Waldorf and White Plains
Why Waldorf and White Plains patients choose video.
Waldorf is Southern Maryland's biggest suburb, a crossroads of Route 301 and Route 5 with big-box shopping, commuter lots and the planned neighborhoods of St. Charles. Many households commute to Washington or Prince George's County, and evenings go to ballfields and Blue Crabs games at the stadium. Young families are everywhere, and so are long drives. The list of reasons to book here starts with postpartum recovery and C-section recovery, then back pain and pain with intercourse after childbirth.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Yes. Early morning and evening times are available, plus weekends, and visits happen by secure video from home, so there is no extra drive on Route 301 or Route 5.
