WHAT MY PATIENTS SAY

Psychiatric care works best when there’s trust and a good fit.

Here are some of the things patients have shared about working with me.

Listening

“Dr. Gupta is the best psychiatrist I’ve worked with.”
“Great listener. Asks good questions and makes one feel heard and supported.”
“Supportive and doesn’t judge.”
“Very easy to talk to.”
“Dr. Gupta is remarkable at his trade. His demeanor is consistently even. He truly allows you to work through each session however you’d like, and provides you with simple helpful tools over time. He is open to communication and questioning.”

I spend time getting to know you first. We go through what you’ve tried before, what helped, what didn’t, and what you’re hoping will change.

Medication

“I was on a tremendous amount of meds (overmedicated), and he helped to get me off of them. I am now doing great.”
“He carefully goes over the ‘why’ behind any medication he recommends.”
“He isn’t pushy with medication.”
“Really excellent, both his approach to medication and the talk therapy sessions I have done with him have been extremely helpful.”

Medication is one part of treatment. If we consider it, we talk it through carefully. I explain what I’m thinking and what the options are. If we make changes, we do it thoughtfully.

Thoroughness

“Dr. Gupta called me right after I made my appointment to confirm and get a bit of info, which I thought was cool. In my appointment, he was thorough, respectful, and extremely easy to talk to… He got all my GI doctors’ names… this sort of thoroughness is not necessarily the standard.”

When needed, I coordinate with other physicians and take the time to understand the full medical picture.

Beyond Medication

“His approach is far more holistic and patient than simply prescribing meds.”
“Gave me hope wrapped in science and humanity.”
“Dr. Gupta has been fantastic. He is an amazing clinician and honestly helped me through a tough period in my life. I highly recommend him.”

Sessions aren’t just about symptoms. We look at patterns, stress, relationships, work, and overall quality of life.

Continuity

“I saw Dr. Gupta for a year and a half… I was going through severe anxiety… I am now doing great.”
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Gupta for almost a decade. I wouldn’t want to go to any other doctor.”
“I trust him with my brain chemistry and mental health.”

Some people come in for a period of focused care. Others stay longer. Either way, the work continues at a pace that makes sense.

Progress

“Dr. Gupta was more helpful in a 90 minute session than the combined 6 months of therapy I’d experienced before.”
“With Dr. Gupta’s treatment, my quality of life has dramatically changed for the better.”

Teaching

Earlier in my career, I taught medical students and psychiatry trainees. In 2014, I received a teaching award as a faculty member at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

“Excellent role model as a psychiatrist and teacher… Definitely one of the best teachers I have had.”
“Dr. Gupta was an amazing teacher… probably the best interviewing experiences I’ve ever had with an attending.”
“Dr. Gupta’s expertise was invaluable and inspiring… One of the best experiences I’ve had in medical school.”

If you’d like to meet, please schedule a consultation. I look forward to working with you.
