Upper East Side
Why Upper East Side patients choose video.
On the Upper East Side, time is the scarce thing: school drop-off, board meetings, travel, a building full of neighbors in the elevator. A 45-minute video follow-up fits before the first call of the day. Pelvic floor care after pregnancy, through menopause and after prostate surgery are common reasons people here book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in New York: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
