About

Helping local SLPs and physicians provide evidence-based services.

With experience in acute hospital, acute rehab, outpatient clinic, skilled nursing, and home health experience, our clinical staff knows how challenging it is to access swallow imaging as a speech pathologist in California. Notwithstanding, current professional standard of care necessitates imaging for a thorough swallowing assessment. North County Swallow & Speech teams with local facilities and SLPs to give accurate diagnoses and training from the start, leading to better treatment and better outcomes.
