Description of Services: Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) is an assessment performed by a speech language pathologist in consultation with an ear, nose, and throat doctor (ENT) to see inside the throat when swallowing

FEES allows you and the SLP to see: 

 -Food is going into your airway instead of your esophagus (food pipe) 
-Which parts of your throat may not be working well 
-How certain strategies or postures may help you swallow better and/or safer 

 The SLP uses the FEES results to plan your treatment and discuss the foods and drinks which may be safer for you
