Ishani Mehta, MD

Topiwala National Medical College and B.Y.L. Nair Chairitable Hospital

I was born in the central part of India. I probably started dancing before I was walking. I grew up learning different styles of dances and performing stage shows across the state. When I moved to Mumbai for Med School, I discovered Aerial Gymnastics and fell in love with swinging on the hoops up in the air. I am hoping to explore more dance forms in DC and dance my way through the residency. I enjoy cycling in the morning and cooking, but my true passion is watching Netflix in my pajamas while drinking green tea.

Favorite Movie/Binge: Brooklyn 99, Schitts Creek
Hobbies: Exploring different dance
Fun Fact: I was 7 years old when I gave my first dance performance on stage and it was broadcasted on National Television!
Future Plans/Subspecialty Interest: Primary Care of Endocrinology. In the future, I want to work with underserved populations and address mental health issues in children.
