Pradeep K. Gupta's Online Review Report Card

What a horribly ran business and medical practice. This place would be out of business if there wasn't such a high demand and low supply for Gastroenterology in the DC area (and Arlington). They don't answer the phone and take forever to respond. They are still stuck in 2020 with their "telehealth due to COVID" and won't even see patients in person (seriously, its October 2022 and all other businesses ...

The worse service EVER. They prescribed the wrong pre-colonoscopy procedure, put me under anesthesia and said I was still blocked OMG. Just Try calling their office. No one home. Pls get a competent staff. I'm never going back.

During Covid you must be careful. However I’m over 50 male and was told by my primary care physician that a colonoscopy should not be delayed. They recommended Dr. Gupta’s office. Unfortunately everyone in that office seems to think that they are doing you a favor by allowing you to be a patient. When I showed up for my colonoscopy they did not test me for Covid while I waited in the waiting room for over an hour. They did not test me for Covid prior to taking all my vitals. They did not test me until I was stripped down in a gown and ready to go to the ER. But Idiocracy of using a rapid test for a procedure is mind boggling. I should’ve been tested with the molecular test a few days prior. But that would be inconvenient for them. When my test came back positive (which was wrong because I did get a PCR test two days later and the results were negative. And I paid for that test because Gupta‘s office would not administer a second test they were adamant about it was not their problem). I find their behavior to be unprofessional, reckless, and certainly unethical. They continually send me a bill for their canceled procedure. Do not go to this office

Dr. Gupta has taken excellent care of me for approximately 30 years. He is a superb and caring doctor. Because of his high degree of professionalism and skill, I trust him with my life. He is also a very pleasant person to know and I always look forward to my contacts with him. I recommend him as an outstanding doctor.

In years of colonoscopies here I found that Dr Gupta and the nurses and the admin staff exude efficiency, expertise, low-key cheerfulness (valuable at 0600!), and communicability.

I was a patient of Dr. Gupta's for years. He is absolutely impossible to get a hold of - it takes weeks of constant calling to get through to his office and get simple questions answered. He is also incredibly unhelpful. When he put me on a very expensive medication and I mentioned my concerns about the cost, he said there was nothing he could do. One of his staff told me about the discount membership program, not him. As other reviews have mentioned, he is very arrogant. When I told him that one of the medications I was on was causing me to rapidly gain weight and I was concerned about this, he laughed it off and told me to cut out carbs. Besides the fact that cutting out carbs is not healthy, how does that help the problem!? Lastly, he is negligent towards his patients. I was simultaneously on two prescriptions from him for years. He suddenly denied my request for one of the medications, offering no explanation. It took me two months of calling to get in contact with his office and find out that he said I did not need to be on both medications, despite the fact that he had been refilling the prescriptions for years. I was so dismayed and frustrated - hundreds of dollars spent on a medication I didn't need to be on, only to have the prescription cancelled with no explanation.

After receiving a referral from my doctor to schedule an appointment with Pradeep Gupta, I called his office and got the run around. Mostly over concerns of verifying insurance before they would schedule anything. THEN, Pradeed Gupta himself called me. After patronizing me about a national crisis and how he was "doing me a favor", I informed him that I got the run around from his office and he did not need to patronize me. He was quick to tell me he has "been doing this for 26 years and has never been spoken to that way". My guess is I'm not the first or the last to complain about the service from his office. I have never encountered such arrogance from a "medical Professional". I use that term lightly because he was anything BUT professional. I would never recommend using his practice.

After 15 years of colonoscopies I fired Dr. P. Gupta. Yes, I fired him. I need medical attention for other gut issues, and not exclusive treatment for slow growing polyps that are removed at 3 to 5 year intervals. Twice in the last couple of years (’19 –’20) I tried getting an appointment with Dr. Gupta as my primary Gastroenterologist respective to these major gut issues. Both times he through his staff either referred me to my family physician or go to the emergency room. Apparently, Dr. Gupta as a Gastroenterologist in private practice, and Chief of the Gastrointestinal Unit at Virginia Hospital Center, he is only interested in providing exclusive services for my butt, and not my gut. He knows where the money flows. The wealth comes from my butt and not my gut.
