Procedure Candidacy

Anyone who is struggling with their speech or language may be an excellent candidate to see a speech therapist. The therapy can be beneficial for those with medical or neurological conditions. During your private consultation, our ENT specialists will evaluate your condition and schedule an appointment to meet with one of our caring and knowledgeable speech therapists. From there, the speech therapist will create an individualized treatment plan geared towards your unique issues.

What to Expect from the Procedure

During your first appointment, our practitioners will listen to your concerns and discuss your speech problems. We will perform a physical evaluation as well as delve into your medical history. Once this stage of your treatment is complete, we will create a treatment plan that addresses your needs. We will schedule you for appointments with your speech therapist and decide how often you should see your provider.
