Eureka, Arcata and Humboldt County
Why Humboldt County patients choose video.
Humboldt is redwoods, fog, a university town and long distances to anywhere else: San Francisco is five hours by road. Students, faculty, timber and fishing families and retirees are seen one-on-one by video for pelvic floor and orthopedic care.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
