Smita R Gupta, MD

I cannot overstate how grateful I am to have Dr. Gupta as my rheumatologist. I have had arthritis for thirteen years, so I have seen multiple doctors. None have been as amazing as her. Dr. Gupta listens to her patients and treats them with respect and compassion. These qualities in a doctor are crucial to a person with a chronic medical condition. She is also generous with her time. Many doctors are frugal with their time (for I’m sure many reasons). This can leave a patient feeling unheard and uncared for. This is not the case with her. I truly believe she has enhanced my quality of life. She is never satisfied with the status quo and is always looking for the best treatment options, whether they are traditional or not, and she does not believe in a one size fits all approach. She takes the time to get to know her patients and customize their treatment to assist them in living as best as possible. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of the services she provides.

I was recently diagnosed with RA and realized how few practitioners offer options beyond western medicine. That said, I am not opposed to medication when it’s necessary and helpful.
Finding Dr. Gupta made me grateful to live in Los Angeles, where a practitioner like her is available. She’s been able to offer alternative treatments, while also prescribing medication when necessary.
I never feel rushed and she takes notes, so I know she’s actually listening. It’s really reassuring to know I have her on my health-​care team. Additionally, she’s supportive of the research I do and feels like a real advocate for my health.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Gupta for a few years as she’s helping «clean up» the complications I’m dealing with from a hip replacement.

There are many doctors and then there are healters like Dr. Gupta. My husband & I have been seeing her for the last few years & she answers all our concerns. We both are believers of preventive healing such as accupunture & homopathy which is also available. It has helped us both with muscle spains & many other conditions. Her office is calm & restful not like most doctors offices.

It’s rare to find someone who is qualified from BOTH the conventional & also the integrative perspectives. Dr. Gupta is excellent, highly recommended.
