Federal Hill, Canton and Fells Point
Why Baltimore waterfront patients choose video.
Baltimore's harbor neighborhoods are rowhouses, roof decks and steep stairs, with the waterfront promenade linking Federal Hill, Harbor East, Fells Point and Canton. Many residents are young professionals and new parents who run the promenade, walk the dog in Patterson Park or haul a stroller up three flights. Driving across town for a weekly appointment means circling the block for parking afterward. Postpartum recovery, leaking with running, pelvic pain in men and women, and erectile problems linked to the pelvic floor are what most often bring people here to book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
