Dr. Garofola grew up in northwestern Pennsylvania and has lived in the Blacksburg area for the past eight years while attending medical school and pursuing his residency.
He finished a 1-year internship at Lewis Gale Montgomery in July 2017, and completed a dermatology residency at Lewis Gale Montgomery from July 2017 to June 2020, where he served as chief resident for two years before joining the River Ridge team permanently in 2020. He practices general, pediatric, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology and has a special interest in the procedural aspect of dermatology, including Mohs surgery. “Medicine is really an art,” he says, “skin issues never look the same and there’s always a number of ways to treat each problem.”
Dr. Garofola is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, American Society of Mohs Surgery, Virginia Dermatology Society, and Sigma Sigma Phi Honorary Fraternity. He was the first-ever resident to serve on the board of the Virginia Dermatology Society.
He is excited to spend many years to come in the Blacksburg area with his wife, enjoying the outdoors with their two German shorthair pointer dogs.
