Medically-Informed, Evidence-Based Speech & Swallowing Care
Delivering measurable outcomes and meaningful improvements in function and quality of life
"I am 75 years of age, and have been entertaining since the early 70's. Although I do play guitar, my main instrument is my voice. Like most vocalists, I have been dealing with Acid Reflux throughout my career. I recently had an issue with my voice (essentially lost it) and thought that my career was over. Checked out by my ENT and was diagnosed with Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD) with a suggestion to see a Speech Language Therapist. Several names were recommended, and I chose Ritoo at Orchard Speech Pathology. I saw results almost immediately, and I am happy to say that my voice is as strong as ever." - M.E.
"Thank you Orchard Speech Pathology Inc. for helping get my dad back onto solid regular foods after his care home had unnecessarily moved him to puréed foods, which had lowered his quality of life. Using the FEES video scope swallow test at his bedside, Ritoo at Orchard Speech Pathology was able to determine my dad swallows all his food and drink properly and she wrote a report with the finding and recommendations for his care home. The test itself only took 5 minutes or so and was tolerated alright by my dad. The home was then able use the results to reinstate a regular diet. Without this test, he would have been on puréed foods for the rest of his life.
The care, compassion, professionalism and knowledge shown by Ritoo at Orchard Speech Pathology was so greatly appreciated by my family! Thank you so much!" -T.S.
"I had a really bad injury at work and fractured my larynx. From the first appointment I had at Orchard Speech Pathology I felt very comfortable and optimistic with my recovery. Everything was explained and presented clearly on what I needed to do to repair and continue to strengthen my vocal chords long term. Mrs. Goraya went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of if I had any questions or concerns after my sessions had completed. A very positive experience and would recommend to anyone needing help in this field." - M.R.
