Lake Oswego

Why Lake Oswego patients choose video.

Lake Oswego is close to Portland but keeps its own rhythm: boats and paddleboards on Oswego Lake, walks at George Rogers Park and Tryon Creek, tennis, swim lessons, and a commute that can stall on I-5 or Highway 217. Many households pair demanding careers with young children, and many residents are in their sixties or seventies and still very active. Postpartum recovery, leaking during tennis or pickleball, prolapse and recovery after prostate surgery are common reasons people here book.

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