Joshua Amano, PA-C

Joshua Amano, PA-C, is a nationally certified and state-licensed Physician
Assistant practicing in the Vascular Surgery department at Washington
Township Medical Foundation.

Having grown up in Southern California, Josh graduated from the University
of California, Los Angeles with a degree in Physiological Science. After
leading several short-term medical mission trips to Tegucigalpa, Honduras
and helping run a street-side mobile clinic for the homeless in West Hollywood,
Josh decided to pursue further medical training as a Physician Assistant.
He graduated with a Master of Medical Science degree from the Yale Physician
Assistant Online Program and completed some of his clinical training at
Washington Hospital in Fremont during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.



His approach to patient care? “I believe everyone deserves to be
heard,” said Josh, who wants patients to walk away feeling understood
and cared for like family. “Medicine can be an intimidating and
stressful experience for many,” he added, “and that’s
why I always try to explain things in accessible language. Patients should
walk away with a good grasp of what our plan is––together––and
feel like they were part of the process, rather than being thrown into
a flurry of medical jargon.”

He joined Washington Township Medical Foundation in September 2020. “I
am really drawn to and impressed by the people,” he told us. “Everyone
from the patients to providers to the medical assistants all carry a standard
of professionalism and warmth I did not find anywhere else. It’s
really a great community.”

In his free time, Josh enjoys trying new cuisines, leading the music ministry
at his church, and spending time with his wife and son. He currently lives
in Santa Clara, California.
