Dr. Garza has clinical interests in general gastroenterology, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), swallowing disorders, esophageal disease, and GI malignancies. He is proficient in advanced endoscopic procedures including ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). He also performs interventional procedures for the palliation of pain from pancreatic cancer. He has maintained his board certification in Internal Medicine since 2003, and believes integrating care for GI disorders as part of a whole body solution is often the key to successful outcomes.

Dr. Garza currently serves on the Credentialing Committee for the Penrose-St. Francis Health System. He is the current president of our practice, and also is active with GI practice management on the national level, representing the practice by serving with the Digestive Health Physicians Association. Dr. Garza is one of many A.G. physicians who has been recognized as one of Colorado Springs’ “Top Docs” in gastroenterology.
