Prince Frederick and Huntingtown
Why Prince Frederick and Huntingtown patients choose video.
Central Calvert is the county seat at Prince Frederick, a stretch of shopping along Route 4, and Huntingtown subdivisions on wooded lots that used to be tobacco farms. Many residents commute an hour or more to Washington or Annapolis, leaving early and getting home late. Weekends mean the Bay, the boardwalk through Battle Creek Cypress Swamp, or a ballgame. Pregnancy and postpartum care, bladder urgency and neck pain from long commutes are the reasons central Calvert residents most often give for booking.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
