Northern Catskills
Why northern Catskills patients choose video.
The mountaintop and the western Catskills are ski towns, farms and second homes, a long way from Kingston, Albany or Oneonta in winter. Skiers and snowboarders with knee and back problems, farm families, retirees and weekend households are all seen one-on-one by video.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in New York: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
