Personalized Medications That Put You First

“I helped start Triangle because too many people were being underserved by one-size-fits-all medicine or could not receive life-saving medications because of drug shortages.”

For more than 25 years, Danny Barnes has been dedicated to helping patients achieve better health through personalized, high-quality medications. Danny leads a team committed to custom care—formulating medications that meet individual needs when commercial options fall short.

Early in his career, Danny saw how many patients were underserved by commercially available medicine. That realization led him to help open and grow Triangle Compounding Pharmacy in 1999, with a mission to create medications that put the patient - not the prescription - at the center.

Danny’s expertise spans a wide range of complex therapies, including personalized hormone replacement, ophthalmic medications to preserve vision, and high-risk pain management solutions like intrathecal pain pump formulations. Today, he is focused on advancing “N of 1” medicine—leveraging automation and AI to deliver personalized treatments for each unique patient.

“At Triangle Compounding, I see advanced technology, pharmacogenomics and AI as force multipliers for personalized care. They help us translate complex data into precise, patient‑specific therapies—safely, faster, and at scale. As these tools evolve, we’ll use them to anticipate needs, reduce variability, and close accessibility gaps, so every person can  receive the right medication, in the right dose, at the right time.”

He is a Board-Certified Sterile Compounding Pharmacist and serves on the Board of Directors for the North Carolina Integrative Medical Society. He is also a long-standing member of the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding and a regular voice in the national compounding community.

Danny earned his Pharm.D. from Campbell University after completing his undergraduate studies at NC State University. Outside the pharmacy, he enjoys spending time with his family and gives back through church and community involvement.

Aaron Buchanan brings over 13 years of compounding experience to the Triangle team, with a focus on high-risk sterile compounding. Originally from the mountains of Western North Carolina, Aaron completed his undergraduate studies at Mars Hill University, where he also met his wife, Carlee. He later moved east to pursue his Doctor of Pharmacy degree at Campbell University.

At Triangle Compounding Pharmacy, Aaron leads a talented team in preparing complex sterile formulations with precision and care. His deep knowledge of sterile techniques and dedication to patient safety make him an invaluable member of the team.

Outside the pharmacy, Aaron enjoys time with his growing family and can often be found out on the golf course.
