Kent Island and Queen Anne's County
Why Queen Anne's County patients choose video.
Kent Island is the first stop over the Bay Bridge, and bridge traffic shapes life here: summer Fridays back up Route 50, and a trip to Annapolis for an appointment can take far longer than the map suggests. Commuters, boaters and young families share the island with seafood restaurants at Kent Narrows, the outlets at Queenstown, and farm country around Centreville and Sudlersville. Postpartum recovery, leaking, low back pain and pelvic pain are common reasons people here book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions
Questions from Kent Island and Queen Anne's County
Can a Kent Island patient skip the Bay Bridge entirely for pelvic floor care?
Yes. Every visit is by secure video from home, so the bridge never comes into it. A phone or laptop with a camera, a private room and floor space for a mat are the whole setup.
How often do Kent Island patients have follow-up visits?
Follow-ups are 45 minutes, usually every one to two weeks, after a 60-minute evaluation. Early morning, evening and weekend times fit around a commute in either direction.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
