The Hamptons
Why Hamptons patients choose video.
Summer on the East End means Montauk Highway traffic and no appetite for a long drive to an appointment, and for year-round residents specialty care often means the drive west. Video visits work from a beach house or a city apartment, so a plan started in July continues in October without starting over.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in New York: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
