Dr Cribbibs is in the same office as my dr. I have met him a couple of times and he seems like a very nice man. Though I am not his patient, he says hi to me. I like his smile. Good Luck!

Does Dr. Cribbins take Medicare? Im wandering because I am looking for a bariatric surgeon. I am wanting to do the LAP-BAND® procedure. The surgeons in my hometown dont take Medicare or Medicaid. They will for cholycystectomies and appendectomies,but not for WLS.

I went to Dr. Cribbins - he's great! Really took his time with me and his staff is wonderful. He didn't put me on any pre-op diet. After surgery it was liquids then mushies then soft foods. They will give you hand outs so you will have something to refer to. Good Luck! | |

Both Dr. Cribbins and Dr. Hamn accept Medicare, but no Medicaid.
