Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead
Why Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead patients choose video.
The San Bernardino mountain towns are cabins, ski runs and year-round residents who know what winter does to the drive down the mountain. Video visits keep care on schedule in any weather. Knee and back problems from skiing and snowboarding, leaking, prolapse and recovery after surgery are common reasons to book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
