Sanibel and Captiva
Why Sanibel and Captiva patients choose video.
Sanibel and Captiva are barrier islands joined to the mainland by a single causeway. Island residents rebuilding after the storms, retirees and seasonal families are seen one-on-one by video, with no drive to Fort Myers. Leaking, prolapse, back pain and recovery after surgery 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.
