Mammoth Lakes and the Eastern Sierra
Why Eastern Sierra patients choose video.
The east side of the Sierra is ski towns, climbing, ranches and very long drives to any city. Skiers, climbers and trail runners with knee, hip and back problems, retirees with leaking and new parents are seen one-on-one by video, through winter storms and summer crowds.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
