Are you a new or recent DPT graduate passionate about pediatrics but worried about high-volume productivity requirements?

At WellTech Partners, we prioritize clinical excellence over patient quantity. We are seeking a Pediatric PT to join our team in a role specifically designed to bridge the gap between graduation and expert practice through structured, 1:1 mentorship.

• 1:1 Patient Care: No double-booking. Spend a full hour with every child to ensure the best outcomes.
• True Work-Life Balance: Full-time status is achieved with 30–32 clinical hours per week, giving you ample time for documentation and professional development without staying late.
• Modern Facilities: Practice in a state-of-the-art clinic designed specifically for pediatric engagement and sensory-rich therapy.

Benefits & Compensation

• Comprehensive Health: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance.
• Financial Security: 401(k) with company matching.
