Dr. Rajiva Gupta

I have been Dr. Gupta's patient since 2018. He treats me for psoriatic arthritis which he was able to bring into remission. I am very happy with his treatment, how calm he is, and how he listens to my needs. What I like best is that he supports my career and ensures despite a chronic illness, I am a high performer in office. He is a senior doctor so yes you have to jump through hoops and meet his junior doctors first, and also be patient as you wait for appointment. Most good doctors in India do not spend more than 5-7 minutes with you. As a patient, come prepared! I usually have my questions ready, in bullet points, and I know exactly what joint pain / symptom I need to show him. Even when I am abroad, he continues to treat me using teleconsult. I will never trust another doctor with my condition which is complicated. His approach is balanced, and he never alarms the patient. For those of us with chronic illnesses, that is important. There are ebbs and flows of these diseases. I always feel reassured when I consult him. He insists on seeing bloodwork so come prepared. Doctors cannot diagnose on teleconsult, but they can assess and treat someone they have met before. For those with immune diseases or arthritis, he needs to see you and how you move! Also, be kind and polite to his staff members, that goes a long way. They are people too and its not easy managing a heavy waiting room. That's a sign of a good physician, so bring a book, coffee, and relax while you wait. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Medanta -The Medicity

Post appointment, we met with co Dr. Suruchi Balad, she has no sense of talking to patients, she talks angrily, rude, unprofessional. Not sure how medanta is handling Suruchi Balad. She seems to be a frustrated with herself. My parents even worried to revisit suruchi due to her rudeness.

. Imagine a doctor coming on the consultation for which you pay 1800 to only tell you that he is unable to diagnose the condition online *** *** ******* **** ***** ******* **** ****** ** ****** ** ********** *** ********** Such was my horrendous experience with Dr. Rajiva Gupta of Medanta (Rheumatologist). He was so impatient and not ready to listen to any questions. *** ******* * *** *** **** ** *** ***** ** * ****** ** ******* **** ****** ************* I had uploaded my files and test results but he did not even bother to read them. ** ** ***** * ** * ****** ** ******* ** *** **** ************ ** **** ** ****** **** ***** ********** ***** ******** ********** Never again!
