Are these Durham listings medical pathologists or speech-language pathologists?
The supplied candidates are speech-language pathologists and related pediatric voice or audiology services, not medical laboratory pathologists who diagnose tissue or blood samples.
Which Durham speech pathologist is suited to swallowing problems?
Megan Urban is board-certified in swallowing and has Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile certification. Pediatric swallowing care is also listed for Duke Children's Health Center and Jennifer Kern.
Do these providers treat adults or children?
Lindsay Dutko treats adults with swallowing, traumatic-brain-injury, and tracheostomy-related needs. Megan Urban and Audrey Walstrom treat both adults and children, while the Duke Children's clinics and Jennifer Kern focus on pediatric care.
How much does speech pathology or swallowing evaluation cost in Durham?
The supplied listings do not provide prices. Out-of-pocket cost can vary by evaluation type and insurance coverage, so ask the clinic about the visit fee, required referral, and coverage before scheduling.
Are these speech and swallowing services for emergencies?
The pediatric Duke clinic listings specifically exclude emergency or after-hours evaluation. Sudden breathing, choking, or severe swallowing problems require emergency medical care rather than a routine speech-pathology appointment.
