Waikoloa and the Kohala Coast
Why Kohala Coast patients choose video.
The Kohala Coast is resort communities, golf, second homes and Waikoloa Village families, and a specialist appointment can mean Kona traffic or the drive up to Waimea. Golfers with back and hip pain, active retirees with leaking or urgency and resort workers on shifts are seen one-on-one by video.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Hawaii: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
