Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?
I love being a Gastroenterologist because of my breadth of practice and my impact on health.
As a Gastroenterologist, I get to solve complex medical diseases with keen intellect, counsel on general health and well-being akin to a primary physician, and perform endoscopy to treat anatomical disease as a precise surgeon…often all in the same day!
Through Gastroenterology I get to prevent cancer on a daily basis, help ill young patients return to healthy productive lives, help older patients maintain their health and quality of life, and be the caring hand during tragic illness.
Do you have a specialty of interest in Gastroenterology?
I treat all aspects of gastrointestinal and liver disease with a specific interest in inflammatory bowel disease and immune disorders of the gut.
What do you and your family enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy skiing, mountain biking, and cycling here in the amazing Rocky Mountains. I enjoy escaping to the ocean for scuba diving and the feel of sand on my feet. And if the weather is bad, I stay inside and play the blues on my guitar.

Reviews
Dr. Rufner is prepared ahead of time for my appointment and is so articulate at explaining what my prognosis and treatment will be. He’s also the first doctor that has genuinely cared about my liver diagnosis and how to reverse the damage of my liver. I’m comfortable talking to him about anything that’s going on and also respect that he personally understands mental health on top of endocrinology. I would highly suggest Dr. Rufner a million percent.
Very professional and caring from the RN to the anesthesiologist to Dr. Rufner.
The experience from beginning to the end was profession and well done. I was happy with their care!
This was my first appointment with Dr. Rufner and I understand why he has so many glowing reviews. He answered all of my questions in a professional and kind manner, and he took the time to discuss my medical history to make sure I will have the best of care during my procedure. I was very impressed, and am very happy with my decision to choose him as my gastroenterologist.
Dr. Rufner has great listening skills and is thorough in his caring for my husband.
