Physical & Occupational Therapy in Clear Lake, IA

Clear Lake has 14 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 2 licence types.

Among the 227 places in Iowa big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Clear Lake ranks 113th by providers per resident.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Iowa — 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 360 places in Iowa with at least one registered provider, Clear Lake ranks 73rd by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 79% — 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.

14 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 4,029 licensed therapists are registered across Iowa, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.

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.
