My mom now resides at the Gardens at Wakefield Plantation senior living apartment complex and we…read moreneeded a new general medical practice near by for her. We found Avance Primary Care while searching online. Their staff and care reviews were excellent and appt days and times seemed very easily accessible so we called. That very first phone conversation with the receptionist (unfortunately I didn't write down her name :/ it may have been Victoria??) was extremely warm and patient and helpful as I explained mom's needs. She listened carefully and asked thoughtful questions and recommended Dr. Lam. (Mom had definitely not been exactly keen on this whole new doctor plan and had been dragging her feet for a very long time.) Upon entering the office we were immediately greeted cheerfully and warmly by Anthony and Shirley at the front desk. They definitely put mom at ease throughout the check in process with their easy lighthearted banter and professionalism. Anthony directed us to a private computer cubby and very patiently explained how to fill out all the new patient forms electronically. Medical Assistant, Cierra, brought us back to the exam room and completed the initial assessment and vitals with just as easy and welcoming and professional manner. She was also very caring and thoughtful and concerned as I expressed some thoughts about mom with her privately. Dr. Lam came in and from the moment she stepped into the room she worked some magic and absolutely engaged mom from the get go! She was smart, insightful, caring, respectful, and gently got right to the heart of mom's needs while addressing and calming her fears and concerns. We made follow up appts with Dr. Lam and two of their other on site health care practitioners to additionally address mom's varied needs. She also set up referrals to two other outside practitioners in the area for more specialized health care needs. We feel we definitely made the right choice! Mom expressed that she would feel very comfortable going to see them on her own for any care she may need!! Thank you to the whole staff for a wonderful first experience! I'm sure mom will talk about this positively with her friends at The Gardens and I would without hesitation recommend this practice! Elaine Elbeery (for Barbara Poole) Winterville NC

So I had to stand there for over 5 minutes for them to finish their conversation before the employee sitting at the desk asked how she could help. I stated my name and it took her a split second to hand me the paperwork signed by my awesome doctor. Both of these employees were discouteous, and unprofessional. They both need remedial training on how to treat patients when they enter the doctors office. This has never happened before at Duke Primary care in wake forest and I hope this review finds them both well. ​

After that, a coordinator will contact you to schedule. They do not offer an electronic version of the documents that are required. Requiring patients to make two physical visits to the clinic during standard business hours before being able to schedule an appointment is an unreasonable hoop to jump through for access to care. I can't comment on the quality of care that may or may not be provided by the team at this office once you are an established patient. My rating is based solely on the practice having a policy that limits patient access to healthcare.

I'm not pleased with this medical office. I started coming here when my doctor and others left…read moretheir practice and started working here. Then some of them left here and started a new practice. I likely should have left then. The doctor I had been seeing canceled my appointments three times in 2024. In January then July and again in September. I'm not sure if they have too many patients but it is very hard to get an appointment that isn't months out. The provider I had been seeing liked to run tests even if these same tests were just done by another provider and she had a copy of the tests. I had enough of that and some of the tests were just unnecessary but could be billed. Prescribing unneeded medicine was something else I noticed here too. I've already tried another provider in the office but she was not good with listening to my concerns either and not very thorough. I will try another before moving to another office.

OMG...have you ever been to a provider who didn't listen to you yet wanted to schedule you for a…read morebunch of mess you didn't come there for?? Whelp, that was my experience today. I went in as a new patient to this location because it's close to where I live. The provider I researched & wanted to see wasn't taking new patients. Ugh!! So, they put me with nurse practitioner, Kristine. HORRIBLE MISTAKE!! Though she was somewhat personable, she DOES NOT listen. I found myself repeating things over and over & she STILL acted like she didn't hear me. I am a bariatric patient, so there are vitamins that I MUST take for life. She didn't seem to get that. She even told me that she asked a dr there (I don't know who) & they told her that I didn't need B12 injections. I may not NEED them, but that's what I prefer and have been doing for years. Just say your office doesn't prefer to do them. Don't tell me that research said I don't need it because I have "lapband" when I DO NOT HAVE LAPBAND. AGAIN, she didn't listen nor did she pay attention to my records. Where tf did she get lapband from?? Each bariatric procedure has different vitamin needs. So, maybe lapband patients don't need B12, but I DO. Anyway, the HIGHLIGHT of my 2-hour visit (because Kristine was SLOW AF) was the lab tech Ms. Becky & the checkout lady. That's a doggone shame that having tubes and tubes of blood taken was the BEST part of this visit. Smh. Just know that I will NEVER go back to see Kristine. I will drive to my regular provider 40 mins away before I ever go back to see her. And I made sure to tell the checkout lady to take her name OFF my record as a provider I'd want to see for future appts. I was given another person's name there, so if I get desperate enough to go there again, I will try that provider instead. The parking is horrible too. Just park in the back if you want to avoid the traffic nightmare. People just can't drive. This 3-stars is for the lab tech & checkout lady only. If I had to rate based on Kristine, you know what I'd give this place.

Unfortunately, the billing department provides poor service. I have twice been charged during a well visit for services that have been previously mentioned in other appointments.

I told them that I did not do this and they said that I must have brought up things other than what was allowed during my well checkup. I called Blue Cross and they told me that the office was improperly coding the visit and this should not have occurred.

Above all, he is personable, empathetic, and a great listener - critical values for a physician. Under his care, I have been in excellent health. The latest example being this past Saturday morning, I experienced UTI symptoms. I texted and Dr. Belcea immediately called. He said that Monday would be too late for me to see him in the office. With me on the phone, he quickly went over my record to determine the best antibiotics for me based on my medical history over the years. He pointed out that I had a side effect with one medicine which should be avoided this time. Within 30 minutes, the pharmacy texted that they were working on my prescription. And only 2 hours after I took the antibiotics, the symptoms were considerably subdued. All these things happened on a Saturday morning - his personal time. I have also been taking care of a family member, who is a senior with serious health issues. About two months ago, she was admitted to ER 4 times in less than 2 weeks. Dr. Belcea asked her to go to him instead of ER, no matter time and date. She hasn't been to ER since and is doing much better now. She said recently, "I feel so fortunate to be cared for by Dr. Belcea. To have excellent health as well as being able to avoid a life and death situation, the concierge fee is negligible."
