERFUL and before I left the office he shared the fatalaties with me and his faith in Jesus and how he knows that NObody is perfect and he prays with all patients b-4 surgery. He also looked over all my chart and told some of what I already knew. For some reason he ask me about the Lap-band eventhough I told him I wanted the bypass. He than told me he was going to just record us for his diactation and to stop him if he omitted anything......he basically told it like it TI is. Than the nurse told me they would be getting in contact with a date......Guess I'll wait it out..............

My first impression of him was that he was very caring. His office staff is great, but they mean business!,...as they should. He was very up front with the risks and advantages..and so was his staff! I know he is going to be great for me!

Jenny is sincere and really cares.

I met Dr Prickett at my consultation and I thought he was a very nice man, the office staff is wonderful and they are very supporting. I am still waiting for the surgery so I'm sure I will add more later.

My first impression of Dr. Prickett was that he genuinely believed in what he was doing. Over time that proved to be so true. He has a GREAT program and all of the people in his office are WONDERFUL!! Overall I would rate this whole office a12 out of 10!!!
