Despite their best efforts, UW Medicine has not yet been able to reach fair and sustainable agreements with Aetna that ensure continued access to care and are in the best interests of patients. Effective June 1, 2025, UW Medicine’s contracts with Aetna for Medicare Advantage and Commercial services have expired and we are now out of network with Aetna. Learn more about what this means for you and what you should do next.
Elizabeth Coakley, PT, DPT, earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Northwestern University in 2018. Originally from Chicago, IL, she relocated to Washington that same year. Her clinical experience spans outpatient orthopedics, with a focus on pre- and post-operative rehabilitation, joint replacement recovery, injury rehabilitation, and pain management.
Elizabeth is dedicated to providing patient-centered care by working collaboratively with each individual to develop personalized goals and address their unique needs and concerns. She strives to create an environment where patients feel supported, empowered, and in control of their rehabilitation journey. Her ultimate goal is to educate and inspire patients to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle well beyond their time in physical therapy.
Outside of work, Elizabeth enjoys camping and hiking with her husband and two young children. She also has a passion for cooking and loves preparing homemade meals for her family.
