Burns, Hines and John Day
Why Harney and Grant County patients choose video.
Harney County is bigger than several states yet home to fewer than 8,000 people: Steens Mountain, the Alvord Desert, the spring bird migration at the Malheur refuge, cattle on long ranch roads. An hour and change north on US 395, Grant County has John Day, the Strawberry Mountains and the fossil beds near Dayville. Bend is more than two hours from Burns. Low back pain, knee pain, prolapse and leaking with heavy ranch work are common reasons people here book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Oregon: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions
Questions from Burns, Hines and John Day
Is a video visit realistic from a ranch outside Burns?
Often. A phone with a camera on cellular data often works, and the free discovery call is a chance to test the signal from the spot where visits will happen.
How often are follow-ups for someone living this far out?
Usually every one to two weeks, 45 minutes each, after a 60-minute evaluation. Distance does not matter for scheduling, since every visit happens from home.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
