Meet Dr. Pragya Gupta – Your Caring Partner in Women's Health

Dr Pragya Gupta

When you walk into our clinic, you're not just meeting a doctor, you're meeting someone who genuinely cares about your well-being and understands exactly what you're going through. Dr. Pragya Gupta has spent over a decade not just treating conditions, but truly listening to women's concerns and helping them feel comfortable during what can be an anxious time.

"I remember how nervous I felt during my first gynecological procedure," Dr. Pragya often shares with her patients. "That's why I make sure every woman who comes to me feels heard, understood, and completely at ease." Her warm, approachable nature combined with her expertise in hysteroscopy makes her the perfect companion for your health journey.

With her MBBS from MLN Medical College, Prayagraj, MD in Obstetrics & Gynaecology from King George Medical University, Lucknow, and specialized Fellowship in Cosmetic Gynecology (FCG), Dr. Pragya brings both professional excellence and personal warmth to every interaction.

What sets Dr. Pragya apart is her belief that every procedure should be as comfortable as possible. She's performed thousands of hysteroscopic procedures – from helping women understand mysterious bleeding to removing troublesome polyps and fibroids, always with the same gentle, caring approach that makes patients feel like they're talking to a trusted friend.

As a patron member of the PCOS Society of India and National Faculty at IFAM for Cosmetic Gynecology, she stays connected with the latest advances while never losing sight of what matters most, making sure you feel comfortable, informed, and cared for throughout your entire experience.
