Shikha Joshi, MD

Dr. Shikha Joshi is a board-certified internal medicine physician and the founder of Bloom Direct Primary Care in East Amherst.

Before opening her own practice, she spent years treating patients in the hospital setting. There she noticed a pattern that stuck with her, that many of the people she was admitting were hospitalized for conditions that could have been prevented or better managed with lifestyle changes and easier access to primary care. That observation pushed her to pursue further training in lifestyle medicine and obesity medicine, and it shaped the more preventive approach she now brings to her patients at Bloom.
