Lake George and the Southern Adirondacks

Why Lake George patients choose video.

The southern Adirondacks are lake houses, year-round towns and long winters. In January, a drive to Albany for an appointment is a gamble on the Northway. Video visits keep care on schedule in any weather, and the plan covers everything from postpartum recovery to back pain from shoveling and boat season.

One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in New York: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
