Washington County

Why Washington County patients choose video.

Washington County is dairy farms, slate quarries and small villages in the hills east of the Hudson. Farm families and retirees with back pain, leaking or prolapse are seen one-on-one by video, with no drive to Albany or Saratoga.

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