Ocala and Marion County
Why Ocala patients choose video.
Marion County is horse country: thoroughbred farms, show barns, retirees on acreage and a lot of miles between towns. Riders with pelvic, hip and back pain, farm workers, and retirees with leaking or urgency are seen one-on-one by video, without the drive to Gainesville 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.
