Accepting new patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

Dr. Garzotto has a long standing interest in trying to refine the diagnostic approaches to the detection of prostate cancer including incorporation of MRI and novel statistical methods such as machine learning.  His research group identified the Viet Nam war-era defoliant, Agent Orange as a risk factor for aggressive prostate cancer.    He is considered an expert in the design of novel treatment regimens for locally advanced prostate cancer including combination therapy such as chemoradiation and immuno-hormonal regimens.  He is the Chief of the Urology at the Portland VA Medical Center where he also serves as the Lead Investigator for the VA NAVIGATE Program that conducts NCI-sponsored trials for multiple cancer types.   Understanding the molecular drivers of cancer is a prime interest of his, as he feels this knowledge is essential to the pursuit of improved outcomes for patients. He has a strong interest in teaching as he feels the future of medicine is dependent on the continued growth in knowledge.  He has been awarded the Department Faculty Teacher of the Year Award several times.
