Malibu
Why Malibu patients choose video.
From Point Dume, a specialist in Santa Monica or the Valley can be a two-hour round trip on PCH. Video visits remove the drive entirely, and they continue without interruption when the highway closes or the household is staying somewhere else for a while.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
