Physical & Occupational Therapy in Bethesda, MD

Bethesda has 437 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 2 licence types.

That is roughly 32.9 providers per square mile of land area.

Of the 289 places in Maryland with at least one registered provider, Bethesda ranks 3rd by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 66% — 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.

There is no per-resident figure on this page because Bethesda is a census designated place rather than an incorporated town — a community the Census Bureau names and draws boundaries for, but does not publish a population estimate for. The provider count is unaffected; only the ratio is missing.

Registered addresses are spread across 8 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.
