Texas Mobile FEES Dysphagia Specialists, LLC

Texas Mobile FEES Dysphagia Specialists, LLC Julie Ritchie, M.S. CCC-SLP has practiced speech pathology with an emphasis on swallowing disorders for eighteen years.

Julie spearheaded the use of flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) in the hospital setting in Austin in 2009. After established in FEES, this instrumental evaluation became her preferred method of diagnosing swallowing disorders for the portability, sensitivity, accuracy, and detailed anatomical information FEES yields. Now through the formation of Texas Mobile FEES Dysphagia Specialists, LLC, Julie brings FEES to post-acute settings throughout Austin and it's surrounding communities. Clinicians now have the choice of this superior view swallowing diagnostic, and patients are better accommodated, right at the bedside.

Today was a long one but a great one. Scoped all across the land šŸ˜‚ and ended the day with a successful plan for a vent patient. Got home to finish at my desk with the warmest welcome🄰

Thank you to all of my incredible SLP colleagues who refer and who appreciate what a good FEES can do!

There is much research comparing endoscopy to videofluoroscopy, both of which are considered diagnostic gold standard for oropharyngeal dysphagia.

Have you performed both FEES and MBS/VFSS on the same patient? How did your interpretation/findings influence your decision making?

Sign up for our upcoming course NEXT WEEK (March 4-6) to learn more about the indications and benefit of FEES!

It’s the month of honoring the SLP! What better time to highlight some of the amazing clinicians I get to work with through my mobile FEES practice?

Her advocacy for patients and commitment to evidence-based practice is strongšŸ’ŖšŸ¼! It’s paying off in patient outcomes and motivates me every time I’m in her rehab hospital.

ā€œQuinn, like many severely ill COVID-19 patients, found that surviving the disease was merely the first leg of the journey to overcoming it.ā€

Swallowing, communication, and cognitive impairments are all found in the aftermath of this disease.

Recovery from COVID-19 can mean long, difficult rehab
