A Legacy at MedCare

After completing his Family Practice residency, Dr. Mecca moved from New York to Columbus, GA, in 1993 to work as an Urgent Care physician at MedCare, then known as Columbus Emergency Center. His career at MedCare evolved as he joined Columbus Regional Healthcare as a Family Physician in 1998.

In 2002, he returned to his roots, purchasing MedCare from his former employer. Dr. Mecca established his own Family Practice within the facility while continuing to operate the Urgent Care center.

For the past 23 years, Dr. Mecca has successfully operated both Family Practice and Urgent Care at MedCare, creating a trusted healthcare hub for patients across the community.

Outside the office, Dr. Mecca enjoys spending time with his family, staying active, and giving back to the Columbus community.
