Sidney and Glendive
Why Sidney and Glendive patients choose video.
Sidney and Glendive sit along the lower Yellowstone, where irrigated fields and cattle meet the Bakken oil patch spilling over from North Dakota. Glendive has the badlands of Makoshika State Park, paddlefish season at Intake and Dawson Community College; Sidney and Fairview run on rigs, service yards and the farm calendar. Shift work, physical jobs and long drives are normal, and Billings is more than three hours west. Low back pain, knee pain, leaking with heavy lifting and postpartum recovery are common reasons people here 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 Sidney and Glendive
Are Sidney visits booked in Mountain Time, even for people who work in Williston?
Yes. Montana is on Mountain Time and visits are booked in local time. Williston, North Dakota, is on Central Time, an hour ahead, which matters when scheduling around a shift there.
Can an oil worker who lives in North Dakota do visits from a rental in Sidney?
Yes, as long as each visit happens while the patient is physically in Montana, such as from a private room in Sidney or Fairview. Visits from a home across the North Dakota line are not possible.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
