Testimonials

“With Brenda’s assistance, I have become confident about when to recommend FEES for my patients and she has helped me educate the Nursing staff at my facility. So much so that I now when I get a dysphagia referral, it is frequently accompanied with, “Hey Valerie, maybe you could have your FEES lady take a look at this patient.” Brenda is thoughtful, compassionate, clear, concise, knowledgeable, and a treat to work with. My patients and I are very grateful for PSSD and the excellent clinical judgment and advice. Being able to safely and confidently upgrade a person’s diet to thin liquids and give them a latte or tell them it is safe to eat their favorite snack of cheese balls, is priceless.”

~ Valerie Gaskill, CCC-SLP

“Brenda is a wealth of knowledge and has been a great mentor. Not only are her reports detailed, but she takes the time to discuss specifics of each patient and bounces off ideas for treatment plans with the SLP after the FEES. I am so grateful my hospital has a contract with PSSD!”
