“I love my job because I can help return patients to functioning and living their lives after an injury.”

Dr. Medda specializes in orthopedic trauma surgery. He has clinical interests in fractures of the upper and lower extremities, post-traumatic reconstruction and hip arthroplasty.

Dr. Medda’s engineering background naturally lent itself to pursuing a career in orthopedics, and his experience as a trauma patient led him to specialize in orthopedic trauma.

He is involved in research projects which attempt to improve outcomes of fracture treatments and surgeries.

Dr. Medda received his bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering at North Carolina State University and his medical degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He completed residency at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, formerly known as Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, and a fellowship at Atrium Health’s Carolinas Medical Center.

When he’s not working, he loves spending time with his wife, Ashleigh. They enjoy relaxing at the lake, and he enjoys watching his favorite sports teams.
