"What was your first impression of him/her? rnHe seemed young, but he was a great surgeon to me and when he came to my room to see me he was very supportive and answered all my questions.rnrnHow did your impression change over time? When I went for my after visits it seemed as though they did not even know me and within the past week they have called me to come in for my yearly appointment, but I'm at a year and 1/2 so that does concern me about office organization.rnrnHow would you describe his/her office staff? rnStaff was friendly, but does not get excited about weightloss or make you feel special.rnrnWhat did you like least about him/her? THe lack of caring or friendliest from the staff.rnrnWhat should future patients know about him/her? He is a very nice man. He is very caring and quiet. HE IS A GOOD SURGEON AND DID A GOOD JOB ON ME! I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS FROM THE SURGERY at all.rnrnHow much does he/she emphasize aftercare? rnVERY little aftercare, no documents to tell me what I could and could not eat. Was very confused right after surgery as to exactly what to do.rnrnDoes he/she have a structured aftercare program? rnNot at all.rnrnHow did he/she address the risks of surgery?rnHe did emphasis this at the first meeting.rn rnHow would you rate him/her overall? He did a great job on me. He was there for me when I was in the hospital and was supportive of me when I was there and of my pain.rnrnWhich is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or are both great? Great bedside manner and surgical compentence.rnrnOverall, I would highly recommend Dr. Cribbins. I think as an office for gastic bypass patients, there needs to be more organized to help you with care and what you need to do after surgery. However I've lost 155 lbs........and feel like One Million Dollars and will send my girlfriends to see him also. Bless him, he saved my life!! THanks you Dr. Cribbins... Sharon"
