Lexington Park and Great Mills
Why Lexington Park and Great Mills patients choose video.
Lexington Park is a young, busy community: Route 235 lined with shopping centers, newer subdivisions off Great Mills Road, and plenty of engineers, technicians and families who moved to St. Mary's County for work. Many are new parents far from relatives, and specialist appointments in Annapolis or the Washington suburbs can mean well over an hour each way. Weekends go to St. Mary's River State Park and the water. New and expecting parents here often book for postpartum recovery, diastasis recti, pregnancy pelvic pain and back pain.
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 Lexington Park and Great Mills
How long is the wait for a first visit in St. Mary's County?
Most new patients are seen within a week. A free 15-minute discovery call comes first, and the 60-minute evaluation can be early morning, evening or on a weekend.
Can visits continue for someone who travels out of state for work?
Only while they are physically in Maryland. The patient must be in the state at the time of each visit, so visits are scheduled around work trips and pick back up on return.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
