Brief Intro

Dr. Allan Joseph "Joe" Cribbins III, MD is a board-certified General and Bariatric Surgeon who specializes in the "Art of Bariatrics" utilizing the Ultra Minimally Invasive da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System.

Dr. Cribbins is a highly skilled and respected surgeon with over 2 decades of experience and a da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgeon of excellence since 2012.  He is committed to better surgery, better surgical outcomes, and better results for patients.

He is the Medical Director of the Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery Committee program at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano for 15 consecutive years, he has served as the vice-chairman of surgery and has sat on several other medical committees.

Dr. Cribbins has been honored to be recognized among D Magazine’s "Best Doctors" for bariatric surgery for 12 years, named a "Best Doctor" in Collin County by D Magazine since the program inception in 2011, and a 2020 "Texas Super Doctor."

He has built a foundation of trust for over two decades by treating patients like family, and it is the hallmark of his success. He is a compassionate surgeon and prefers that everyone call him, "Joe."

Dr. Cribbins is confident ONE OPERATION CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. 

Bariatric surgery has been proven to be the most effective and long-lasting way to combat obesity by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Overweight people become resistant to weight loss due to hormones that regulate fat.   Bariatric/Metabolic surgery effectively treats people who are resistant to commercial weight loss, diet, and exercise.  Dr. Cribbins enjoys the "Art of Bariatrics" because weight loss surgery restores health and transforms life.

Dr. Cribbins operates at hospitals that are MBSAQIP accredited centers by the American Society For Metabolic And Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). The ASMBS awards this MBSAQIP designation to leaders in the field who provide exceptional patient care, demonstrate superior surgical skills, and extraordinary hospital facilities.

Dr. Cribbins and his wife, Heather, have 5 children, 4 dogs, and reside in Dallas, TX.
