Dr. Gujja graduated from India’s Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College in Gulbarga, Karnataka, in 2003. He later completed an internal medicine internship at Long Island College Hospital in Long Island, New York, as well as fellowships in cardiology and interventional cardiology at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York. In addition to this comprehensive training, Dr. Gujja completed a third fellowship in endovascular intervention/peripheral at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.

Highly skilled and educated, Dr. Gujja strives to provide his patients with the best possible care as a longtime cardiovascular disease specialist. Dr. Gujja has undergone extensive training to treat cardiovascular-related conditions, such as art failure, heart attack, congenital heart problems, and coronary artery diseases.

Dr. Gujja is also a renowned endovascular intervention specialist, offering low-risk alternatives to open surgery. He has been treating patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) for many years and continues to improve their quality of life through minimally invasive procedures, lifestyle changes, and medications. These new treatments can help patients take control of their PAD symptoms, such as swollen legs and leg pain, allowing them to return to their regular activities.

At Long Island Heart & Vascular, Dr. Gujja is able to offer his patients the most advanced cardiovascular and endovascular intervention testing and treatments under one roof, making each visit as comfortable and convenient as possible.
