What our members are saying

Dr. Gupta is not just an ordinary internist MD; he is an extraordinary physician! Dr. Gupta’s background, expertise, and experience is ideal. I met Dr. Gupta 3/4 Years ago in his office. I had been dissatisfied, with my annual physical results each consecutive year. I believe that something more than a Medicare physical is necessary, especially as we get some years behind us; it’s a good…

My doctor, Brij Gupta, listens. He actually takes the time to listen to my complaints. He then discusses the possibilities and then the probabilities with me and suggests a couple of ways to deal with the situation. So it comes down to this: I get his ear and his medical knowledge and an agenda of how to deal with it. And, Dr. Gupta is generous with his time and abilities.

Nowadays the competition for care is fierce.

Consider myself and wife lucky to take care of our health needs.

Dr Brij Gupta is not only very professional, he's kind, caring, understanding and really listens. It's so very rare to find such an amazing DOCTOR. I'm so grateful for all he's done for me. I would recommend him to everyone in San Diego!

Dr Gupta is OUTSTANDING! He has been our family doctor for over 8 years. Also, his staff is above the rest. Nurse Chrissy and receptionist Sally go above and beyond their normal duties with cheerful smiles, always helpful and caring. We are blessed to be their patients!

POOR COMMUNICATION SKILLS. OPERATORYS ATE OLD FASHIONED. INCLUDING OLD EQUIPMENT. NEVER HAS DR. GUPTA PERFORMED AN IN OFFICE VITAL SIGN ASSESSMENT. RARELY LISTENED TO MY CONCERNS BEFORE CUTTING ME OFF MID CONVERSATION. EVERY VISIT HE BROKE HIPPA LAWS. JE'D GO OVER MY PRIVATE LAB RESULTS OR STATUS OUT LOUDLY WHERE OTHER PATIENTS AND STAFF NEAR BY COULD HEAR ALL. NEVER PROVIDED PATIENT PRIVACY, BY LEAVING OPERATORYS ROOM DOOR WIDE OPEN DURING VISIT. MEDICAL ONSETS I BEGAN TO DEVELOPE, HE IGNORED. EVEN AFTER I TELL HIM OF MY SYMPTOMS. CURRENTLY, I ARE AND HAVE BEEN TREATED FOR SOME OF THE SAME AILMENTS THAT WERE PRESENT WHILE UNDER HIS CARE..." WHAT CARE??" I DISCONTINUED MY PATIENT CARE UNDER THIS DOCTOR DOME YEARS BACK. AND I WOUI REFER ANYONE, NO ONE TO THIS HEARTLESS FOCTOR.

I am absolutely delighted to share my experience, and time spent with Dr. Brij Gupta.

I don't think (as sad as it is), I absolutely know that I have never had a proper Wellness Annual Exam) before seeing Dr. Gupta!!! He is not only professional, but I am so impressed at the way Dr. Gupta has the ability, to make me feels as though I am his only patient on earth! That means everyone he see most likely feels the same about our very confident, and knowledgeable physician.

Dr. Gupta spends as much time as needed with me. I rarely see another patient (even if it's a necessary same day appointment!) I rarely, if ever see other patients in passing. This has been pivotal since the breakout of COViD 19. Doctor and patients are always in the proper PPE; Very nice, and I feel safe.

My doctor takes my health concerns very seriously, and goes beyond, a pill. He gives me what I need: an honest evaluation of existing health issues, a voice, and his suggestions and diagnoses are from experience. They are usually right on target, and sensible. He is multi-talented in medicine.

Dr. Gupta is a no nonsensical physician; I would have it no other way. MDVIP struck a highly valuable, and trained doctor with Dr. Gupta; that's the truth.Imagine a doctor whom answers his own cell calls now, I've have spoken with a decent on call doctor; maybe 2 however, I would rather have with my on doctor pickup (even if he's in Timbuktu), and can do much for me at the time its huge comfort. This is one of the benefits amazing benefits that I have by choosing this sincere doctor as my MDVIP. He's my childhood dream doctor, and every doctor after him have BIG shoes wear! Not to mention his staff: Crissy and Sally! The best MA's in the business!!! We're are family.

Thanks you so much Dr. Gupta, for keeping MDVIP standards at a level highly sought after!

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
