Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree
Why Morongo Basin patients choose video.
The high desert above Palm Springs is artists, climbers, retirees and young families, with long drives down the grade for most appointments. Video visits remove the drive. Back pain, leaking, postpartum recovery and climbing and hiking injuries 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.
