DrSensory for Pediatric Therapists

DrSensory is a directory families use free to find occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy clinics: 3,591 clinics across all 50 states and Washington, DC. Every clinic keeps a basic listing at no cost. Claiming yours and subscribing, at $29.99 a month or $349.99 a year, lets you edit the profile, add your logo, photos and hours, collect and answer reviews, and receive family inquiries yourself in a secure portal. There is no contract, and nothing is charged while you claim.

Who is this section for?

Outpatient occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology clinics in the US that want more families to find them. The directory lists clinics rather than individual therapists, so one listing covers a whole practice at one address. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities and chiropractic practices are not listed.

It is written for four kinds of clinician, and each needs something slightly different:

Each row has its own path in Where should you start? below.

What is DrSensory, to a clinic?

A parent-facing directory, free on the family’s side and paid on yours. Families search it for occupational, physical and speech therapy near them, read profiles and send messages. They never pay to search it or to contact a clinic. Clinics pay to take control of their listing and to extend it.

These figures are counted from the directory itself each time this page is served, so they move as clinics are added. A clinic at one address that offers two therapies counts once in the total and once under each therapy.

The directory sits beside DrSensory’s guides for parents to occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy. A listing does not buy a mention in any of them: DrSensory does not sell placement in its clinical content. Nor is a listing an endorsement. DrSensory does not verify clinical quality, and says so on every results page.

How does a DrSensory listing work?

Claim it, activate it, then answer the families who write. Claiming costs nothing; activating is the subscription; inquiries arrive in your portal.

1. Claim. On Claim your profile, search for your practice by name, address or phone, tick every location you run, and confirm your email with the six-digit code it sends. Choose a password of at least 12 characters, then set up two-factor sign-in with an authenticator app. Nothing is charged.
2. Activate. Start a subscription from Billing in the portal. Fill in the listing editor, preview the page, and publish. A published change appears on your profile in about a minute, and you can publish once every seven days.
3. Receive inquiries. When a family writes from your profile, the address you gave as your email for family inquiries is told that a message is waiting. The message itself is read in the portal, not sent by email, because what a parent writes about their child is health information. You reply from your own address.

Every screen of the claim, and how to make the profile worth finding, is in How to claim and optimize your DrSensory profile.

What does a DrSensory listing cost?

$29.99 a month or $349.99 a year for the first location. Each additional location is $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year.

• Per clinic, not per therapist. Listings at one address are one clinic and cost one price, even when the clinic is listed for occupational, physical and speech therapy.
• No contract. Cancel at any time. Your listing goes back to a basic unclaimed entry rather than disappearing.
• Yearly costs less. Twelve months on the monthly plan come to $359.88; the yearly plan is $349.99, which is $9.89 less.
• Nothing is charged while you claim. The account exists first; you pay from inside the portal once you have looked around.
• Featured city placement is not part of it. The pricing page shows it as coming soon and priced separately from the listing.

Whether that price pays for itself depends on your numbers, not ours. Are paid directories worth it? has a calculator for cost per new patient at this price, or at any directory’s price.

What does a paid listing include that a free one does not?

Control and contact. A paid listing is the same page made yours: you correct and extend it, families can review you, and their messages reach you.

“Verified” means the practice took a subscription and confirmed its own details. It does not mean DrSensory checked its clinical work.

What will a listing not do?

It will not guarantee rankings, create demand that is not there, or vouch for your care. Be wary of any directory that promises otherwise.

• No ranking promise, on DrSensory or on Google. Google says there is no way to request or pay for a better local ranking.¹
• No traffic promise. DrSensory publishes no figure for how many families will see or contact a profile, and this page will not guess one.
• No endorsement. A listing means a practice appears in the directory, not that DrSensory recommends it.
• No sold leads. Inquiries go to your practice and only to your practice.
• No search-engine credit from the website link. The link from a paid profile to your site is marked as sponsored, as Google asks of paid links.² It sends families to you; it is not a backlink for ranking.

Where should you start?

Search for your practice first. Your clinic may already be listed, and claiming an existing listing keeps the page families may have found. Then follow the path that fits you.

If you own an established practice

1. Search Claim your profile by practice name. If nothing comes up, try a shorter version of the name, then your phone number.
2. Tick every address you run, so all your locations sit on one account.
3. In the editor, do the basics, therapies and ages first: the therapies you tick decide which condition and service tags you are offered, and ticking 18+ adds the adult ones.
4. Write the description in your own words, then add your logo and up to five photos of the space.
5. Publish, and ask families for reviews the honest way: everyone, with nothing offered in return.

If you are starting a practice

• Search anyway: the directory is built from public records, not from who has signed up.
• If you are not there, tick “my clinic is not listed yet” and add the location. Nothing is published until you subscribe, so you can fill it in before you open.
• The monthly plan lets you test the listing without a year’s commitment. Run your own numbers through the cost-per-new-patient calculator first.
• Set up a Google Business Profile as well; Google does not charge for one.³

If you work solo or by telehealth

• Tick “We offer telehealth”. Your profile then says “Offers telehealth appointments”, and the Telehealth tag can go under How we work.
• If you visit families at home, tick the In-home visits tag. If you see families only by booking, tick “By appointment only”: the profile says so where opening hours would be, so nobody turns up at a door that is not open.
• Say in your description which ages you see. A practice that sees only toddlers, or only teenagers, saves a family a wasted call by saying so.

If you manage a clinic that is hiring

• DrSensory is not a job board. A listing helps families find your clinic; it does not advertise vacancies.
• One account holds every location. Each location after the first is $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year.
• The account has one more login than it has locations: two for one clinic, four for three. Every login can edit, publish and reply.
• When a new therapist frees up capacity, change “Accepting new patients” and the typical wait. Those two lines are what a family reads before deciding to call.
