Hawaii Kai and East Honolulu
Why Hawaii Kai and East Honolulu patients choose video.
East Honolulu has one road in and out. A video visit turns a two-hour round trip into a 45-minute session at home. Many patients here are active: paddlers, hikers, golfers and runners on the Kahala loop, and the home program is built around the sport, not a clinic machine.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Hawaii: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
