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

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.
