Dr. Amit Gupta
( MD MRCP FRCP( Dublin) & Dip Diabetology (Chennai) Specialist Cert . In Endocrinology ( UK) General Medicine & Endocrine Specialist
Dr. Amit Gupta is a seasoned general medicine and endocrine specialist with over two decades of experience in central Kolkata. He is affiliated with Belle Vue Hospital, Gleneagles Diabetes Hospital, and operates his own private clinic, Bioarc Clinic, in Bhowanipore. He completed his graduation and post-graduation in general medicine from Kolkata, followed by MRCP from Ireland. He earned his endocrine specialist certification in the United Kingdom and gained expertise at esteemed institutions such as Heath Hospital Cardiff (geriatric medicine), Johns Hopkins Hospital (critical care and chest medicine), and CMC Vellore (diabetes). Recently, he completed his fellowship from the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, the highest qualification in general medicine.
Dr. Amit Gupta’s primary motivation lies in curing patients and continuously advancing his knowledge of medicine. His passion for general medicine stems from its holistic approach, addressing the interconnected nature of organs and systems in the body. Recognizing diabetes as a growing global epidemic, he emphasizes the importance of mastering its management for effective medical practice. He specializes in comprehensive geriatric care, immunity development, and immunization. He also conducts detox programs and has recently introduced red light therapy, or bio-photo modulation, an innovative science he incorporates into his patient care for enhanced treatment outcomes.
Holistic Approach to Healthcare
Dr. Amit Gupta leads a small but highly efficient multidisciplinary team dedicated to holistic patient care. His clinic comprises a nurse who conducts initial history taking and clinical examinations, a dietitian who guides patients on gradual dietary changes, a paramedic who manages health assessments and minor procedures, and an ergonomic counselor addressing occupational health issues, posture, time management, and sleep hygiene. This integrated approach ensures comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s needs.
Additionally, he collaborates with multidisciplinary colleagues to provide a seamless and coordinated treatment experience, significantly improving patient outcomes by addressing both medical and lifestyle aspects of health management. He also facilitates overseas online consultations with trusted colleagues, providing patients with diverse expertise and boosting their confidence in the treatment process.
“One of the biggest challenges I face is the lack of holistic treatment, with patients often unaware that small lifestyle changes can make a significant impact on their health. At my clinic, we focus on expanding treatment horizons by emphasizing disease prevention. We educate patients on boosting immunity through diet, exercise, and the power of immunization to prevent infections and diseases. By empowering patients with knowledge, I help them adopt sustainable habits to improve their health and manage diseases effectively”, added Dr. Amit Gupta.
Dr. Amit Gupta balances the technical and human aspects of patient care by addressing common challenges such as medication non-compliance. Recognizing the reluctance of patients to take long-term medications or manage polypharmacy, he emphasizes the longterm benefits of adherence, helping patients understand the role of consistent treatment in preventing further complications and reducing future medication burdens. By adopting a proactive approach through early detection and comprehensive treatment plans, he fosters trust and compliance, ensuring better patient outcomes.
“A memorable success story involves a patient with recurrent bloody vomiting, initially misdiagnosed despite extensive investigations by top specialists. Upon clinical examination, I discovered a tongue bite indicating convulsions as the underlying cause. Treating the patient with anti-convulsants resolved the episodes entirely. This case highlights the importance of integrating multiple specialties and uncovering overlooked details to deliver accurate, life-changing diagnoses”, emphasizes Dr. Amit Gupta.
To stay updated across his specializations, Dr. Amit Gupta employs a systematic approach. He attends national and international conferences quarterly, focusing on specific disciplines such as gastroenterology, neurology or nephrology, to refresh and expand his expertise. Additionally, he conducts training programs for general practitioners and junior doctors, using these opportunities to reinforce his own knowledge while fostering a culture of collaborative learning.
Dr. Amit Gupta envisions a transformative future for general medicine and diabetes management, leveraging innovative technologies and holistic care. In his practice, he employs Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems(CGMS) to analyze real-time blood sugar fluctuations and provide tailored dietary recommendations, accounting for individual metabolic responses. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is another tool he uses to differentiate genuine hyper tension from anxiety-induced spikes, avoiding unnecessary treatments. Additionally, he has introduced red light therapy, a cutting-edge mitochondrial regeneration technique, to address post COVID fatigue and other chronic conditions, pioneering its use in India.
Looking ahead, Dr. Amit Gupta aims to expand patient centric, multidisciplinary care. He plans to integrate advanced diagnostics and personalized treatments, moving beyond symptom-based approaches. His focus remains on uncovering hidden health challenges, educating patients, and addressing them comprehensively to empower individuals and combat lifestyle diseases effectively.
“I would advise emerging professionals to balance theoretical knowledge with practical application. While online education and simulators are valuable, real-time patient exposure is essential for the effective integration of knowledge. After COVID, many trainees are increasingly relying on virtual learning, but without hands-on experience, it becomes challenging to apply that knowledge effectively in practice. Spending time with real patients is essential”, concludes Dr. Amit Gupta.
