Physical Therapist – Elevate Your Career & Your Patients’ OutcomesJoin a Team That Supports Your Growth

Are you an orthopedic Physical Therapist who knows you have more to offer your patients, but feel held back by high volume and billing codes? 

• Do you leave work feeling drained because you know you could have done so much more for them if you just had the time to work with them 1-on-1?
• Are you tired of patients seeing PT as just a box to check before their next MRI, surgery, or prescription?
• Do you crave mentorship, collaboration, and growth to improve your clinical reasoning, but feel like you’ve been left to figure things out on your own?
• Do you love working with patients who are highly motivated and invested in their recovery…people who actually want to get back to hiking, lifting, running, golf, pickleball, or playing with their kids?
• Do you want to work in a clinic where you can openly discuss cases with your team, without feeling judged?

If you’re 2-3 years out of school, have experienced high-volume settings (and want out), and know deep down that PT should be more than just “functional outcomes”, keep reading.

Who We Are

The Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT) was founded in 2016 to challenge the traditional PT model. We are one of the largest direct-pay physical therapy clinics in the country, setting the standard for a consistent and high-level patient experience. Our goal is to leave our teammates, our patients, and our profession better than we found them.

We don’t just provide treatment. We partner with our patients to guide them through a full recovery from injury to performance - without unnecessary surgeries, medications, or insurance limitations.

A True Team Culture - Inside and Outside the Clinic

• Weekly clinical case meetings—so you can openly discuss complex cases without feeling judged.
• Mentorship & collaboration—because we believe every PT deserves support and continued growth.
• Team outings & events—because we actually like spending time together outside of work.
• A light-hearted, results-driven atmosphere where work is fun, fulfilling, and rewarding.

Why Our PTs Love Working Here✔ No More Rushing Through Appointments

• 1-on-1, full-hour treatments so you can take your patients through the full process—including exercise-based solutions that create lasting change.
• No aides or techs. You control your patient’s care.

✔ Mentorship & Collaboration - Every Week

• Weekly clinical case meetings with fellow PTs to help solve complex cases as a team.
• Our residency-style clinical improvement program ensures you never stop growing.

✔ Work With Patients Who Actually Want to Get Better

• Our patients are highly motivated, invested, and goal-driven.
• They’re here because they want to hike, lift, run, golf, and move freely—and they trust you to help them get there.

✔ A Culture That Supports You

• Light-hearted, results-oriented team.
• No drama, no politics, just great people who love what they do.
• Work alongside providers who challenge and support you—so you can be proud of who your patients see when you’re on vacation.

✔ Get Your Life Back

• No bringing notes home. You’ll finish your documentation in-session.
• Competitive salary + benefits
  • 401k matching
  • Healthcare
  • PTO
• Opportunities for career growth as we expand our multidisciplinary team (PT, massage therapy, shockwave, EMTT).
