Pacific Palisades and Brentwood
Why Pacific Palisades and Brentwood patients choose video.
Since the Palisades fire, many families have been between homes for months. Video care travels with them: the same therapist and the same program, from a rental in Santa Monica or a relative's guest room. For Brentwood patients, video removes the Sunset Boulevard commute.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
