St. Augustine
Why St. Augustine patients choose video.
St. Johns County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Florida, with young families in new communities and retirees by the water. Pregnancy and postpartum care, leaking, urgency and back pain are common reasons to book. Video visits mean no drive up I-95 to Jacksonville.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Florida: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
