Fort Lauderdale
Why Fort Lauderdale patients choose video.
Fort Lauderdale is boats, beaches and I-95 traffic. Video visits take 45 minutes at home, with no drive to Miami or Boca, and the same plan follows patients onto a boat or into a second home. Leaking, urgency, prolapse, men's pelvic health and back pain are common reasons to book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Florida: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
