Bandon, Gold Beach and Brookings
Why South Coast patients choose video.
The far south coast is wild and spread out: cranberry bogs and links golf around Bandon, the crane that lifts boats in and out at Port Orford, jet boats running up the Rogue from Gold Beach, and mild winters along the Chetco in Brookings. Many residents are retirees, and Portland is most of a day's drive. Specialty appointments often mean hours on Highway 101. Prolapse, bladder urgency, recovery after knee or hip replacement and leaking after prostate surgery are common reasons people here book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Oregon: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions
Questions from Bandon, Gold Beach and Brookings
Can winter visitors from out of state be seen while staying in Brookings?
Yes, while they are in Oregon. Each visit is tied to where the patient is at that moment, so a winter in Brookings works, and visits pause after the return home out of state.
Can men recovering from prostate surgery be seen from Gold Beach?
Yes. Leaking after prostatectomy, urgency and pelvic pain in men are part of the practice. Visits are one-on-one by secure video, with no long drive up the coast.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
