General Practitioners

Primary Care
Please be aware that some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care physician to be seen by a specialist. If one is needed, please contact your primary care physician prior to your appointment to obtain the referral. If we may assist you, please let us know.
Emergency Care
I completed my APRN training at the University of Texas Medical Branch in 2016, and have over 11 years of nursing experience. Prior to joining Triangle Vein Clinic, I worked in primary care and urgent care as an APRN.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound is an important tool that we will use throughout your vein journey. Ultrasound imaging technology is a noninvasive and effective technique that allows us to see your veins. Ultrasound uses sound waves instead of radiation to capture images of veins and arteries.
Radiology
It is an IAC-accredited vein center, which shows Triangle Vein Clinic’s commitment to the highest quality of patient care. In addition, it is a fully accredited ultrasound facility by the American College of Radiology.

Vascular Surgery
Dr. Medina attended undergraduate, graduate, and medical school at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha where he was a Nellie House Craven Scholar in Academic Medicine. He completed his general surgical training at Yale-New Haven Hospital and St. Mary’s Hospital in Connecticut, and his Fellowship in Vascular Surgery at St. Vincent Medical Center in Ohio. Dr. Medina is certified by the American Board of Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the Southeastern Surgical Congress. In addition, Dr. Medina is a Diplomat of the American Board of Surgery. After completing his fellowship, Dr. Medina and his wife Melinda relocated to Cary where they are raising their three children.
Reconstructive Surgery

Ulcer
Many skin sores on the legs are caused by a condition called chronic venous insufficiency. Untreated wounds or skin ulcers caused by chronic venous insufficiency can affect your quality of life. Veins have valves that are one-way gates to keep the blood flowing in one direction. With chronic venous insufficiency, the valves stop working properly allowing blood to pool around the ankles. The pressure on the skin caused by the pooling blood and excess fluid can cause a sore or ulcer to open on the skin surface, usually on the inner side of the ankle. You might experience swelling of the leg and the skin around it becoming dry and itchy. The wound itself typically has a weeping, raw appearance and is often mistaken for an infected sore. Nearly 70 percent of all leg ulcers are the result of venous insufficiency which can’t be treated with topical creams or salves.
Lesions
Telangiectasias (the medical term) are vascular lesions that are commonly seen on the face around the nose, cheeks, and chin. Dilated blood vessels can also develop on the legs, although when they occur on the legs, they often have underlying venous reflux or “hidden varicose veins”. When found on the legs, they are found specifically on the upper thigh, below the knee joint, and around the ankles.
