Philosophy of Care

Peers and patients regard Dr. Gupta as a diligent, compassionate physician. “As a urologic oncologist, my job is to help guide patients through the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of their urologic cancers. 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.”

“Each patient’s cancer is unique, and as a result, each patient’s treatment plan needs to be individually tailored, taking into account their quality of life and personal preferences. My role is to serve as partner during what can be one of the most difficult times in a patient’s life; by working together, we can determine the best treatment options to pursue for each patient. I understand that a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and I am dedicated to ensuring that my patients receive not only top-notch medical care but also the support, understanding, and empowerment they need throughout their treatment.”

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

“Your health and confidence in your treatment journey remain at the forefront of my practice, and I am eager to guide you through a personalized and comprehensive approach to urologic cancer care.”
