Dr. Octavian Belcea
Prior to entering the medical field, Dr. Octavian Belcea received his master's degree in Computer Science from Drexel University. In 2000, he received his medical degree from MCP/Hahnemann School of Medicine in Philadelphia, which was followed by his Family Medicine residency at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Dr. Belcea envisioned a unique medical office where patients felt cared for and comfortable sharing their concerns. Dr. Belcea's favorite quote from medical school is "The patient will tell you 80% of what you need to know about their diagnosis; listening is a doctor's most powerful clinical tool."
Dr. Belcea has a passion for comprehensive care of his patients, made possible only by the time that he takes in understanding a patient’s needs and history. His analytical thinking enables him to give the most accurate diagnosis and treatment. As an example to his passion for bettering his patients lives, Dr. Belcea recently developed a cholesterol-lowering oatmeal product that offers a meal alternative to reduce weight, lower cholesterol and encourage healthier living.
