Los Altos and Los Altos Hills
Why Los Altos and Los Altos Hills patients choose video.
Many Los Altos families are juggling demanding jobs and young children. Pelvic floor recovery after pregnancy often gets pushed to the bottom of the list. Video visits make it fit: 45 minutes at home, during a nap or after bedtime.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
