Facial Reconstructive Surgery Post MOHS Surgery
I have had an amazing experience working with Dr. Gupta and his team. It has been a difficult time to say the least but I feel extremely positive about the direction that we are headed. We knew that there was a possibility that we would have to do further surgeries but I feel confident that Dr. Gupta will be able to handle any revisions that need to be made. This was an experience that I couldn’t avoid but I have been more than pleased with.

Dr. Gupta Is Truly an Artist- Now a 36D or Very Full 36C
Now, as I approach my one-year anniversary with my new breasts, I couldn't be happier. Dr. Gupta was thrilled with the results, and I was beyond impressed—he exceeded my expectations. I also had a couple of complimentary laser treatments to refine the area around the areolas and along the anchor incision, though my scars were already barely visible. This wasn’t just a breast reduction—it was a personalized work of art. Dr. Gupta truly is an artist, and I’m so grateful I chose

Five Stars Aren’t Even Close to Enough….
15 months ago, at the age of 41, I never thought I’d be visiting a plastic surgeon to discuss breast reconstruction after a bilateral mastectomy for a sudden and unexpected breast cancer diagnosis. But here I am. And I cannot imagine a single step I’ve taken in this process without the care and support I received from Dr Gupta and his team at Verve. They have treated me like a friend from my very first visit, demonstrating more compassion and kindness than I ever would have thought

My hair has gotten significantly thicker
I’ve had 3 treatments of the PRP for hair loss and the overall experience has been excellent. Alison & co were always awesome. The results have been better than I expected. This is not a miracle cure for hair loss, but my hair has gotten significantly thicker and my thinning areas have begun filled in over the period of 3ish months. I will continue to keep getting the treatments.

Self Esteem Enhancer!
I’m so happy with my lower facelift. No more turkey neck and the fat grafting rejuvenated my skin. I look at least 20 years younger! During the pandemic shutdown, I met a woman and we only saw each other while wearing a mask. The first time she saw me maskless, she said, “wow, I thought you were older than me! But now I assume we’re about the same age!” That woman had just turned 40 and I’m 59!!! I can’t recommend Dr. Gupta highly enough. He is warm, kindhearted, and

Loving the Results
Dr. Gupta, Alison, and the entire staff at Verve were amazing. I had neck liposuction and buccal fat removal done there in the clinic and was so nervous beforehand. They made me feel super comfortable, explained everything that was happening, made me laugh, and made my time a lot easier. I am still not totally done healing but I'm already seeing great results and I'm so excited to see what it looks like in the end. My consults never felt rushed and I didn't feel like I was pressured

The staff at Verve is very friendly and professional
I have received Botox a handful of times at Verve and am always completely happy with the results. The staff is very conservative with their treatments and always errs on the natural side. They are very friendly and make my treatments easy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
