How It Works
Every patient's therapy needs are different. Each treatment plan depends on a number of variables. Your speech therapist will conduct a series of evaluations to collect baseline data and better understand your needs. These exams offer your therapist a better look at your medical history, speech-related strengths and weaknesses, as well as your receptivity to common therapy procedures.
These factors affect your prognosis and will all be taken into account by your speech-language pathologist. From there, we devise a strategy to most effectively provide therapy. For therapy that is custom-tailored to your individual struggles and goals, contact us today to get started.

Maintaining Therapy
Between Sessions
When you leave an appointment for speech therapy, your treatment doesn't end there. For best results, make a commitment to follow through with exercises your speech-language pathologist has shared with you. Therapy can be frustrating, but try to maintain a pleasant attitude and remain open to the work outside of sessions. Keep in mind that your SLP is there to share their knowledge and help you reach your goals. With the compassionate care provided by Medical Speech Therapy Services, we strive to make all of our patients comfortable and motivated to attain their objectives.
Why Choose Us?
Swallowing disorders , also known as dysphagia , encompass a range of difficulties in moving food or liquid from the mouth to the stomach. These conditions can arise from various causes, including neurological disorders, muscular conditions, or structural abnormalities. Swallowing disorders may present symptoms such as coughing or choking while eating, a sensation of food getting stuck in the throat, or persistent heartburn. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough evaluation by a speech-language pathologist or a specialist in swallowing disorders. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition but often include exercises to strengthen swallowing muscles, dietary modifications, and, in some cases, medical interventions. Early detection and management of swallowing disorders are crucial for maintaining proper nutrition and preventing complications.
