Quincy, Susanville and the Northern Sierra
Why Plumas and Lassen patients choose video.
The northern Sierra and the plateau beyond are timber, ranches and towns rebuilding after recent fires, with Reno or Redding hours away. Ranch and timber families, retirees and young parents are seen one-on-one by video for back pain, leaking, prolapse and postpartum recovery.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
