Dr. Cribb grew up on a farm in Georgetown County, SC surrounded by dogs, cats, cattle, hogs, horses, chickens and tobacco. He preferred the animals and so chose his career path. Bryan Cribb received a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering from Clemson University in 1984 and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Georgia in 1988. Dr. Cribb was employed from 1988 to 1990 by Cottingham Veterinary Hospital in Kingstree, SC,  where he met his wife, Kari. He joined Dorchester and Oakbrook Veterinary Clinics in 1990, and eventually became a half owner of both. In February 2011, Dr. Cribb left Oakbrook to open Charleston Veterinary Care in the South Windermere Shopping Center. Dr Cribb and his wife, Kari and their three daughters live on James Island.
