Why Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay patients choose care at home.
Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay are big lots, good schools and full calendars. For a new mother, getting to an appointment with a baby, a car seat and US-1 traffic is the hardest part of postpartum care, and in-home visits remove all of it. Pregnancy, postpartum recovery, diastasis recti and back pain from carrying children are the everyday 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.
