Dr. Samuel Tesfalidet, MD

Why Interventional Radiology?

For Dr. Tesfalidet, interventional radiology offers a unique blend of variety, challenge, and impact. He appreciates the "diversity of practicing interventional radiology" — from treating infants to the elderly, addressing conditions affecting the head, spine, limbs, or vascular system.

He’s drawn to the way IR (interventional radiology) continues to evolve: new procedures and technologies expand what can be treated in minimally invasive ways. For him, that constant innovation makes medicine dynamic and deeply meaningful.

His Role at RIA Endovascular

RIA Endovascular — the pioneering outpatient interventional radiology practice on the Front Range — provides a wide spectrum of minimally invasive procedures, from vein and artery care to bone health, spine interventions, and more.

As a board-certified, fellowship-trained interventional radiologist at their Greenwood Village office, Dr. Tesfalidet brings his full skill set and compassionate approach to patients across all life stages.

He uses cutting-edge radiology technologies and stays current as the field advances — enabling patients to receive the latest, least invasive therapies possible.

Beyond the Clinic: Life Outside Medicine

Dr. Tesfalidet values balance. Outside his medical practice, he enjoys:

• Spending time with family and friends.

• Traveling internationally with his wife.

• Exploring Colorado’s outdoors — hiking, camping, fishing, skiing — and visiting national and state parks.

These passions reflect his broader love for life and health — aligning with the values he brings to his medical practice.
