Ramona, Julian and Borrego Springs

Why San Diego backcountry patients choose video.

East of the coast, San Diego County turns into ranches, orchards, mountain towns and desert, an hour or more from the city's medical centers. Ranch families with back pain, retirees with leaking or urgency and mothers after childbirth are seen one-on-one by video.

One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
