Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder caused by various medical conditions. Assessments include clinical swallow evaluations and, if indicated, evaluation via Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES). We coordinate with Radiology to complete Video Fluoroscopic Swallow Studies (VFSS), also known as Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBSS). In addition, we provide therapy to address dysphagia with strategies fitted best to each patient’s needs.
