Additional Job Details (if applicable)
Hear From Our Current PT Staff:
Cooley Dickinson seems to have juggled the delicate balance of meeting the patient needs and impressing upon us the importance of a busy efficient schedule without an overbearing pressure or unrealistic quotas.
I would also say that working in a hospital-based outpatient setting allows therapists to gain experience with a wide variety of patient diagnoses and we support each clinician with the ability to have 45 min. of one/one patient care time throughout the day.
What I like most about working here is that I can focus on providing quality care. I can treat the patient the way I want to.
Management listens, cares, and shows up but never micromanages.
Our facilities are clean, efficient, and well equipped.
