Laie, Kahuku and Hauula
Why Laie, Kahuku and Hauula patients choose video.
Koolauloa families are a long drive from specialty care in either direction. Many households here have young children, and a visit at home, at a time that works around school and work, is often the only realistic option.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Hawaii: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
