Key West
Why Key West patients choose video.
Key West is about four hours by road from Miami, and few people want to make that drive for an appointment. Video visits bring a specialist to the conch house or the condo. Service-industry workers with back and foot pain, retirees with leaking or urgency and men after prostate surgery are seen one-on-one.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Florida: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
