Yes. Dr. Joshi holds board certification in Pediatrics through the American Board of Pediatrics. He also carries RhMSUS certification in musculoskeletal ultrasound, which allows him to detect inflammatory arthritis at the bedside with precision. He additionally holds a Master of Science in Clinical Research.

Dr. Joshi earned his medical degree in India, then completed a pediatric residency in New York. He pursued his pediatric rheumatology fellowship in Boston, where his training was highly academic. He also received the 2025 Lovell Jones Rheumatology Scholarship at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine Fellowship Program in Tucson, Arizona.

Dr. Joshi uses musculoskeletal ultrasound to detect and monitor joint inflammation directly at the bedside. His RhMSUS certification means he performs the scan, interprets the images, and provides a written report in a single visit. This approach is painless and radiation-free, and it often eliminates the need for MRI with sedation in young children.

Dr. Joshi trained at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine and brings that framework into his rheumatology practice. He incorporates nutrition science, evidence-based supplements and herbal medicine, sleep, stress management, and exercise guidance alongside standard medical treatments. He coordinates with a pediatric nutritionist for the Autoimmune Protocol Diet when appropriate and tailors every integrative recommendation to the individual child.

Dr. Joshi built his practice around what he calls a joint effort: the patient, family, and physician learning from one another at every step. He prioritizes long appointments, direct communication, and care plans that reflect each family's values and real-life context. He wants parents to feel confident asking questions and children to feel safe and understood.

Dr. Joshi sees children, teens, and young adults up to age 21. His background as a board-certified pediatrician and fellowship-trained pediatric rheumatologist makes him well-suited for the full range of childhood and adolescent rheumatic conditions.

Yes. Dr. Joshi offers telemedicine visits to families throughout Nevada and Arizona. He sees patients statewide in both states via secure virtual appointments, with same- or next-day availability. House calls are currently available in the Las Vegas metro area and the Phoenix metro area.
