Dr. Aneri Gupta is board certified in Family Medicine with a Pharmacy and Ayurvedic background from Canada. As a yoga and classical dance teacher, she believes in providing a mind, body, and spirit approach for her patients.
Dr. Gupta also is trained professionally in classical Indian dance and started teaching since she was 15 years old. She loves teaching so much that she also did early childhood education and enjoyed storytelling with the children. After completing her Bachelor of Science at University of Winnipeg on a full scholarship, she began pharmacy at University of Manitoba.
In pharmacy, she specialized in neurological and autoimmune processes such as Multiple Sclerosis. She conducted clinical research and submitted her preliminary thesis in the Doctor of Philosophy/Pharmacy program. She published various research including Staphylococcus aureus harboring Enterotoxin A as a possible risk factor for multiple sclerosis exacerbations. Dr. Gupta is inquisitive and still continues to seek and learn about various prevention and treatment options.
Dr. Gupta began her journey in healing by learning yoga as a child. Her mom, who is her first teacher, continues to teach yoga in her 70s in Winnipeg, Canada. Dr. Gupta volunteers in various medical, educational and humanitarian organizations such as Amnesty International and received the YMCA National Humanitarian Youth Peace Award in 2001. As per Robert Frost&’s poem, she strongly feels she “took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”.
After various life experiences, Dr. Gupta decided to pursue medicine. She graduated from Ross University School of Medicine in 2011 after training in diverse clerkships in hospitals of Miami and New York. She then completed her Family Medicine Residency at University of Oklahoma and became board certified in Family Medicine in 2016. Since then, she became a travel doctor and practiced in various states. As a travel doctor, she worked with diverse patient populations and gained further experience and insight by connecting with people of all different backgrounds, cultures, and languages. In February 2021, she moved from Nevada to California. She was working for 2 years in an underserved population in San Leandro, where she provided healthcare in a mind, body, and spirit approach.
Growing up, Dr. Gupta spent quality time in India, learning languages, yoga, dance, and ayurveda. She is grateful for her many teachers and opportunities to perform around the world. She even performed at the Pan American Games opening ceremony. In search of better weather and more diversity in nature, culture, and creativity, she moved to California. She believes in providing a mind, body, and spirit approach in health and wellness for her patients. She also believes an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. She aims to educate and empower her patients to enjoy quality life.
Dr. Gupta continues to volunteer in mental health, and she also teaches and performs dance around the Bay Area. She recently began a new journey in stand up comedy. She believes laughter is truly the best medicine as it helps reduce cortisol and inflammation levels in your body, and naturally promotes healing. Our bodies have the ability to self heal, if we all pay attention to it and nurture it. She hopes to provide her patients with the required tools and skills needed for this. We are all limitless, and she enjoys exploring new areas of her own mind, body and spirit. She welcomes you to her new medical practice with much gratitude and joy. She is excited to join Apollo Health Care Center in Mountain View.
