Saratoga Springs

Why Saratoga Springs patients choose video.

Saratoga has track season, Skidmore and a growing number of young families in Malta and Clifton Park. Postpartum recovery, leaking with exercise and running, and recovery after hip or knee replacement are common reasons people here book. Video visits mean no drive to Albany.

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