Bowie and Upper Marlboro
Why Bowie and Upper Marlboro patients choose video.
Prince George's County east of the Beltway mixes established Bowie subdivisions, newer Mitchellville and Fairwood neighborhoods, and farm country around Croom and the county seat in Upper Marlboro, where the equestrian center hosts horse shows. Many households commute into Washington on Route 50 or the Beltway, and summer evenings go to Bowie Baysox games. Pregnancy and postpartum care, pelvic pain, sciatica and leaking after childbirth are common reasons people here book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
