Intermountain Health Vascular Surgery Clinic Opens to Serve North Denver Area
Desarom Teso MD, a vascular surgeon with Intermountain Health, knows that when patients come to see him, they may have life- or limb-saving decisions to make.
Dr. Teso is an expert in identifying and treating conditions affecting arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels—the network responsible for circulating blood and fluids throughout the body to keep it functioning.
When something impedes that movement, Dr. Teso understands the potential gravity of the situation. His philosophy in those moments is to provide the right education and guidance so together he and his patients can make the best decisions.
“I strive to treat each patient as a family member and to guide them throughout their journey to healing,” Dr. Teso said.
This month Dr. Teso and Intermountain Health opened the Intermountain Health Lafayette Vascular Surgery Clinic. The clinic is located at 340 Exempla Circle in Lafayette on the campus of Intermountain Health Good Samaritan Hospital. Previously, he worked at Intermountain Health St. Mary’s Regional Hospital in Grand Junction, and at Columbia Network Vascular Surgery in Vancouver, Wash.
Dr. Teso delivers comprehensive, high-quality care for individuals with arterial and venous disorders, including arterial occlusive disease, aneurysmal disease, varicose veins, vascular trauma, dialysis access, deep vein thrombosis, and leg swelling.
The practice ensures prompt appointments, utilizes advanced diagnostic tools, and provides a complete range of treatment options from minimally invasive techniques to complex surgical procedures.
Dr. Teso, a fellowship-trained vascular surgeon with over 15 years of experience, serves as the program's site lead surgeon. His expertise includes limb preservation and complex aneurysm repair. Dr. Teso is fluent in both Lao and English.
Tej Singh, MD, Intermountain Health’s regional medical director for Vascular Services and Cardiovascular Services in Western Colorado, supports the program. Dr. Singh is dual board-certified in vascular and general surgery and focuses on carotid, aortic, and venous diseases.
The vascular clinic is fully staffed with specialized and mid-level caregivers, a vascular laboratory, operating room and endovascular suite, and advanced vascular and wound care services.
“This team just achieved Vascular Verification status at Intermountain Health St. Mary’s Regional Hospital in Grand Junction, making it the first community-based hospital in America to receive verification by the American College of Surgeons and the Society for Vascular Surgery,” said Dr. Singh. “We are excited to expand our expertise and bring that same level of quality, service, and the esteemed reputation for excellent patient care to vascular patients on the Front Range.”
