Schoharie County

Why Schoharie County patients choose video.

Schoharie County is farm country between Albany and Cooperstown, and a city appointment means most of a day. Farm families, SUNY Cobleskill staff and retirees are seen one-on-one by video for leaking, prolapse, back pain and recovery after surgery.

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