My family would like to offer condolences to the Joshi family. I became a patient of Dr. Joshi's after Dr Bratt retired. He was only the second doctor in my life and I found him to be an excellent doctor and a great conversationalist. My wife is from China and he was her first "American" doctor and she really missed him when he went to the VA. Dr Joshi helped my father through some very serious medical problems and would always take time to talk to my dad about politics. He was not only a doctor but a kind and great soul. We will miss him.

This kind and gentle man, he will be missed. My Dad was a patient and friend, they traveled together, spent time on the farm and in Vt. We always enjoyed their company. Please know we are thinking of you.

My sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Joshi. I worked with him at Highland Hospital and I was his patient until he left private practice. He had an ability to remember things about you and your family even if you bumped into him away from the office. He was unique, caring, and will be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about Dr. Joshi's passing. He was my doctor for many years and I considered him a friend and a confidante. He helped me in so many ways - not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. He also helped and was very kind to my mom on several occasions when she was in from Vermont.
My condolences to you all. Nikhil,when I asked about you, your dad's eyes would just light up with pride! I'm so sorry for your loss.

I was so shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Joshi's death. He was my trusted Doctor for 21 years and there will never be another Doctor like him - he was deeply compassionate and very honest - I respected what he said and trusted his advice. This is indeed a great loss to the medical community, as we have lost a fine Doctor who cared about his patients first and all other burocracy second. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.

Dr Joshi was a fanastic human being and Dr. he would always bring a smile to a persons face. He was the way a Dr should be. I will always know him as a caring person. He went out of his way to help a friend from New Zealand. It was a pleasure to know him.
