Excellent care from Dr Gupta. We couldn’t quite get the video clip to work as expected so he invited me back to see the baby free of charge and try again which resulted in a wonderful video of them moving around.

Had four scans at Elite community ultrasound Canterbury so far and been very impressed. The friendliness and welcoming of the receptionist and the reassurance and professionalism from the doctor was amazing. Wouldn’t go anywhere else! The time he spent making sure we had a good experience was so precious.

I had my 5D & 4D baby scan with Dr Gupta today, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the moment we arrived, Dr Gupta was very welcoming, professional and reassuring, making us feel completely comfortable throughout the scan. We are absolutely delighted with the videos and pictures we received — they are such beautiful memories that we will treasure forever. Thank you, Dr Gupta, for making this such a special experience for us. We would highly recommend!
