Palm Springs
Why Palm Springs patients choose video.
Palm Springs is mid-century houses, part-year residents and an active older population. Bladder urgency, leaking, prolapse, men's pelvic health after prostate surgery and recovery after hip or knee replacement are common reasons to book, and video visits keep care going through the summer heat.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
