Columbia Valley Swallowing Diagnostics provides fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) to skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, home health agencies, and clinics in Eastern Washington.
After establishing a service agreement, a licensed speech language pathologist (SLP) will come to you to complete a FEES study. The same day you will have a detailed report, including color images, with objective measures and individualized treatment recommendations.
SLPs have been trained to diagnose and treat dysphagia, but do not have x-ray vision. We bring a GOLD STANDARD in swallowing diagnostics, and are here to help your SLPs make appropriate recommendations for your residents. All while costing significantly less than a similar procedure at a hospital.
