Dr. Gupta was born and raised in the state of Punjab, in northern India. She completed medical school with honors at Dayanand Medical College, one of the leading medical schools of northern India. She then moved to the United States with her family to pursue further training. In 2016, Dr. Gupta completed her residency in Internal Medicine at the Advent Health, Orlando, Florida. She served as chief resident in her final year. In 2018, she completed her fellowship in Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts. After being a practicing Endocrinologist for almost 5 years in Connecticut, she relocated to Maryland to be closer to her family. She evaluates and treats all Endocrine problems, with a special interest in diabetes and thyroid conditions.
Join us in welcoming Dr. Gupta to our practice!
With a grateful heart, I am announcing that I have decided to retire from the practice of endocrinology on June 30, 2023. Caring for patients has been a challenging and rewarding career and it has been an honor to be trusted as your physician for the last 28 years. It has also been a privilege to work with the other wonderful physicians at Maryland Endocrine. I will sincerely miss my patients and my colleagues.
As I transition into retirement, I am pleased to announce that Dr. Geetika Gupta will be joining our practice in July 2023. I am confident that you will welcome her and that you will be in excellent hands in her care.
Thank you for all the kind words and well wishes that so many of you have expressed.
I have been truly blessed and look forward to what the future will hold.

Patient portal communication with a physician that is initiated by the patient and requires significant physician review, evaluation and response is a valuable professional service that helps patients improve or maintain their health between visits. Such communications can require significant physician time and effort and therefore may generate a portal telemedicine charge. Simple prescription refill requests and other administrative matters will not generate a telemedicine charge. Matters requiring a telephone call from the physician to the patient are also recognized as a physician service by Medicare and some other insurers and may generate a phone telemedicine charge.
Possible levels for portal telemedicine visits per Medicare guidelines are CPT codes 99421 for 5-10 minutes over 7 days, 99422 for 10-20 minutes over 7 days, 99423 for 21 or more minutes over 7 days. Medicare also recognizes telephone visits, CPT codes 99441 (5-10 minutes), 99442 (11-20 minutes), and 99443 (21-30 minutes). Medicare recognizes and covers these telemedicine or telephone visit service codes. Like other covered services, they might generate a patient co-payment responsibility. Coverage policies of other insurance companies vary for telemedicine portal and phone visits.
