About Gabriel Lupu, MD
I chose to become a doctor because medicine combined my love for science and problem solving with helping patients to navigate their illness. In applying specialized knowledge and training I am able to collaborate with a team and help the sick feel better, which is the greatest reward.

I chose to become a doctor because medicine combined my love for science and problem solving with helping patients to navigate their illness. In applying specialized knowledge and training I am able to collaborate with a team and help the sick feel better, which is the greatest reward. It also allows me to participate in clinical research to contribute to the greater scientific community. I approach a patient as a whole person and take pride in being an advocate for their needs while under my care. I aspire to take full ownership in understanding a case and figuring out the best plan of action collaboratively. Outside of work, I enjoy exercising, playing basketball, supporting local sports teams and my hometown Detroit teams. I like reading and writing creatively and taking care of my Labrador named Wallace.

UNC Health contracts with most health insurance companies including, but not limited to, the ones listed here. While we do our best to keep this list up-to-date, it often changes. Professional fees charged by care providers and organizations who are not employed, owned or managed by UNC Health may not be included under the same insurance contracts and may bill separately. Before scheduling your appointment, please contact the organization or care provider in charge of delivering these services as they may be able to help you identify who will be providing these services. Your insurance company can help to determine which specific services, locations and providers are covered by your plan as well as provide you with information regarding co-payments, deductibles or any additional charges that may be your responsibility. UNC Health makes no representation or guarantee of benefits or coverage. Services not covered by your insurance company will be your responsibility.
