Christine Gupta Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

I chose Dr Gupta because she took really good care of a friend of mine. The first time I met her she was very nice and took time with me. I wasn't just a number to her. She did a great job with my surgery and my after care. My husband had complications and she was right on top of his care. I can't say enough good things about her. I highly recomend her to anyone thinking about bariatric surgery.

Dr. Gupta is WONDERFUL!!! She is so caring and understanding. She took the time to answer all of my questions at my consult, and then patiently answered my husband's questions right before I went into surgery.rnrnThe office staff at Carmel Surgical Specialists are is equally WONDERFUL! I've not had a bad encounter with anyone, and I've had considerable contact with them while I was trying to get my wls pre-approved.rnrnThe after care program through the St. Vincent Carmel Bariatric Services office is top-notch. Their holistic approach to taking care of yourself post-op is second to none. The post-op program will take you through one year post-op, and you can always call the dietitian any time you have questions.rnrnThe dedicated bariatric floor at St. V Carmel is also second to none! The staff there are solely dedicated to taking care of post-op bariatric patients. I was treated with kindness, compassion, and respect.rnrnI highly recommend Dr. Gupta, Carmel Surgical Specialists, and the St. Vincent Carmel Bariatric Services program to anyone who is considering undergoing wls!!!rnrnUPDATE 3/17/07: While I still think highly of Carmel Surgical Specialists, I do not think highly of Dr. Gupta. She wouldn't treat an ulcer I had, so I had to find my own gastroenterologist to treat them (I've had several over the past two years), so now she's written me off. So IMNSHO, if you're looking for WLS services from Carmel Surgical Specialists, stick with Dr. Jones or Dr. Cacucci.

very skilled at what she does. i had some complications in the beginning, and my situation was handled very well.

Dr. Gupta is a wonderful doctor. She is upfront, does not \"sugar coat\" anything and is very caring. The facility St Vincents Hospital of Carmel is the best hospital in the state in my opinion and the way the bariatric center is set up there is impicable. If I ever need anything from her or the staff there, I KNOW that I can go to them for the rest of my life.

'Dr. Gupta gave a very thorough presentation at the initial consult and was very nice in the one on one.rnShe answered all my questions

My first impression of Dr. Gupta was that she was wonderfull. She was very nice and to the point. I would recommend Dr. Gupta to anyone who is considering WLS. Her office staff is great also.

First impression....Dr. Gupta has great drive and passion for her work.

Her staff was very helpful and friendly.

My post-op care and support has been excellent.

Overall St. Vincent's in Carmel and Dr. Gupta and her staff were awesome. I am so greatfull to them and I truly believe this surgery saved my life!

Dr. Gupta is very knowledgable and passionate about what she does and shoots straight with me as to what the benefits and risks are, pointing out the surgery is only as effective as I make it by following their recommendations. I feel as though I am in very capable hands for my surgical weight loss experience. It is reassuring to know I will be followed as a patient for the rest of my life which helps in both accountability and to maintain structure in my continued life-long battle against weight.
Her office staff is kind, courteous and empathetic. The program is well structured yet flexible for the needs of each individual.

She is very educated in the field of obesity. I am happy with the care I received from her and continue to receive from her and her office staff. I would recommend Dr. Gupta to others for the same surgery.

Very educated and informative. She provided a clear view of what was going to be done and the risks involved.

In the eighteen months since surgery, she has tracked my personal issues with an unfortunate and unrelated complication that was not her fault in the least. She is always concerned over those issues and my overall success.

Before I submitted to surgery, I did a tremendous amount of research. This was my first surgery ever, and I wasn't going to let anyone rearrange my organs. She came through as the best of the best, and I stand by that.
