Ajay Gupta, MD

Dr. Gupta was an excellent family physician for our family for over 15 years. We highly recommend him!

Well Dr G is good most of the time. His nurse is a pill and very unhelpful. She does not return calls for days and acts as if you are a bother. I recently had a car rear end me and the «office policy» is that they won’t see patients who have been in an auto accident because the paper work and trouble are too much for them and they may not get paid. Patients have to pay them up front or not get any care, even though I have been a patient there for many years. Perhaps no more. They gave me the the card of some weird clinic that will see me. Why would I want to go to some strangers who are way out of my way? Seriously? They have to have my personal money out of my pocket to treat me, a long term patient, just in case they don’t get the office visit money from an insurance company? I guess this is the case for other offices but it is very bad service. It puts patients in a really bad situation and causes stress for people who do not deserve it. Shame on them.

Awesome doctor i have been seeing him for at least 20 years and he has always been great!

Pros: Dr. Gupta was very helpful and understanding. He didn’t accuse me of gaining weight because I was hanging out with Big Macs every night. He seemed genuinely worried that I had a series of health problems in my family and wanted to make sure that I was going to be able to figure out what was going on with my body.
The woman who took my vitals and entered my info into the computer was very nice and sweet. The lovely woman who took my blood was awesome, and I barely even noticed blood was pumping out of my arm.
They have a lab in house for collecting blood and are nice enough to send your samples off to another lab if your insurance doesn’t cover Quest Diagnostics.
Cons: The receptionist acted as if I was wasting her time by showing up. She was much friendlier when I checked out, but that might have been the huge plate of food she was eating.

Dr. Gupta is the best!

I have since gone back to see Dr. Gupta and the man is awesome. I think he’s a great doctor and I appreciate any doctor these days who takes the time to really discuss my problems and shows interest in them. I also appreciate that the staff goes over potential charges that insurance may or may not cover and gives me choices, unlike some doctor I’ve seen recently.
However, two reasons prevent me from continuing with him as my GP. The first is that I moved pretty far south and it’s not so convenient. The second is that barracuda front staff of theirs. I have never had a great or pleasant experience with them, and I’m so polite! I would forget the convenience factor and continue to see him if it weren’t for that awful front desk staff.

I concur with the other 2009 reviews. I really appreciate Dr. Gupta’s «bedside manner» — he takes time, listens, asks questions, but his staff is. .. baaaad. The check-​in receptionist is unfriendly and unfocused. His nurse is the worst — she always seems to be in a bad mood and acts like she is always put out when she takes your vitals. Once on the phone, I asked her if I should call her back because it seemed I was bothering her. The next visit, she acted differently.
I do have to say that the phebotomist is very good, and friendly.
Give Gutpa a try, but know that you’ll have to run the gautlet of a very unpleasant staff.

I have been with Dr. Gupta since I was about ten or eleven years old.
I like him as a person and for ordinary aches and pains and fevers, he does the job.
However, I have had several issues in the past that have been misdiagnosed, referrals and prescriptions not sent, many miscommunications with nursing staff, many tests that should have been requested never ordered…
I have felt like a bit of a Guinea pig when it comes to medicines and antibiotics. While Dr. Gupta is open to natural remedies… I feel like there is very little attempting to see the big picture or think outside of the box.
While I do like some things about Dr. Gupta and Jefferson Street, the negatives have absolutely outweighed the positives…
On to hopefully greener pastures.

We took my husband to Dr. Gupta after he had been seen by two other doctors for chronic fever lasting over 3 weeks…(admittedly those Drs. were in Canada and in spite of what you’ve been told, or think you would experience, it was a pretty shoddy experience trying to get treatment in Canada — and my husband is a citizen!) When we returned to the states we came to Dr. Gupta incredibly worried after these other doctors prescribed antibiotics and sent us on our way. He spend about 15 minutes with us discussing the symptoms and asking questions. He ran actual blood tests, ordered actual screenings and diagnosed my husband with mono! Seems so silly, but somewhat unnerving when no one would spend enough time to actually run a test before prescribing!
I will say this, the Jefferson Street practice is definitely a ‘Family Practice’ so when we were there, there were screaming kids in the waiting room and harried moms… which was annoying, but who cares, Dr. Gupta was great.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Gupta for about three years now. He is very knowledgeable about asthma, which I’ve been treated for with him. Sometimes I have to wait quite a while, upwards of 25 – 30 minutes, in the examination room. But Dr. Gupta always takes time to answer all of my questions fully and that is important. My two top qualities for a doctor are (1) knows what s/​he is doing, and (2) takes time to answer my questions. And Dr. Gupta satisfies those very well.

Yes, as a new patient, they only offered me a select window for appointment times, but I can understand the logic. They just aren’t a walk-​in clinic. This was fine, since I went there for a chronic concern, rather than sudden illness.
The waiting room is NICE, almost perfect. Plenty of tissues, non-​germy chairs, magazines, no television, and excellent artwork on colorful walls. The front desk staff was pleasant, our interactions minimal.
When I was taken back, I was quickly seen by a 3^rd year medical student. He took my history, asked lots of questions, and did the usual ear checking. A few minutes later, Dr. Gupta came in, followed up, asked more questions, and gave me some interesting new information about prescription options. He expressed a great deal of widsom about what drugs are on the market and why they may or may not be the best solution, and he showed an unusual willingness to experiment with different solutions, should I decide to try a different approach. The signage advertising available acupuncture also made me feel good. Here is someone who seemed comfortable with multiple-​approach treatment.
His professionalism was great, but he did seem a bit rushed and distracted at the end. But hey, when you’re running a good practice, it’s true, people are going to ask a lot from you. Thumbs up.

While I have yet to see Dr. Gupta (just transferred to him as my PCP a couple of months ago) I’ve got to say I’m very pleased with this office so far. When I had to see a doc a couple of month’s ago, the staff at this office went out of their way to get me in before the weekend (I had called on a Thursday) even though I was a completely new patient. Then when I arrived for my appointment, they were ready to see me 10 minutes before they were even supposed to. When was the last time you were in a doctor’s office that was so well run that they saw you before your scheduled time? I was quickly diagnosed, and was out the door before I knew it. This kind of service is hard to find when it comes to the medical services field, and I’m happy to have Dr. Gupta as my doctor (even though I’ve yet to meet him).

Dr. Gupta literally saved my life. One year ago, I went in complaining of allergies. Something sparked Dr. Gupta to feel like that’s not what it was. He ordered a CT Scan with the results stat. That afternoon, I was in the hospital, surrounded by my friends as I waited to be biopsied the next day. It turned out I had non-hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of cancer that would have killed me in 6 months if Dr. Gupta hadn’t been as astute as he was.
Needless to say, if you’re looking for a GP, Dr. Gupta is your man.
