Meghna Joshi, MD completed her residency training in general psychiatry at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and served as Assistant Chief Resident during her last year. Dr. Joshi completed her fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Texas A&M University Scott and White Hospital program in Temple, Texas and served as the Chief Resident. While training at these respected facilities, Dr Joshi worked in a variety of different clinical settings including outpatient, inpatient and emergency rooms. This allowed her to have experience with many different patient types and ages.  After completion of her training, Dr. Joshi worked in a group private practice in Plano and did contract telemedicine work for rural communities throughout Texas, prior to starting her own practice in 2011. Dr. Joshi is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in both General Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.   She enjoys spending time with her family and feels that being a parent allows her to have a better understanding of her patients and their family units.

We are a small boutique practice and that allows us to get to know our patients and their families.  We are unable to handle crisis care due to the small size and nature of this office practice.  Please note this office is Child Psychiatry of Dallas (now there is also another office called Dallas Child Psychiatry with different doctors)
