About Me

About Me

Dr. Joshi earned her MD from the King George’s Medical College in Lucknow, India, where she also completed a pediatric residency. She completed an internal medicine residency and endocrinology fellowship at the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. She has extensive experience in endocrinology, diagnosing and treating hormonal and hormone-related disorders like diabetes and thyroid disease.

As a leader in her field, Dr. Joshi has launched innovative endocrinology training and treatment programs. Her creative thinking was instrumental during the Covid-19 pandemic. The virtual diabetes boot camp she started helped newly diagnosed diabetes patients receive valuable education to help them adapt to their new lifestyles. Dr. Joshi also implemented new blood glucose monitoring technology in patient rooms that allowed nurses to monitor patients without having to enter their rooms.

Dr. Joshi has two children, one a psychologist and the other a radiologist. When she isn't providing telehealth care, she enjoys cooking, scrapbooking, and hiking and has hiked many trails around the State College area.

    Although a virtual appointment Dr. Joshi was very good at explaining my condition and I feel she gave me a very good exam.

    Very nice thorough but all first time visits should be in person. I waited 7 months for telehealth.

    I would rather recommend and voice my peole to Mount Nittany than the places around me. Mount Nittany has more concern and care that I've seen as for myself so far.

    Can't say enough! Whenever I call in to the nurse's station to leave an update or message for Dr. Joshi, they always return call to touch base whether I request a call or not!

“I love patient care, and I treat each person like I would someone from my own family. To see a positive change in a patient’s life is inspiring, especially in diabetes, but also those with thyroid, osteoporosis and other endocrine issues.”
