Samy M. Riad, M.D.

Samy Magdy Riad, M.D., M.S., is a transplant nephrologist specializing in kidney transplantation, pancreas transplantation, and the care of patients with advanced kidney disease and diabetes. He provides comprehensive evaluation and management for kidney transplant candidates and recipients, including simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation for patients with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. His areas of expertise include managing complex transplant-related conditions such as BK virus nephropathy, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), transplant-associated malignancies, and recurrent urinary tract infections after transplantation. He is board certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology and is committed to delivering individualized, evidence-based care that supports long-term transplant success.

Dr. Riad's clinical focus is centered on optimizing outcomes through personalized immunosuppression strategies and collaborative, patient-centered care. He believes that patients who understand their condition and treatment options are better equipped to participate in important healthcare decisions.

His care philosophy reflects Mayo Clinic's commitment to putting patients first: "The best care begins by putting the patient first, empowering them with knowledge, and treating them with the same compassion I would want for my own family."

Outside of medicine, Dr. Riad enjoys cooking, racquet sports, and traveling with his family.
