Allergy and Urticaria. He does skin testing for food, drug, insect
and environmental allergies, contact testing for sensitivity to

skin testing is not possible.
Dr. Gupta has extensive experience taking care of patients
who have Eczema, Contact Dermatitis and Eosinophilic

severe asthmatics and urticarial patients. Dr. Gupta believes
doctor--patient communication and cooperation is the best road
