Dr. Gupta performed Asia's first Deep Brain Stimulation for Epilepsy — a historic neurological milestone achieved in Gurgaon — in a patient with drug-resistant epilepsy unresponsive to multiple medications, achieving significant seizure reduction and transforming the patient's quality of life. This achievement placed Gurgaon and India on the global map of epilepsy neuroscience.

A patient presenting with acute ischaemic stroke underwent mechanical thrombolysis using the Solitaire system under Dr. Gupta's care — the first use of this technique in the region — achieving successful vessel recanalisation and near-complete neurological recovery, establishing the template for acute stroke intervention in Gurgaon's hospitals.

• AIIMS Gold Medalist Expertise: Patients specifically cite Dr. Gupta's AIIMS Gold Medal DM qualification as a primary reason for choosing his practice — recognising it as India's highest academic standard in neurology.
• Pioneer of Multiple Firsts: Patients seeking treatment for stroke, DBS, or MS specifically travel to Dr. Gupta for his record of pioneering interventions — the first DBS for epilepsy in Asia being the most celebrated.
• Trusted Long-Term Partner: Multiple patients describe decades-long relationships with Dr. Gupta — including being treated since initial diagnosis in 2009 — reflecting exceptional continuity of neurological care.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Gupta's clinical career reflects a relentless commitment to advancing neurological care in India — establishing firsts that have transformed the management of stroke, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy across the country. As Chairman of MAIINS at Marengo Asia Hospitals, he continues to see the highest patient volumes in the region — over 100 OPD and 50 IPD patients daily — while simultaneously advancing neurological research and education. His work on India's first Topiramate migraine trial and the largest MS stem cell series reflects a commitment to building an evidence base for neurological practice in India.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Gupta employs the most advanced neurological interventional technologies available in India — mechanical thrombolysis (Solitaire) for acute stroke, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease and epilepsy, intravenous thrombolysis, Botulinum Toxin for movement disorders and spasticity, stem cell transplantation for MS, and comprehensive stroke rehabilitation protocols. His full-service neuroscience centre at Marengo Asia Hospitals provides the institutional infrastructure to support these advanced interventions at scale.
