My day is dynamic and rewarding, as I get to create personalized, evidence-based treatment plans for my patients. I’m able to be creative with my interventions while making sure they are grounded in research and proven techniques. I work closely with each patient, guiding them through their plan of care from start to finish. This allows me to adjust and evolve treatments based on their progress and feedback. I find it fulfilling to see the impact of my creativity on their recovery.
I’ve learned how to balance creativity with evidence-based practice, allowing me to tailor interventions to the unique needs of each patient. I’ve also deepened my understanding of the importance of a patient-centered approach. The continuity of care that comes from working with patients throughout their entire plan of care has been incredibly valuable, allowing me to be more engaged and responsive to their needs as they progress.

Management has been incredibly supportive, offering me both autonomy and structured guidance. As a new graduate, the resources available through the residency program were invaluable, ensuring my transition into clinical practice was seamless. I’ve had consistent check-ins from leadership at all levels, and they’ve been responsive to any questions I have. The collaborative environment and the focus on my growth have made it easy for me to feel supported and engaged in my development.

The workplace culture is built on collaboration, support, and continuous learning. As a new grad, I felt immediately welcomed and supported by my team and leadership. The residency program provided me with a strong foundation to build my clinical skills, and the open communication from my care coordinators and clinical direction ensured that I was never without guidance. This inclusive environment has made it easier for me to grow professionally and feel confident in my role.

The most challenging part of the job is managing the complexity of different patient cases, especially when dealing with varied musculoskeletal conditions. However, the resources and support I’ve received throughout my transition as a new grad have made it easier to handle these challenges. Whether it’s advice from senior staff, input from my team, or guidance from the residency program, I always have the tools and support needed to adapt and provide the best care possible.

The most enjoyable part of my job is the opportunity to creatively develop treatment plans for my patients, while remaining grounded in evidence-based practice. The support from my team, residency program, and senior staff has made my transition as a new grad smooth and rewarding. I love being part of my patients’ journey through their entire plan of care, and I appreciate that I’m always learning and growing with the ongoing guidance from those around me.



Overall happy with the company. Benefits are pretty competitive. In terms of work life balance-- it could be better. In a position that "punches a clock," we should be able to actually clock out. I find myself being contacted frequently outside of my scheduled hours and even when I'm on scheduled days off for things that I shouldn't be the only one that knows the answer to. Once you've worked for the company and have become an expert in working at the Front Desk, it's more enjoyable to work here. However, I feel like there is also this culture that is created that no one else knows the answers to anything if that front desk person isn't there to figure it out. I don't think operating to the point where you're drowning and putting out fires if a particular front desk person takes a single day off is the best way to run this business. A PT should understand the basics of our guidelines with insurance and be able to speak to that, a Tech should know how to take a payment if a CC is slammed and vice versa-- a Care Coordinator should have some knowledge and training of what is happening out there in the gym with the patients and be able to easily come out from behind the desk and supervise a patient's exercise or get someone started on a bike if a PT or Tech needs help. I just think that an environment where you can all lend a hand for each other when it becomes necessary will help the "team" moral that seems ideal and allows us not to skip a beat when it comes to Patient Experience. In another topic, I do think that opportunities for advancement and/or transitions are not offered fairly. CM positions have to be lobbied for and these separate IVC and Centralized Scheduling positions should be offered to all CC's to apply for and even be given the opportunity to apply for them. Especially before offering these types of positions to outside talent. Who better than someone who already knows how to do these tasks for this company already?

As a previous employee, I can say this would be a decent starter job for anyone looking to get into the healthcare field to see how it really is. However, there is a ton of work to be done, and the pay is below sufficient. I came into the role with years of experience and was not given a single raise even after being there a couple years. Raises are based on a ‘levels’ system. You don’t move up in levels, you don’t get a raise, no matter how much experience you have under your belt. And there aren’t enough people qualified to train people who need more experience or want to move up the levels system in place. There is a ton of drama in the workspace and tons of petty managers/higher ups, and A LOT of favoritism among management and coworkers, especially in the care coordinator world. 

However one of the positives is their culture system and they have a very strong one at that. They’re excellent about getting PT Techs training under their belt and giving them the knowledge needed to move onto becoming a PTA or PT. They’re great about getting PT’s further knowledge if they’re finishing up their education/fellowship. Otherwise, if you’re looking to come into the company, you’re better off coming on with extensive knowledge to work hands on with patients or come in as a new care coordinator and be willing to work up their levels system and have a ton of patience because it is a lot that will be expected of you with below average pay. 

I was a care coordinator for the company for almost 2 years. I loved the patients and I loved most of my coworkers. When there was a change in management, then there was insane micromanagement of all care coordinators. There was also major favoritism going on and those who weren’t a favorite, got crapped on so bad and talked down on by management. They claimed in order to move up/make more, you had to do their so called levels system and complete those for advancement and pay raises. I had also requested further training to move up and that was almost impossible to get and the ball for it didn’t get rolling until right before I left. I had found out multiple coworkers were getting pay raises who had been there less time than others who had been there even longer and doing even more work/more experienced without completing any further ‘levels systems training’. We were overworked and underpaid. I still hear it’s still a thing. The culture is great and they’re big on wanting a family style feel. Overall, care coordinators really deserve a lot more compassion for what they do and a better pay raise as it is such a stressful job. 

On the surface it seems like a fun place to work, and it can be, but it all really depends on your clinic director. If you have the right clinic director your clinic will be cohesive, team oriented, and relaxed. If you don’t however, your life can be a nightmare. My clinic director was a bipolar mess, she would go through cycles of loading so much work and projects on herself and then get completely overworked and stressed out (out of her own doing) and then demand that we change her schedule around to minimize her patient load. Then once her projects were completed (or dumped on another staff member) she would complain about how slow we were and then force us to continuously call potential patients on the phone trying to get them to come in. Her mood was completely dependent on the changing of the winds or the planetary alignments and near the end I dreaded going into work. 

For the amount of work they demand you do the wages are ridiculously low. Healthcare benefits are okay.

Working with the physical therapists and the patients is wonderful. I Love their upbeat, positive attitude. On the other hand, the admin work is quite overwhelming. So many compliance measures that the admin staff need to keep on top of. We are constantly putting out fires. Whew! The hardest part of working at Texas PTS? Managing the day to day compliance aspect of office procedures to include auditing medicare charts on a weekly basis, entering all transactions, including charges, payments, and almost all data entry, in two different systems. Not chartless as of yet. However, we are still required to scan most of the chart into the system for our 3rd party biller to have access to all billing info. We are required to WRITE each and every copay on a log!?  Even though we've entered the payments into both systems! Quite tedious indeed!

Has good benefits, and changing to working remote was better after my in office with all the girls only environment in the billing department. My experience was 3 days training then covered 6 clinics on my own. Girls in the office are very gossipy including management. I felt bullied and the management wasn’t attentive to my concerns. Brushed everything under the rug. When you ask for help you get a run around until you eventually figure it out by asking representatives with the insurance companies you work with. Went above management with my concerns and nothing changed so I was forced to resign. Gained some experience and knowledge working with the insurance reps, but not happy with the girls I worked with even remotely with the daily meetings over zoom. 

Texas PTS is a great place to work for new grads. The company supports you financially and logistically through residency programs in sports and orthopedics and the mentorship is invaluable. The clinicians who work here are always on the cutting edge of the literature and practice. The down side of the company is the high volume and relatively low salary. The healthcare benefits are good but pay is low during residency and still well below the city average for specialists after the residency. Clinic directors also don't get paid what they deserve. The model seems to encourage new grads and discourage staying with the company but I am not sure of the intent. In a typical 9 hour day, the expectation is to see at least 15 patients and have an hour lunch break. The company values staying up to date with the latest practices and literature but expects the best out of therapists without providing the best compensation.

There are good people in the company. They tell you to only see 11-12, which is what it comes out to on average with the slow months at the beginning of the year. But during peak times you will have 14-17 patients on the schedule. The environment is very numbers oriented and a lot of telling you what you are doing wrong and not a lot of praise of areas you do well. They tell you the only way to grow a clinic is to push yourself to see 14-17 a day and then they will hire a new clinician to help but by then it is too late and you are burnt out. Since I have been here there have been 8 PTs who have left as well as front desk workers so turnover is high. They love PT and are good at PT but they do not separate it well and have said the words "work life balance is not a real thing" as well as "burnout is not real, but a social media construct". They push you and work you hard. The pay is also starting between 60-70K.


I had the opportunity work at this location for almost a year. This is a fast paced job and requires attention to detail. I learned a lot and had the opportunity even watch some evals when time permitted. If you know Spanish this is a great place to be a tech at, you will definitely work on your soft skills. As a student who was applying to physical therapy school it was nice to see a well rounded clinic, patient and therapists wise. I also received guidance and support from all the physical therapists when applying to physical therapy school and during the interview process. Not only did they help me prep for interviews, write me a letter of recommendation, and recommend books to prepare me for life. Thankfully I was accepted to PT school and started this summer! I would have not traded this experience for anything in the world. If you need some tech experience come here!
