Dr. Joshi has over a decade of experience as an accredited trainee in Obstetrics and Gynecology from 2002 to 2011.

She further pursued mental health training from 2012 to 2018, and from 2018, she also specialized in dermatology and skin cancer medicine and surgery. Additionally, she undertook aesthetics training starting in 2015, enhancing her expertise in the field she works in today.

Unlike many other surgical specialties, Obstetrics and Gynecology primarily involves working with awake female patients. The procedural work is typically performed under local anesthesia, making it crucial to effectively manage awake patients by:

- Providing distractions to alleviate anxiety during procedures

- Ensuring gentle and swift handling of delicate tissues to minimize pain and discomfort

- Maintaining accuracy and efficiency due to patients being awake.

These skills are also invaluable in aesthetics and skin cancer work, where patients are often awake and may experience anxiety.

Skin cancer and medical appointments are eligible for a Medicare rebate, which will be processed on your behalf. Aesthetics appointments, however, do not qualify for a Medicare rebate. Payment can be made via credit or debit card, with a 1% surcharge applicable to all transactions.

After most treatments, our follow-up protocol typically includes:
