Alexander (Alex) Gupta, MD, is a board-certified surgeon and Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Abdominal Transplant Surgery at the University of Washington. He cares for adult patients at UW Medical Center and pediatric patients at Seattle Children's Hospital, giving him the uncommon opportunity to treat both adults and children.

Dr. Gupta chose transplant surgery because of the long-term relationships it allows. He cares for patients from their first evaluation, through surgery and recovery in the hospital, and often for years afterward as they and their new organ are monitored. Many of his patients come to transplant during one of the hardest periods of their lives, and he values being part of their care as they regain their health and independence.

Dr. Gupta performs liver, kidney, and pancreas transplants. He also cares for living organ donors, people who give a kidney or part of their liver to a family member, friend, or someone they have never met. His clinical interests include minimally invasive approaches and surgery for liver tumors. He is also an Assistant Professor of Surgery, Division of Transplant Surgery, Department of Surgery at the University of Washington.
