Ridgefield Physical Therapy

Pete Bartel, Owner

As a lifelong Ridgefield resident, Pete is committed to building and keeping an exemplary business reputation in the community. This entails being genuinely concerned about each and every patient and making a concerted effort to help them recover and regain their highest level of function. To do this, our staff's focus has been on the success of our patients rather than on profits. We feel if our patients succeed, we succeed, and this is our greatest reward. We consider it a privilege when people place their trust in our knowledge and skills. The greatest complement has been when former patients return to us for other problems or when they recommend us to their friends. We are truly proud to serve our friends and neighbors in the Ridgefield area.
Pete graduated cum laude in 1975 from the University of Washington. He practiced at local hospitals and Kaiser Home Health until opening Battle Ground Physical Therapy in 1987 and Ridgefield PT in 2007. He is active in the Washington Chapter of the American PT Association. His main focus has been orthopedics, especially knee, ankle, and shoulder and some neuro. His family has lived in Ridgefield since the 1880’s. He is married and has raised 3 daughters. He served 26 years as a volunteer firefighter/EMT.
