About me
As a Board Certified/Board eligible critical care physician, all conditions requiring intensive care in the medical, surgical, or neurosciences ICU are treated.
Bhavik Gupta, DO, is board certified in internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, and critical care medicine. He sees patients in pulmonary clinic for a wide range of respiratory conditions, with particular clinical interest in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He also cares for patients admitted to the intensive care unit.
Dr. Gupta takes a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to care, focusing on the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. As an osteopathic physician, he emphasizes understanding how medical conditions intersect with lifestyle, nutrition, stress, physical activity, and overall well-being. While he prescribes evidence-based medical therapies when appropriate, he works closely with patients in a multidisciplinary fashion, partnering with them to develop individualized treatment plans that extend beyond medications alone. Patients can expect an accessible, collaborative relationship in which concerns are heard and care decisions are made together. When complex problems arise, Dr. Gupta leverages a broad network of specialists to ensure patients receive the highest level of care.
Dr. Gupta is active in academic medicine and regularly presents case reports and clinical work at national conferences. He has contributed to peer-reviewed publications and remains engaged in scholarly work, particularly as it relates to clinical reasoning and patient-centered outcomes.
A dedicated educator, Dr. Gupta is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Georgetown University School of Medicine, where he teaches pulmonary medicine. He also serves as core faculty for the MedStar Georgetown Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship and is committed to training the next generation of physicians.
Beyond clinical medicine, Dr. Gupta has a strong interest in fitness, nutrition, and healthy living, which informs both his personal life and his approach to patient care. He is also enthusiastic about the evolving role of artificial intelligence in healthcare and its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes when applied thoughtfully and ethically. Outside of work, he enjoys cooking and exploring how healthy eating can be both practical and enjoyable.
