New Smyrna Beach
Why New Smyrna Beach patients choose video.
New Smyrna is a surf town that grew up: surfers, young families, retirees and second homes along the beach. Back and shoulder pain from surfing, postpartum recovery, leaking and joint-replacement recovery are common reasons to book. Video visits mean no drive to Daytona or Orlando.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Florida: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
