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

Dr Gupta seems really nice, was a little scared because she seems so young, but someone I know had a lot of complications from a surgery performed by a different doctor and Dr. Gupta was the one who did all her repairs. And help nuture her back to life.Consultation was what I expected from all my internet research. but I was still glad to hear her version of what to expect.

My first impression of Dr. Gupta was that she is very knowledgeable. Her office staff is very professional, but needs to work on being more personable. Dr. Gupta expects you to follow the plan that is given to you before and after surgery.

During the group consultation, Dr. Gupta discussed everything associated with the surgery, including the risks.

I would recommend Dr. Gupta to anyone looking into have WLS.

Dr. Jones was very nice and very informative.Actually I went to the consult not wanting to have the more popular RNY. I wanted to have the Lap band. After my husband and I talked to her, we were convinced that the RNY was going to be better surgery for me. I am glad she does it laproscopic. I will have hardly any scaring because her incisions are so small!!!! I researched lots of Dr's, and I feel Dr. Jones is the best in Indy!! I am very excited at this new chance of life!!

Well I have changed surgeons. I am having Dr.Gupta now. She is in the same office as Dr. Jones. From what i have heard she is good also. I will meet her before my surgery.

8/26/04 - Christine Gupta was very warm & friendly. She explained all of the pros and cons of surgery. No one else had a consult that evening, so I had her all to myself. I cherished every minute that I had with her with the one on one.
The office staff was very nice. They took exta time with me because I have an exclusion in my insurance policy. They gave me plenty of options so I did not give up hope.
Dr. Gupta emphasis aftercare as a very important part of the program. She said she is giving me a tool to loose weight & I must use it wisely; otherwise it will not work for me.

Dr. Gupta is great. Calm, friendly, compassionate. My impression has not changed throughout the process. The office staff is kind of hit and miss with the helpfulness and aren't always good at returning calls. In their defense they are very busy and I am sure keeping up with all the requests is difficult.

This was the best thing that ever happened to me!

I have been very happy with my time spent with Dr. Gupta so far. I have only attended her pre-op class and a one-on-one with her, but I am very impressed to this point. I have also had contact with Heather in the scheduling department and she has been a joy to work with. Her support has only added to my excitement!

Dr Gupta is very friendly and helpful and a wonderful surgeon.
The staff was all great.

I was very impressed with Dr. Gupta from the beginning. I could tell she was very experienced and knowledgeable. I felt very confident with her as my surgeon. I also knew that she has two very good associates to cover in case of her absence. The aftercare was carefully explained to me and I was told I was expected to take part in it if I wanted to be successful. The office staff was friendly and helpful. They were very bust so often I had to leave a message and wait for a return phone call. I was able to e-mail at least one staff who was very receptive to e-mail and that was great. I would recommend Dr. Gupta to anyone looking into WLS.

My first impression of Dr. Gupta was that she is a very intelligent woman. She thoroughly explained what would go on during surgery, what to expect after surgery, the risks, and possible complications. She spoke straight to the point, and didn't sugar-coat anything. She has a friendly staff, and the most comfortable waiting room I've ever seen. If you choose her as your surgeon, you won't be disappointed. She has been great.

My first impression: very professional. Some may view that as a negative, but it definitely reassured me. The whole St. Vincents program demands you stick to a tight schedule of nutrition and supplements for a year following the surgery, as well as regular check ins and follow ups.

Overall, the experience was very positive. I had some relatively rare complications that ended up putting me in the hospital for nearly two weeks, but the surgery itself went without a problem. While in the hopsital, and in fairly tremendous pain, the staff on the bariatric floor went above and beyond to help me, even to the point of special ordering a bed with an air mattress to assist in my pain control.

I'm extremely pleased with the treatment I received and highly recommend both Dr. Gupta and the St. Vincent Carmel hospital eagerly.
