Physical & Occupational Therapy in Mercedes, TX

Mercedes has 27 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 4 licence types.

With a population of 17,915, that works out to 15.1 providers per 10,000 residents. Density is a rough measure: providers register a practice address, which may be a clinic serving a much wider area than the city itself.

A figure well above the median usually means more choice and shorter waits than most of Texas — 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 921 places in Texas with at least one registered provider, Mercedes ranks 190th by count.

By licence type the breakdown is occupational therapist (21), physical therapist (3), pediatric occupational therapist (2), pediatric physical therapist (1), with 0 further types making up the remainder.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 78% — hold the same licence, occupational 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.

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.
