Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells and La Quinta
Why Coachella Valley patients choose video.
The desert's golf and tennis communities are full of active retirees and seasonal residents. Leaking on the court, urgency on the course, prolapse and recovery after joint replacement are common reasons to book. Video visits come to the house, the condo or the casita.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in California: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
