Physical & Occupational Therapy in Dothan, AL

There are 113 licensed therapists registered in Dothan. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (65) and occupational therapist (32).

That is roughly 1.3 providers per square mile of land area, or 15.7 per 10,000 residents.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Alabama — though supply is not the same as availability. Plenty of providers in a well-served area are full, out of network, or private-pay only.

Of the 289 places in Alabama with at least one registered provider, Dothan ranks 7th by count.

The largest single group is physical therapist, at 65 providers or 58% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Alabama licenses its providers.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 60% — hold the same licence, physical therapist. Where one type dominates like this, the practical question is less which letters someone has than whether they work with what you are bringing to them.

Registered addresses are spread across 5 ZIP codes. The map above sizes each ZIP by how many providers are registered there — clustering usually follows medical districts and commercial corridors rather than population.

One caveat on reading these numbers: the registry records where a provider registered an address, not where they see clients day to day, and addresses are not always kept current. It also says nothing about whether someone is taking new clients.
