Dr. Alok Kumar Gupta Named Barton Associates' 2023 Locum Hero

Primary care locum tenens provider lauded for commitment to patients in 5th annual campaign

PEABODY, Mass. — Barton Associates, a leading healthcare staffing company, announced that Dr. Alok Kumar Gupta has won its fifth annual Locum Heroes campaign.

Gupta, a primary care physician living in Danville, California, demonstrated a clear passion for providing quality healthcare services to patients as a locum tenens provider. He has also volunteered in his home country of India, where he and other professionals provide critical medical care to underserved tribal populations.

“It’s amazing—I did not think what I did was anything that special,” Gupta said about being named Barton’s 2023 Locum Hero. “Everyone likes to be recognized, so that is really nice. But it’s all in a day’s work. It’s that relationship, that touch, that care, and that part of yourself that you give to a patient is what being a physician is all about.”
