Dr. Tris’ office has been overwhelmed with calls recently due to social media rumors. Several pregnant patients near their due date have expressed anxiety and frustration with the stress that CHRISTUS’ decision has caused them. One of his patients near her due date told Front Porch News Texas, “I’m so heartbroken over it all. I had to switch doctors when I first got pregnant over insurance reasons and I was so comfortable and happy with Dr. Tris. He’s such a sweet, genuine and caring man. I’m so stressed over a doctor now and having to drive an hour to the hospital in Greenville for delivery.”
Others that we’ve spoken with have expressed shock due to the fact Dr. Tris recently delivered his 13,000th baby and was honored with a reception in the CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs Prenatal department a month ago on July 24th.
CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs did not provide a reason for this action when reached for comment.
