Apr 01, 2024
After 20+ years as my Doctor, Dr. Gupta knows me very well and remembers things about my health that I have forgotten. In the past year or so I have lost about 35 lbs. I think Dr. Gupta's mild suggestion that I consider a plant based diet had a significant Impact on my weight loss, as did her refusal to harp at me to lose weight. Knowing I wouldn't get a sermon is what kept me continuing to come for regular check-ups.
Mar 30, 2024

I appreciate her effort [...] Dr. Gupta has been following me closely for this illness
Apr 22, 2023
The negligence of paperwork is very disappointing. 1) My mother, [...] years old, has been participating in the [...] program since 2017. Once a year, her PCP is supposed to renew a [...] form. The last two years, filling out this form has become a big problem. [...] sent the form to Dr Gupta in [...], before the visit. They indicated that the form must be returned no later than [...], otherwise my mother could lose her [...]. I myself also gave Dr. Gupta another copy during the visit. She, as always, promised to fill it in a timely manner. And again it was not done. On [...], [...] faxed the form again, this time asking Dr Gupta to complete it ASAP. On [...], [...] called me to say that they had not received the form back. Again, I had to contact the office several times before they finally completed this simple paperwork. Naturally, my mother was again very nervous, due to that. It's amazing the doctor doesn't understand this. [...] Since her last lab tests were done a year ago, the Dr Gupta said at the visit that new ones were needed and that she would order them now. Unfortunately, this has not yet been done either.
