Dr. Cribbins is the best doctor I have ever had! He is very understanding, caring, and patient centered! It is refreshing to meet a doctor that actually listens to the patient! He is very knowledgeable, and gifted at his craft! I was very nervous to undergo the surgery, but his excellent bedside manner put me at ease! Not only is Dr. Cribbins wonderful, but everyone on his staff is exceptional as well! I am so happy that I chose Dr. Cribbins to perform my surgery! I highly recommend Dr. Cribbins and the Texas Center for Bariatrics and Advanced Surgery!! I’m very blessed to be a patient!! J. Stubbs

Dr. Cribbins is a great surgeon. I am very happy with the results of this tool. After surgery, his nurse called and checked on me. I was able to personally email Dr. Cribbins about questions or concerns that I had and he responded quickly to my emails. I have been able to get to a healthy weight within six months and I feel and look so much better. The handbook that the office provided has been very helpful and informative. The information provided prior to surgery from the dietician has helped me tremendously in this weight loss journey.
