Dr. Rishi R Gupta, MD

I had an appointment for my sons with Dr. Gupta after our previous gastroenterologist retired and Dr. Gupta took over his patients. I was SO disappointed. Upon entering the room with two students (who he didn't even introduce) he proceeded to ask very few questions before telling me we need to change my son's feeding protocol and medications. When I questioned the need to change everything at once he proceeded to tell me his credentials "I've studied at X,Y,Z" I assured him that I wasn't questioning his credentials, but changing everything at once would make it difficult to measure the impact of individual changes on my nonverbal son. His bedside manner was terrible. If you're looking for a physician that you can ask questions to, he's not your person. He is only interested in his own opinion and clearly believes that he has figured it all out. I'm so disappointed. We had high hopes, but ended up feeling unheard and frankly spoken down to in a condesending tone. It's my job as… a parent to advocate and question, so that when I leave the appointment I understand why we're doing something and what I need to do to help the plan be successful. Dr. Gupta made it clear that he doesn't need to explain anything to anyone. I should just be a blind follower.

I visited Dr. Gupta after our gastroenterologist retired and he took over the patients. I was SO disappointed. He asked very few questions before telling me that we needed to change my son's medications and feeding protocol. When I questioned changing so many things at once, he proceeded to read off his credentials. I assured him that I wasn't questioning his credentials, but why we would change anything at once he got defensive as though I have absolutely no right to question a doctor. He has a poor bedside manner and ultimately thinks that he has all the answers. If you are used to having a discussion with your physician about recommendations stay away. He clearly doesn't want anyone's opinion/insight but his own.

Best Doctor anyone could ever ask for!
