Tribble Stacy, MD

This review covers attitude and bedside manner only. I am not commenting on this doctor’s technical skills or general competency outside of bedside manner.
I am shocked by the experience that I just had with Dr. Tribble. She was the on-​call doctor for my regular doctor who perscriped me some emergency medication for a terrible cough I was trying to ease before leaving the country for two weeks. Two of my five prescriptions still hadn’t reached the pharmacy two hours after the other three. So I called to let the doctor know and request that the two missing prescriptions be called in. Dr. Tribble called me back promptly but I was on a noisy bus and didn’t hear the phone. Fifteen minutes had passed before I listened to her message. She requested that I call back with the names of the prescription, which I did. She then called me back again and was more rude than a doctor has ever been to me. Unfortunately I am in a position to deal with doctors on a very regular basis and frequently need to make requests of on-​call doctors. I have never had an experience that even comes close to the rudeness and the combative attitude that Dr. Tribble displayed. I still can’t figure out what her motivation was for acting that way. If being treated decently is important to you, I strongly urge you not to see this doctor. If you don’t care about that, she might be a perfectly fine fit for you.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Tribble since she was at Overlake and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is knowledgeable and thorough and once she’s familiar with you as a patient, is very good about calling in medications to your pharmacy, rather than making you come in for an office visit for every little thing. Her nurse, Leigh, is also an absolute doll, as well as the rest of the office staff. Bring in some Krispy Kremes and you’ll score some points with the staff. :)

I’ve been going to Dr. Tribble for about 3 years now. I wanted a female doctor and someone on the younger end of the range. I really like her. She’s easy to talk to, answers all my questions with care, and doesn’t rush our appointments. She’ll talk through my options and isn’t pushy. She also was supportive of my desire to get Mirena IUD and had no problem giving me a referral. Plus she’s at Polyclinic and I’ve had no issues with the last three insurance carriers I’ve used.
