San Francisco

Why San Francisco patients choose video.

In San Francisco, a clinic visit is a parking problem, a hill and a stroller. Video visits happen in the apartment, with a program designed for small spaces. Postpartum recovery, pelvic pain and return to running on the Marina Green are among the most common reasons patients book.

One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
