Praveen Gupta, MD

Finding a PCP is hard in the DMV especially one that can see you in a timely manner. I’ve always had a great experience with Dr Gupta. He is thorough and knowledgeable of the ever changing health recommendation landscape. He recently won an award for top doctor in DC (2015). I have found him to always be on time, very responsive, and just on top of it. He delivers high quality patient centered care. My only small critique is he does talk a lot but that is part of the cognitive evaluation that doctors do so I’ll let it slide :)

I wish I could give Dr. Gupta a 10-​star rating. He is truly epitomizes being a healer. Knowledgeable, involved and patient — Dr. Gupta always goes above and beyond for his patients. My entire family and I have seen him at some point or the other. His holistic approach to medicine is truly appreciated by each of us. I have always admired a physician who wanted to treat the illness and not the symptom. His love for medicine reflects in his treatments. I also had the privilege of shadowing Dr. Gupta for a period of time; he is brilliant and accommodating. He went out of his way to quiz me on upcoming exams and patiently helped me understand concepts in a real-​life setting. He allowed me to be hands-​on with patients (attaining vital signs, assisting with annual physicals, diabetic counseling, etc) while supervising and guiding me. He maintains a professional boundary, all the while making all patients feel like family. I strive to be a better healthcare professional thanks to my mentor, Dr. Praveen Gupta.

Very friendly doctor, excellent «bedside manner», and seems very sharp and knowledgable.

Dr. Gupta has been my personal physician for over 20 years, and he will remain as such for as long as he practices medicine. He is not only a brilliant doctor, he is also a warm, kind, empathetic person, who shows his patients genuine concern and compassion. He looks at the individual as a whole, above and beyond just focusing on specific symptoms. His training is in traditional western medicine, but he does not dismiss the mind-​body connection, as far too may doctors do. His staff is always efficient and courteous, and I always leave with a good feeling, regardless of my state of health! If you are in need of a physician, or just tired of the substandard care you are currently receiving, you must give Dr. Gupta a try.

Dr. Gupta is amazing! He really wants to know about all of his patients, and he remembers everything about each and every one. He was recommended to me through a family member and I am so glad I went. The office is very low-​frills. Not super fancy, but you can tell its so that they can keep costs down for their patients. They helped me with my insurance and were so amazing. I’ll be going to Dr. Gupta for a long time.

My name is Claudia Ansah, and I am a patient of Dr. Praveen K. Gupta and have been for over 17 years. Dr. Gupta is not only my doctor, he is also like a family member to me and my family. I feel like as a patient you should be able to talk to your doctor about anything that you are going through, not just medically, but also on a personal and confidential level. I have known him for too long to know that he is a doctor who cares about his patients entire well-​being. I can call him at anytime about anything that is going on about me or any member of my family even though he doesn’t see any of them, and he is willing to talk to me about anything. He knows what I am going through as his patient and he cares about me. I love going to him, just to sit and talk to him is a therapy for me. I don’t have anything bad to say about him and his entire team. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a primary doctor. He is unique, hardworking, very knowledgable and knows what he is talking about. I myself there are times when I cannot pay for my visits and he just wrote it off without charging me. He knows that we are struggling and financially it has been a challenge for me and my family and so because of this, he has been very lenient with co-​pays etc. He is an incredible individual and it is hard to come across someone who is very patient, takes his time with his patient, not just an hour visit and make sure that you are well taken care of. He believes in treating others as he would like to be treated and he has so much sympathy and empathy for others and what they might be going through. Thank you so much Dr. Praveen K. Gupta, Moni and the team. I cannot do it without you all on my side. May God bless your handiwork.

After moving here from Portland, Oregon I found myself in search of a new general practitioner.
After many frustrated calls around to people I’d found on
who didn’t seem to be accepting any new patients (how convenient), I came across Dr. Gupta’s profile.
He’s close to my apartment, which is convenient; but (for those of us who are in between insurance carriers) also well priced.
The office staff are not your typical staff who are, well, all attitude, quite frankly. The staff at his office have always been quite pleasant and professional, per my experience. They’ve also been very accommodating when I’d felt the need for an urgent visit; going out of their way to find a way to squeeze me in.
As for the doctor himself, I am very grateful to have found him. I’ve really never felt as comfortable with any other doctor. I’ve never felt rushed; I’ve never felt as though any questions I have are silly and I always feel that I’ve got his undivided attention and that he really cares. He’s very kind and attentive. A very cool guy.
Also, he’s definitely NOT a prescription-​happy physician; which I am grateful for. He’s very good about making sure that any information given is understood and very good at communicating.
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Gupta. He’s reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy and just a very good doctor in general.

If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable general practitioner, I highly recommend Dr. Gupta. His office is a little small and sometimes the check-​in desk can be a bit chaotic, but it’s nothing I can’t deal with.
Dr. Gupta is incredibly personable and friendly, and doesn’t rush through appointments. He always makes sure to answer any question you might have. I’d say his method is straightforward — tried-​and-​true. He doesn’t recommend anything radical and is not prescription-​happy (although I realize this might count as a negative to some people :))
One thing I appreciate is his understanding of medical insurance — he won’t send you off to a specialist or do anything that will come back and bite you in the ass, insurance-​wise. However, this is not to say you should rely on him instead of familiarizing yourself with your policy.
Be warned that Wednesdays are a very busy time at the office, because there are several other doctors there that use the space.
