Philosophy of Care

"As a urologic oncologist, my role is to serve as a partner during what can be one of the most difficult times in a patient's life. Each patient's cancer is unique; therefore, each patient's treatment plan needs to be individually tailored, accounting for both clinical outcomes and personal quality of life. My commitment to attention to detail extends to each aspect of patient care, aiming not only to treat the disease but also to guide patients through their cancer journey safely and effectively.”

“At MedStar Georgetown, I collaborate closely with medical and radiation oncologists as part of a multidisciplinary team at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center—Washington, D.C.'s only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. This collaborative approach ensures that each patient benefits from the collective expertise of a team and has a tailored treatment plan.”

Personal Interests

Outside of his practice, Dr. Gupta enjoys exploring the vibrant restaurant scene and cultural events of Washington, D.C. He is an active member of his local CrossFit gym and values spending time with his family and close friends.
