“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.”
