Cambridge and Dorchester County
Why Dorchester County patients choose video.
Dorchester County is water and marsh: Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge with its eagles, the wide Choptank at Cambridge, crab houses and watermen on Hoopers Island, and a historic downtown with a growing restaurant scene. Ironman Maryland brings triathletes to Cambridge each fall. Distances are long, and some low roads flood at high tide. Many book for back and hip pain, leaking with exercise, bladder urgency or postpartum recovery.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
