Dr. Anurag Gupta, MD

I was referred to Dr Gupta from my long term psychiatrist of about 12 years who cannot Take my insurance any longer. I have been on my current medications for 7 years and have been stable. My first visit was with Dr Gupta, who would only see me if I decreased my Xanax to 3mg, vs the 4mg I have been taking for at least the last 7 years. He seemed thorough... he kindly asked me if I masterbated more at certain times.. I suppose that was ok due to my bipolar diagnosis years ago. My only concern was to try and change my medication of Latuda, which was costing me about $350/mo, even with insurance. He recommended changing to Lamotrigine, stating only that is does not cause weight gain. I was then passed of to his PA, Isabella Osposka. During the course of about 3 months, she steadily increased my dosage of Lamotrigine to 300mg. She also only prescribe 2 mg of Xanax. She asked me if I had nightmares, which I occasionally do. She proceeded to tell me that I do not have anxiety, but… that I have PTSD. I do not have PTSD, no flashbacks or nightmares of any trauma. She stated I will be taken off Xanax and that there will be a med for PTSD. ??? Unfortunately, I have had some serious side effects from the Lamotrigine. I called yesterday and left a message for Isabella at 9:15AM. She did return my call at approx 7pm. I was trying to explain what I was experiencing (which was indicated on my pharmacy sheet), but she seemed very impatient, and just told me to reduce my dosage to 200mg and "we'll see what happens". I woke this morning with even more severe side effects, just one being terrible pain in all my joints and muscles, (I was crying due to the pain, which never happens), along with several other problems. I called her office this morning to seek advice, and was told that I would have to make an appointment, that she would not take my phone call. At this point, I do not know if I should go to the emergency room, or just "see what happens". I am unable to perform my basic household tasks, and I can't drive myself to the ER due to the pain. I just don't know what to do.

I found him on the internet and I am so happy I decided to see him. He doesn't make you feel like you are some type of ill person like most docs in this field do. He listens, always discusses all options, and always asks "how are you doing today".

Dr. Gupta is the best psychiatrist and best doctor period that I have ever had. He is thorough and always listens. He looks out for the best interest of his patients. I am so lucky to have him as my doctor.

A real lack of empathy. At every appointment, he would ask why I was taking a particular drug, a drug he prescribed and has authorized many refills. He was very reluctant to authorize time off from work when I was having severe panic attacks, mood swings, and tics related to the anxiety. He and his staff were not friendly, but cold and dismissive. If you’re looking for a good psychiatrist in Las Vegas keep looking.

When trying to find a good psychiatrist, one is very likely to encounter doctors who probably need to see a psychiatrist of their own. They're characters and quite often you'll leave appointments with them feeling worse than you did when you came in. This isn't the case with Dr. Gupta. To put it simply, he's a normal person who cares. I've been seeing him for almost two years now, and only once have I felt rushed and that was because he was inundated with walk-ins that day. That's another thing, good luck finding another psychiatrist that does walk-ins. That alone is reason enough to see Dr. Gupta.

I have billions of words to describe him compared to my previous doctor. This guy actually talks to me and really LISTENS. Anyways....he understands proper medications and dosages and we are working on it.

I drive across town to see Dr. Gupta. He listens, he asks questions. It can be hard to get in to see him in between appointments and there may be a wait time because he does see walk-ins and takes his time. Dr. Gupta is very knowlegeable.

Great doctor. He makes you feel at home. No rush. It's all about you.

Dr. Gupta is the best doctor that has ever treated me. I've sufferend from depression and anxiety most of my life and Dr. Gupta was very knowledge and put me on the right medication and dosage. I've never felt happier and I finally feel hopeful about life.

I went to another doctor today and he wouldn't take me even though I was self pay and need it the help. His office sent me to this doctor and I pray Monday he would help me I am struggling and scared. What's so wrong about me? I'll let you all know how it went,I'm sure he's a wonderful doctor,thank you
