About Hand Therapy Near Me
Hand Therapy Near Me is the most complete, trustworthy directory of hand therapy providers in the United States — built for patients who need real help finding the right care.
Our Mission
We list every NPI-registered hand therapist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, and hand surgeon in the country, and we go one step further: we verify and surface Certified Hand Therapists (CHTs) — the credential that signals advanced, specialized expertise — so patients can find not just someone nearby, but someone genuinely qualified.
We exist because the current options fail patients. The HTCC's own CHT locator is hard to navigate. Zocdoc skews toward the most-advertised, not the most-qualified. General search results surface whoever paid for the best ad. Hand Therapy Near Me fixes this. We give every provider a public profile — free — because the goal is completeness, not commercialization.
How It Works
Every NPI-registered hand therapy provider in the United States has a free listing in our directory. Providers who want to stand out can verify their identity and upgrade their profile with a photo, bio, and detailed practice information. The directory itself never withholds information that helps patients make good decisions — credentials, location, and contact details are always visible.
About Our Data
All provider information is sourced from the NPPES National Provider Registry, a public dataset maintained by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This is the same authoritative source used by insurance companies, hospitals, and healthcare systems to verify provider credentials.
CHT (Certified Hand Therapist) status is determined by parsing the credential field in the NPPES record. We display a CHT badge only when the credential is explicitly listed — no exceptions for “close enough.” If the NPPES data is ambiguous, we show no badge rather than a wrong one.
Our Values
Credential Integrity
CHT badges are earned by credential, not by payment. Accuracy is non-negotiable.
Patient First
Every decision starts with the same question: does this make it easier or harder for a patient to find qualified care?
Honest Simplicity
The directory is not complicated. Patients find a provider; providers claim a profile; the directory improves over time.
Radical Completeness
We list every NPI-registered provider. There is no algorithm that surfaces the most-advertised over the most-qualified.
