Great Surgeon and Dr. He is great to his Patients.
Dr Tribble is very nice. He made me feel safe to talk about my fears. They Have a Great Office Staff from the front office to the nurses. The Classes Are Great. I am looking forward to my surgery and The Support group is Great.
Dr Tribble was great after and before surgery. I am glad I chose him. He has made sure I understand what I needed to do. If you are looking for a great dr that cares. you can't go wrong with dr Tribble.
I met Dr. Tribble prior to my initial consult for bariatric surgery. He was called in to assist my OB/Gyn in an abdominal hysterectomy. My OB/Gyn was very confident in Dr. Tribble so I never felt there was a need to choose or dileberate over my choice of surgeon. I had also met Dr. Prickett at the seminar for bariatric surgery in December 2008. Immediately, I knew that both were extremely good at their work and my life would be in good hands. We still have a long road to go but I am glad to have a surgeon I feel so comfortable with.
My first impression of Dr. Tribble was very positive. He seemed very caring and enthusiastic about how he could help people. My impression of him has remained positive through the process. The whole program at Palmetto Health Baptist Weight Management Center is very much centered around education and they are adamant that you understand that this is a tool.
He was very professional and concerned. Outstanding surgeon. His only downfall was his bedside manor. He is a very serious man but with my life in his hands I guess that is a good thing. My surgery was a huge success starting at 360 lbs. and now 1 year later I weigh in at 175 lbs. and feeling great. It was a struggle at first for about 8 mths., but now it was worth everything. Overall this is a great surgeon and a great life savor. He is one that I would reccomend to anyone.
Dr. Tribble just did a cholecystectomy on me 3 days ago and I feel great. Two days post-op I was able to go to church without difficulty and climb stairs. I have minimal bruising. I did have a mild sore throat but that was from being intubated,not from the surgery. He found a cyst while in surgery and after talking with my husband, had an OB come in and remove it right then..yeah! He is an excellent surgeon and highly recommended by other OR nurses.
