Galen Garriga, M.D.

"My goal as a surgeon is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care while treating every patient as I would a member of my own family. I believe the best surgical outcomes come from combining technical excellence with clear communication, trust, and individualized treatment plans. I enjoy the full breadth of general surgery, with a particular interest in minimally invasive and robotic techniques that allow patients to recover more quickly and return to the people and activities they love. It is an honor to join Advanced Surgeons and continue serving the Birmingham community alongside the surgeons who helped shape my training and passion for surgery."
