Chestertown, Rock Hall and Kent County
Why Kent County patients choose video.
Kent County has the smallest population in Maryland: colonial brick streets and a college in Chestertown, charter boats and crab pots in Rock Hall, a quiet beach at Betterton on the Sassafras, and miles of grain fields in between. Retirees, college staff and farm families make up much of the county, and larger medical centers are an hour or more away in Annapolis, Baltimore or Wilmington. Prolapse, bladder urgency, hip pain and pelvic floor changes with menopause are what people here usually book for.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
