Easton, St. Michaels and Oxford
Why Talbot County patients choose video.
Talbot County is the Eastern Shore at its most polished: galleries and brick sidewalks in Easton, the maritime museum and harbor in St. Michaels, the little ferry across the Tred Avon to Oxford, and working watermen on Tilghman Island. Each November the Waterfowl Festival fills Easton. Many residents are retirees, second-home owners and boaters, and plenty of specialist appointments mean a trip across the Bay Bridge. Talbot County patients most often book for pelvic floor changes after menopause, prolapse, bladder urgency and recovery after joint replacement.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
