My deepest condolences to Dr. Scribner's family and friends. Dr. Scribner saved my life and my legs. I was a patient when I was 4 through my 20's and still talk about him to this day! I had an ankle fusion in 2014 at N.E. Baptist and the recovery nurse told me Dr. Scribner was "cutting edge". Thought about him so many times - will always be so grateful to him! Martha Clancy

Dr Scribner was a true gentleman. I worked for OSI for many years and always admired his quiet demeanor and skills as a surgeon. My mother could walk without pAin after he operated on her. I feel blessed that I had the privilege to know him.
