Does anyone has feedback on either of these Drs? I'm thinking about changing surgeons and of the very limited choices I have for Tricare in DFW, their office seems to be the most recommended.

How is Presby Plano, and is an overnight stay typical with them? All the posts I've read from people banded there stayed overnight, which I'm actually in favor of.

Thanks for any info!

Hi Lucy, I was banded by Dr. Hamm. And I will give it to you straight. I have heard rave reviews about Dr. Cribbins. I have met him once as I was having some issues and he wanted me to come in during after hours. He was very nice. I have heard he is shy. Dr. Hamm....I have no problems with him. alot of people talk about his bed side manner but I can tell you this. He has never been rude or talked down to me..never mean....never interrupted me and actually thanked me for smiling at him during his seminar. He told me that I was the only one and he appreciated it. I think people say that because he is quick and to the point. I dont mind that. He tells me exactly what I need to know.

I went for my two week post op visit. (I have only had my surgery 3 weeks ago) I was sitting in the waiting room and I heard a couple of women talking saying they think he is rude but that he is the BEST at what he does.

I loved loved loved the over night stay. I stayed at plano presby. I was given great care. I was checked on all night but not too much where I could not get sleep. . Given medication quickly. I felt I could not have done it without that stay overnight. Also the day I discharged...they got me out quickly. And that was after I spoke to Dr. Hamm, a dietician, and the bariatric nurse. All of whom were really nice.

I think I saw in another post that you are having issues with them getting your surgery scheduled. I did not have any issues so I can not advised you. When I first talked to Cheryl I found her dry but eventually she warmed up to me because I always asked her how she was feeling because she was sick around the time I was waiting for my surgery approval letter. I wish you the best of luck. I know everyone has different standards when it comes to doctors but I have no problem with Dr. Hamm and so far am pleased.
