Marco Island
Why Marco Island patients choose video.
Marco is an island of boaters, beachgoers and winter residents, and a specialist appointment means the Jolley Bridge and Collier Boulevard. Video visits bring care to the condo or the canal house. Leaking, urgency, prolapse and recovery after joint replacement 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.

Questions
Questions from Marco Island
Can winter residents start care here?
Yes. Care starts in Florida by video, and because Dr. Shalem is licensed in seven states, it can often continue after the season; we check first.
Do you treat leaking when coughing or sneezing?
Yes. Leaking with coughing, sneezing or lifting is one of the most common reasons women and men book.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
