Kahului and Wailuku

Why Kahului and Wailuku patients choose video.

Maui families often have one car and long workdays. Video visits remove the drive and the waiting room, and they keep care going when roads or schedules get complicated. The evaluation, plan and follow-ups all happen from home.

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