Elkton, North East and Cecil County
Why Cecil County patients choose video.
Cecil County sits at the head of the Chesapeake, between the Susquehanna and the Delaware line: Elk Neck State Park and the Turkey Point lighthouse, the canal at Chesapeake City, horse farms around Fair Hill, and plenty of commuting on I-95 toward Wilmington and Baltimore. Families and retirees spread across small towns and farmland, and specialist care often means a drive in one direction or the other. Cecil County residents often book for postpartum recovery, leaking, back pain and hip pain.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
