Experience That Shows Up in the Room
Over 40,000 endoscopic procedures is the kind of volume that changes how a case is handled. It means the routine work is fast, and the unusual findings have been seen before rather than met for the first time. The therapeutic endoscopy training from Mount Sinai matters for the same reason, because it covers the interventions that go beyond looking, such as stopping a bleed or dilating a stricture.
The Practice and the Surgery Center
Kentuckiana Gastroenterology and Paramount Surgery Center combines a gastroenterology practice with its own outpatient surgery center at one address. Consultation and procedure happen in the same building, using high definition Olympus video endoscopy equipment and current electronic medical records. Working this way keeps the day short for the patient and the facility charge below what a hospital outpatient department would bill.
Who We Care For
Patients come from across Jefferson County, from St. Matthews, Prospect, Middletown and Jeffersontown, and from New Albany, Jeffersonville, Clarksville and the wider Southern Indiana area. Because Dr. Gupta holds licenses in both states and the practice accepts Medicare along with Kentucky and Indiana Medicaid, patients on either side of the river can be seen here. The most common reasons for a visit are
colorectal cancer screening, reflux and swallowing problems investigated by
upper endoscopy, and
hemorrhoid banding.

Writing and Continuing Education
Gastroenterology guidance changes, and keeping up with it is part of the job. Dr. Gupta has published in peer reviewed scientific journals and attends scientific meetings and speaking engagements regularly. The three societies he belongs to each issue guidance that shifts practice, on screening intervals, on how findings are managed and on technique, and membership is how that reaches the examination room. Patients who want to read further will find plain explanations of common digestive conditions written for people, not for clinicians.(502)
