Key Skills
Pediatrics — Physical Therapist Career Context
Of the 50 active Pediatrics listings this role was benchmarked against, 4% are remote, 38% have no call, 78% require no weekends.
Pediatrics pay on WeekdayDoc is down 8.7% vs. the prior quarter (through Aug 2026).
The cost-of-living index for Texas is 97.1 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$70k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $72k in an average-cost state. 57.7% of Texas clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).
Location & Logistics
Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$70k midpoint, that is roughly $3k–$5k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
