Solomons and Lusby
Why Solomons and Lusby patients choose video.
Southern Calvert is marinas and fossil beaches: the Solomons riverwalk and the Calvert Marine Museum, sailboats anchored in Back Creek, shark teeth along the shore at Calvert Cliffs State Park, and the tall Thomas Johnson Bridge over to St. Mary's County. Lusby and Chesapeake Ranch Estates hold young families and power plant workers, and many residents commute north on Route 4. Leaking, in women and in men after prostate surgery, is a common reason to book, along with back pain and postpartum recovery.
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 Solomons and Lusby
Can boaters in Solomons keep visits going through the summer?
Yes. Visits are by secure video from a private room at home, with early morning, evening and weekend times, so a weekend on the water does not have to mean a missed follow-up.
Do you see men from Lusby and Solomons after prostate surgery?
Yes. Leaking after prostate surgery is treated one-on-one by video with pelvic floor training and a home program, once the surgeon clears outpatient physical therapy.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
