Dr. Gupta is a board-certified family physician who completed her undergraduate education at Duke University, medical degree at University of Florida and residency at Overlook Hospital/Columbia University. She has worked in multiple settings in the past 25 years, including as an assistant professor at the University of Southern California, as a partner physician at Southern Permanent California Medical Group, and as a staff physician at Doctors Immediate Care, Illinois. These varied experiences led her to become disillusioned with the US healthcare system and unhappy with the way that physicians are forced to practice. In 2018, she learned about the direct primary care (DPC) model from a colleague and decided to open the first DPC practice in her county. After working in an urgent care setting for 5 years, she did not have a patient or referral base in her town, and thus had to build her DPC practice from the ground up. The process of growing her practice rekindled her passion for family medicine and allowed her to learn new skills related to being a small business and independent practice owner. She is passionate about spreading awareness about the DPC model, both to her community and to medical students and residents.Â
