Louisiana Voice and Swallow Solutions

"As a fellow speech language pathologist in the home health setting, Nicole’s mobile FEES service provided life changing information and results to my patients. She determined one patient was able to return to eating and drinking by mouth & didn’t need the feeding tube. For another patient, her assessment the patient aspirating on thin liquids and needed nectar thick. Being in the comfort of the patient homes allows for decreased anxiety & less stress for the family. It also allows Nicole to assess the patient with foods that they enjoy and for a length of time without radiation exposure. She was easy to work with, responded within 24/48 hours of the order and had the report completed timely. I highly recommend Nicole for your needs."

"Nicole and staff are absolutely amazing! They are so supportive and positive in every way! Because of the type of injury I had, I was very reluctant to start speech therapy and share my experiences, but Nicole made me feel at ease and her positivity makes me know I can overcome my problem and get back where I want to be! I look forward to my appointments! I would never go to anyone else! They definitely know what they’re doing and do it best! I know I’ll soon be cheering for my son at baseball just like I used to soon!"

"Nicole is so knowledgeable and responsive to questions and referrals. I know that when I send patients to her for evaluation or treatment they will be well taken care of. 10/10 recommend."

"I’m a Speech Language Pathologist who works in the home health setting. Recently, Louisiana Voice & Swallow Solutions provided a mobile FEES service for two of my home health patients. The results of the formal swallow diagnostic allowed the patient, family, Dr & myself know what was safe for the patient & if the patient needed further speech therapy services. For one patient, the results determined that the patient was able to return to eating & drinking & not need the feeding tube any more. For the other patient, who had just been hospitalized for suspected aspiration pneumonia; but they did not get a swallow assessment in the hospital, the FEES results showed the patient was aspirating on thin liquids & needed to be placed on nectar thick liquids to decrease the risk of aspiration Pneumonia. Having the FEES service in the home of each patient allowed for comfort and relaxation for each patient because it was in their own home which is a familiar environment & it was less stress for the family because it didn’t required the families to find transportation to get the patient to a facility to have a test done. Due to Covid concerns, having the test done in the home also decreased the risk of exposure to other illnesses. Nicole was able to view each patient consuming a meal which allowed for a more thorough assessment of their swallow function. She came out within 24/48 hours of receiving the Dr’s order & had the report submitted shortly after completing the FEES to both her Dr & myself. The patients, families, Dr & myself have been happy with the services provided by Louisiana Voice & Swallow Solutions & I would recommend using Nicole for any Swallowing or Voice assessments."

"This procedure was recommended due to my history of acid reflux. I was very anxious about having the procedure done but Nicole helped to ease my anxiety by explaining everything that was going to happen and what to expect. She was very professional and knowledgeable in her field. The procedure was not painful at all. After the procedure she review the results with me and provided appropriate recommendations."
