LET’S FACE IT

You don’t have x-ray vision. But I have better.
I bring my fancy camera to your facility, anywhere from Virginia Beach to Richmond (or elsewhere! Call me, lets see what we can work out!), perform a swallow study at the bedside, print out the report and leave it that day.

I understand the challenges Speech-Language Pathologists face when they have to observe a patient eating, and then make life-altering recommendations without visual support.
Research shows a 70% error rate at the bedside, where the recommendations are either too restrictive, jeopardizing nutrition and hydration, or silent aspiration is completely missed, which can lead to pneumonia.

That’s a huge responsibility for an SLP without x-ray vision!
I are able to view the patient’s swallow for 1/4 of the price of an MBSS done at a hospital, while in their natural position, consuming their favorite food, liquids, and actual medication, all while gaining valuable input from the nurses and family that interact with the patient on a daily basis.

I strive to work closely with the patient, their family, the Speech-Language Pathologist, and nurses, to create a comprehensive patient-centered plan to ensure safe swallowing for the patient, and research based recommendations that the facility staff can feel confident implementing.
