Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Not only is she the worst doctor to ever exist but she is a horrible person. She is very judgmental, rude, and unprofessional. she always refused the testing I requested and tried to blame it on insurance, which was a blatant lie. Another time she told me not to come back until I lost 20 pounds. The only thing she is good at is making people feel like crap. I'm not sure how or why she still has her medical license

my mom used to see her when i was a kid so i figured why not? she dismissed everything i was saying and when told her i need a refill on my meds (zoloft) she wants a blood test first. they’re not going to be in my blood because i don’t have them until they’re refilled but go off. i haven’t been to a doctor in 5 years so there’s a lot wrong with me and everytime i mentioned a concern she rolled her eyes. told me if i don’t get the blood test don’t bother coming back… was there for 2 hours mostly waiting so yeah

Dr. Gupta is a rare find she does a thorough examination and takes all the time you need. Dr. Helped me to understand end of life and kidney disease bringing me to terms with losing my mom. For this reason I’m bringing my father in law to her and she is very good with him. I also have recommended her for my brother and son. She is direct, intelligent, and is not rushing you out before you are done. I think she is great. You can talk to her and she treats you with respect.

I had a 9:30am appointment. I showed up at 9:25am and checked in. After waiting 25 minutes I asked the secretary if I should come back or reschedule and she told me the doctor has not even showed up to work yet. I left. I will be switching doctors after this doctor actions show disrespect to me.

Worst doctor ever. She’s been rescheduling my appointments for 6 months. And been asking for my life saving inhaler for 3 months. Says she won’t give it to me until I’m seen and keeps rescheduling my appointment !

Only chose her because shes close to home but she is THE WORST doctor i've ever had. She's very judgmental and goes out of her way to make you feel bad about yourself. She does not listen, refuses to run tests I ask for, and she lies about what my insurance does and does not cover. I truly don't understand how she is still allowed to practice and I am ecstatic to pick a new doctor
