Billings
Why Billings patients choose video.
Billings is Montana's biggest city and the place much of the eastern half of the state comes for shopping, specialists and flights. Refineries, rail yards, hospitals and energy offices keep it working, the Rims frame the skyline, and growth on the West End toward Shiloh Road means young families and long cross-town drives. Shift work is common, and so is a calendar split between kids and two jobs. Postpartum recovery, bladder leaking, overactive bladder and low back pain are common reasons people across Billings book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Montana: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions
Questions from Billings
Is overactive bladder treated by video, or does it need an office in Billings?
It is treated by video. Urgency, frequency and overactive bladder are worked on with bladder training, pelvic floor exercise and daily habits. If a hands-on assessment would change the plan, Dr. Shalem says so and helps coordinate local care.
Is it discreet for Billings health care workers who would rather not be treated where they work?
Yes. Visits are one-on-one on a HIPAA-compliant platform, nothing is recorded, and there is no waiting room or front desk to walk past. Early morning, evening and weekend times fit around hospital shifts.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
