Company History

Co-founders Jennifer Barnett and Molly Sloan are both Kansas City born and raised practicing Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs).  Mobile FEES, LLC evolved from a recognized professional need for MOBILE instrumental diagnostic swallowing services at Jennifer and Molly’s former place of employment.

 

Practicing SLPs…

  1. Are you sending pt’s for instrumental swallow exams AFTER CXR results indicate pneumonia?
  2. Do you wish there was a more COST-EFFECTIVE way to assess the swallow objectively by instrumentation?
  3. Do you wish YOU could be there in person for the instrumental evaluation?
  4. Do your patients present differently FEEDING THEMSELVES in their NATURAL EATING POSITION OVER 15 MINUTES opposed to sitting fully upright being fed one bite/drink at a time for a short period?
  5. Do you have to WAIT a week or more to get your pt scheduled for an instrumental eval and then WAIT AGAIN for the report?
  6. Is TRANSPORTATION A HARDSHIP on your patient?
  7. Is your pt PRESENTING DIFFERENTLY now compared to the hospital stay?
  8. Are you QUESTIONING YOUR CLINICAL RECS  bedside diet/liquid recs or dysphagia tx plans because you don’t truly know what’s going on inside?
