ABOUT THE GUEST
Dr. Reena Gupta is a laryngologist (voice doctor and surgeon) in Beverly Hills, CA. She was led to this specialty of a love for the voice, which was fostered through singing lessons starting at the age of 11. When she entered medical school, her passion for the voice led her to seek a residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at NYU. She then did an additional year-long fellowship in Laryngology/Care of the Professional Voice. Dr. Gupta opened her own practice, Center for Vocal Health, as the only Laryngologist-led private voice centre in Southern California. Dr. Gupta is published in numerous journals and textbooks and has been invited to speak at universities and conferences locally and internationally. She volunteers locally and globally and runs educational conferences to empower professional voice users to seek the best vocal care.
