Roland Park, Guilford and Mount Washington
Why North Baltimore patients choose video.
North Baltimore's older neighborhoods are porches, big trees and winding streets: Roland Park, laid out as one of the country's early planned suburbs, Guilford's tulips at Sherwood Gardens each spring, and Mount Washington's village tucked along the Jones Falls. Residents include university faculty, physicians, lawyers, families with school-age kids and many empty nesters. Most first visits from these neighborhoods involve menopause-related pelvic changes, leaking with tennis or running, bladder urgency or recovery after pelvic surgery.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions
Questions from Roland Park, Guilford and Mount Washington
Do you treat recovery after hysterectomy or prolapse surgery?
Yes. Pelvic surgery recovery is treated by video once the surgeon clears outpatient physical therapy, with a gradual plan for lifting, walking and returning to exercise.
How private is a video visit from a busy family house in Roland Park?
Visits are one-on-one on a HIPAA-compliant platform, and nothing is recorded. Any room with a door that closes works, and headphones help when the house is full.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
