There's no need to unsettle your patient, add additional stress to them or other allied staff, or relocate a patient from the facility to conduct high-quality instrumental swallowing evaluations. Our licensed, specially trained, and nationally certified Speech-Language Pathologists travel to contracted medical facilities across Oklahoma to carry out the endoscopic assessment procedure, upon the request of a licensed speech pathologist and a physician's order. The results from these assessments provide physicians and other care providers with concrete evidence of swallowing impairment, characteristics of swallowing defined by an evidence-based nominal rating scale, and the severity of the condition. We also offer recommendations for administering hydration, oral feeding, and/or feeding rehabilitation for your patient. Reach out to us at 405-766-1238 so we can discuss your patient’s needs.

When one step fails, a swallowing disorder can occur.

Our mission is to provide a detailed and clear understanding of a person's swallowing disorder, contribute to education on swallowing disorders, deliver high-quality evaluations, and support speech and language pathologists treating patients by providing a report that will aid both the patient and the treating speech pathologist with a precise plan of care.
