Comprehensive dysphagia care from screening to complete recovery
Dysphagia screening is the first critical step in identifying swallowing problems before they lead to serious complications like aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, or dehydration. Our certified specialists use validated screening tools including EAT-10, GUSS (Gugging Swallowing Screen), and Yale Swallow Protocol to quickly assess swallowing safety. Within 10-15 minutes, we can determine if you need comprehensive instrumental assessment like FEES (Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing) or videofluoroscopy.

The non-invasive evaluation takes 20-30 minutes and determines if further instrumental testing or swallowing therapy is needed.
