Urbana, New Market and Ijamsville
Why southern Frederick County patients choose video.
Southern Frederick County has filled in fast: the Villages of Urbana around their town center, Lake Linganore neighborhoods circling the water, and newer homes on former farmland near Ijamsville and Monrovia. New Market's Main Street still has antique shops and a small-town pace. Many parents commute down I-270 or east on I-70, so evenings are short and weekends full. Pregnancy pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, C-section recovery and back pain are the most frequent 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.
