Waianae Coast
Why Waianae Coast patients choose video.
From Makaha or Waianae, a Honolulu clinic visit can take most of a day. Video visits make a full course of physical therapy realistic: one 60-minute evaluation and 45-minute follow-ups, all from home. A phone with a camera and a quiet room are enough.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Hawaii: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
