Dr. Adeeti Gupta, MD, FACOG
Founder, CEO
Dr. Adeeti Gupta has been a practicing OBGYN in the NY area for over 15 years. After seeing the deficiencies in Women's health care, she turned on her entrepreneurial spirit and founded the First Ever Walk IN GYN centers for Women's health in the country.

In her continuing efforts to help people be the best versions of themselves, she recently released an all-in-one toolkit called "Reflection: Reflect your way to a saner stronger you."

He and his family followed an OB/GYN job offer to Rock Springs, Wyoming, a town of 38,000 in the southwest corner of the state.
