David Dibbell

I was honored to work as an RN under Dr Dibbell on the inpatient unit @UWH from 1975 until his retirement., caring for the many and varied reconstructive patients he did surgery on. His incredible inventiveness and artistry helped so many. I profited immensely from his teaching. He was always available to his nursing staff whether it be inservices or Grand Rounds in which he always insisted we be included as valued members of the care team. Dr Dibbell insisted on the best care for his...

I was sitting here thinking about the doctors who have had an impact on my life and was curious about Dr. Dibbell who did performed surgeries on my cleft lip and palate during my middle and high school years...approximately 1978-1986. I google his name and was so sad to hear if his passing. I remember him being very warm and comforting during what were very scary times for a teenage girl. I know it´s been three years since his passing, but please accept my thoughts and prayers. He helped me...

My mother was his travel agent, and while she described him as delightful... she was also aware of his indiscretions and various women with whom he traveled. They were never his wife.

I did a rotation with Dr. Dibbel at UW in plastic surgery, he had a profound impact on me and my career with his exemplary care for his patients. Truly an inspiration. A sad loss, heartfelt hugs to his family

A one of a kind. Unbelievable human being. No words can explain. Love to Susan. He and father were friends. Big time fly fishing.

To Susan, Cherie and David, It has been many years since we have seen each other. I always think of Dave with the fondest memories. He was an extremely fun guy. I remember pulling up to the house in San Antonio and Creedence Clear Water Revival would be playing. I can't even imagine how much you will miss him. He was larger than life, XO, Christine

Dr Dibbell introduced me to my wife. I was an orthopedic resident. She was a student at UW working in the plastic surgery office. I can´t thank him enough

To Dave Jr., Stacey and Cherie: It´s been a long since those days when we were neighbors, good friends and fishing buddies when growing up in Hill Country Village in San Antonio. I have many fond memories of those days . Your dad was arguably the most intelligent , capable and amazingly dynamic person I´ve ever had the pleasure knowing ( my own mother Mardith being a close second ) :) There is a special note that I´d like to make a point of addressing . I will forever be in debt to to...

A life well lived! What great, real stories. Loved his sharing the marquesas, Geiger Key, Boca Chica, etc. with us. Loved hearing him shout, "the sound of freedom" as the F18's zoomed overhead. Hope to share a hunt together on the other side. Thank you Susan for sharing him, God bless you.
