FRANZCO · FRCOphth · FRCS · MMed (Singapore) · MS (Ophthalmology) Consultant Ophthalmologist & Honorary Senior Lecturer, University of Auckland
Dr Gupta’s passion for ophthalmology emerged early in his medical career, giving him a clear sense of purpose that has shaped every step of his professional journey. He completed his foundational ophthalmology training at JIPMER, India, one of the subcontinent’s most prestigious medical institutions, before relocating to Singapore to pursue specialist training in ophthalmology.
In 2018, the beauty, spirit and work-life balance of our coveted Aotearoa drew Dr Gupta and his family to New Zealand, a choice they continue to feel deeply grateful for. He feels privileged to be a part of the beautiful community and also be able to provide world-class ophthalmological care to Auckland and the wider region!
