OK I finally meant my surgeon and I must say that I was so impressed. My father who is 65 yo went with me and the Dr took the time to explain to him the surgery and the role that he might have to play after I have the surgery. i guess I did not know that my dad was nervous about the surgery but I honestly think that after the visit with Dr. Tribble he is more at ease with the whole process. Dr. Tribble took time to answer any and all questions that we both had and explained why he thought that I was an excellent candidate for the bypass surgery. I am so very excited. This being my first time to actually meet Dr. Tribble I can say that it was a pleasure I did not get any bad vibes from him or anything.

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.

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!
Dr. Tribble is a caring and compassionate surgeon with extraodinary skills. I am truly impressed by the way he nutures is WLS patients. The whole program and staff are wonderful. They approach WLS from a wholistic perspective and that is refreshing. Mind and body are both addressed. The aftercare support groups and exercise classes that accompany Dr. Tribbles surgical practice are phenomenal. I would rate Dr. Tribble 11 out of 10!
This is my own personal opinion and the things that I have experienced with Dr. Ben Tribble.
My first impression of Dr. Tribble was that he is too young and too good looking to be a dr., but most of all that he has a big heart and a lot of concern for his patients. My impression has not changed much for him except that he is one of the greatest surgeons that I have ever met! His office staff are very friendly and always full of smiles and a warm welcome at every visit. I like every single thing about Dr. Tribble! Future patients should know that he is straight forward. I don't think that I have left his office with any questions unheard or unanswered. He informed me of the before and afters of surgery, to include the risks involved. Dr. Tribble's office has an awesome structured aftercare program and I rate him as being TOP on my list of Dr.'s WAY TO GO BEN! Your surgical competence and bedside manner are both excellent! Thank you for all that you and your staff have done for me!
I went to the seminar with a co-worker, who is also obese ,in Sept.2004 at Baptist in Columbia, South Carolina. I was really surprised to see people just like me there.I was kinda expecting to see all extremely super obese people, really only saw two people that fit that description, but it was because they suffered from lymphoedema. It was informative and Dr. Tribble spoke and answered questions. He seemed very soft spoken and very likable. He spoke quite elegantly about his favorite patient who was now an athlete running marathons. We all filled out questionaires and were told the staff would be contacting us regarding our first ofice visit. I was contacted about a week and a half later with an appointment for 10/12 which was the day before my 37th birthday.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Tribble and his entire staff. Very thorough and caring. My insruance would only cover in 2004. The office got my approval Dec 23 at 4:30 pm (the Thursday before Christmas, and I had my surgery Dec. 28 - the following Tuesday. Dr. Tribble said he wanted to do whatever it took to get me in there - and he and his staff made it happen.
