\I am a vascular surgeon with the training and experience to treat the full scope of vascular disease, however I do have a passion for preventing amputations. I have spent my career building both technical and academic expertise in the field of limb preservation for patients with diabetes and vascular disease (peripheral artery disease/PAD). My academic focus is on addressing health disparities related to amputation and working in underserved communities to achieve health equity through sustainable, community focused programs. Clinically, I have come to Duke to build a comprehensive multidisciplinary Threatened Limb Clinic. At our clinic, we work together with podiatry and wound care to closely care for our patient population and give them the ""\""TLC""\"" they deserve.""""https://www.dukehealth.org/sites/default/files/styles/doctor_profile/public/physician/samantha-d-minc-md-mph.jpg?itok=OxS6Ax1O Aetna | Ambetter | Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC | Cigna | Duke Group Plans | Experience Health | Gateway Health Alliance | Healthgram | Humana | MedCost | Medicare | NC Medicaid | TRICARE | United Healthcare active English no Duke Regional Vascular Access 407 Crutchfield St Durham NC 27704-2726 US https://www.dukehealth.org/find-doctors-physicians/samantha-d-minc-md-mph https://corporate.dukehealth.org/sites/default/files/2025-06/Duke%20Health%20Approved%20Logos_1.png. Dr. Minc is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Carotid Artery Disease. Her top areas of expertise are Carotid Artery Disease, Peripheral Artery Disease, Arterial Embolism, Carotid Artery Surgery, and Stent Placement.

As a surgeon that specializes in the vascular system, which is the body's network of blood vessels, I appreciate that there are many different ways to significantly help people. I truly believe making a connection with a person is one of the most important aspects in patient care. I don’t tell my patients what decision to make about their health. It's my job to understand the priorities in their life and then give them information and guidance to make their own decision. In doing so, a stroke can be prevented by repairing arteries to the brain. Fixing an aneurysm, which is caused by a weakness in the wall of an artery, can save someone from hemorrhaging to death, and treating the arteries to the legs can prevent an amputation or help reduce some causes of severe leg pain. Dr. Shortell is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Carotid Artery Disease. Her top areas of expertise are Varicose Veins, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm, Carotid Artery Surgery, and Thrombectomy.

I love being a vascular surgeon because it provides the opportunity to treat disease in all aspects of the body. I specialize in arterial disease, whether that means preventing an abdominal aortic aneurysm from rupturing or performing a bypass to end debilitating leg pain. Vascular surgery is a unique combination of traditional technical challenges and modern technology, which allows for minimally invasive procedures. Most important, vascular surgery allows me to create long-term relationships with my patients. I like to sit down and speak with patients and their families in order to create a family atmosphere where patients feel they can talk to me about anything. At the end of the day, we are all on the same team. Dr. Long is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Carotid Artery Disease.

On my days off, my boys and I are big on fishing. I enjoy drinking and collecting tea. As a stroke doctor, I do not drink coffee at all (there is a reason for it). If you come to see, I will tell you. Dr. Feng is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Carotid Artery Disease.

I am a cardiologist who has been at Duke for over 15 years. I grew up in North Carolina and am proud to call Durham home. My father was a physician and my mother was a nurse, so I always thought about going into medicine. Cardiology came most naturally to me during medical school. The best part of being a doctor is the feeling you get from having genuinely helped someone in a meaningful way. I enjoy practicing at Duke, because I get to work with a lot of smart people who are dedicated to helping patients. When patients have challenging issues, Duke is a great place to receive care because of the access we have to top-notch providers and resources.

I am a stroke-trained neurologist and neurohospitalist. I mainly manage acute neurological conditions in the hospital setting, and help direct Duke Regional Hospital's stellar acute stroke program, where we are recognized by the Joint Commission as a Primary Stroke Center. I am very interested in how we, as health care providers, deliver neurologic care in the hospital, and how we can improve that care and resulting health outcomes. I also see patients in clinic with cerebrovascular diseases, stroke, and aneurysms and manage these diseases long-term. When I am away from the hospital I enjoy spending time with my wife and our young daughter, and participate in auto racing and high performance driving events.

My research and clinical focus is cerebrovascular disease, specifically the treatment of brain aneurysms, brain arteriovenous malformations, carotid disease, Moya-moya and stroke. I also treat patients with brain tumors and spine issues. In general, I like to analyze complex problems and propose simple solutions. In neurosurgery, typically, the simplest solution is the safest. Your safety and best possible treatment is my number one priority. More often than not, you may be surprised to learn that after thorough analysis of all the information, you may not need treatment, but instead careful observation. If treatment is indicated, I provide a comprehensive spectrum of care including radiosurgery, minimally invasive treatment in the cathlab, and open surgery. At Duke, I love to be able to offer these services as a member of a friendly and fabulous team. In addition, I am proud to be able to provide the newest clinical treatment options available. My ultimate goal is to further improve patient experience and outcomes. My hobbies are playing the piano, hiking, skiing and gardening, which I enjoy together with my wife and four children.

I am a vascular neurologist, and my passion is to help patients suffering from strokes, maximize their recovery, improve quality of life, and prevent recurrent strokes. Stroke is a sudden and often unexpected event that is life changing for many. In my clinical practice, I care for stroke patients along the continuum from the hospital to the clinic setting. My approach to clinical care is to get to know the person I am treating, establish their priorities for their medical care, and work with them to identify strategies to address their concerns and achieve desired outcomes.

As a trained vascular neurosurgeon, I specialize in the treatment of vascular diseases of the brain and spine. These typically include aneurysms, vascular malformations, vessel narrowing, carotid disease, and strokes, in addition to general neurosurgical care. Many of these conditions are complex to diagnose and treat and, therefore, I completed additional training specifically in cerebrovascular conditions to help achieve the best possible outcomes. My goal is to listen to your concerns, inform you to the best of my ability about your condition and considerations for treatment options, and ultimately serve as your guide to find the best pathway forward. As a patient at Duke Health, you will have access to a world-class team of specialists, providers, and resources that help me provide comprehensive care for your condition.

Hailing from the Great Plains of Kansas, my neurology origin story can be traced back to the neuroanatomy lab. Learning about the brain helped me choose to pursue a career specializing in stroke care. Throughout my training, I've seen how devastating strokes can be and preventing strokes from happening in the first place continues to be key in the fight against stroke. Stroke prevention requires the dispersion of accurate information to the general public, and it brings me great joy to be an advocate for the community in regards to spreading this important education. In addition to educating the general public, I am also passionate about educating others within the medical field. Helping to train the next generation of medical professionals while keeping up to date with the latest research is an exciting endeavor, and you will often see me accompanied by learners at various stages in their career.

I perform all types of vascular surgery from taking care of varicose veins to fixing aneurysms and everything in between. One of the things I love about my field is that I get to treat the whole patient. Once they come see me, they become my patient forever; it’s critical to develop a long-term relationship with them. My job is to not only treat whatever issues they came to see me about, but also to learn about what led to their problems. It’s important to have discussions on their risk factors so they can improve their day-to-day life and reduce the chance of needing additional procedures. When I meet with patients, I think it’s important to present them with all the options available and find out what matches their personal goals. Outside of work, I enjoy sailing, scuba diving and taking my two dogs hiking. Dr. Mureebe is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Carotid Artery Disease.
