Sunriver and La Pine
Why Sunriver and La Pine patients choose video.
South of Bend the pines get thicker and the winters colder: bike paths looping through Sunriver, the Deschutes winding past the resort, Mount Bachelor about 20 miles up the road and the lava fields of Newberry. La Pine is a working town with more affordable land, and Gilchrist and Crescent stretch south along Highway 97. Many households split time between here and somewhere else. Knee pain, hip pain, leaking with skiing or hiking and recovery after joint replacement 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 Sunriver and La Pine
Can visits happen from a Sunriver rental during a long stay?
Yes, as long as the patient is in Oregon at the time of each visit. A private room, a phone or laptop with a camera and space for a mat are enough.
Is rehab after a knee or hip replacement possible by video?
Yes. After the surgeon clears outpatient physical therapy, visits focus on bending the joint, rebuilding strength and getting comfortable on snow and uneven ground again.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
