Diagnostech FEES for Patients
Patients experiencing swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) often due to stroke, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, dementia, or general muscle weakness face serious risks such as choking, aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, and dehydration. Our on-site FEES exams directly address these concerns by accurately assessing swallowing function, quickly identifying problems, and giving clinicians the data they need to intervene before complications occur. The result is improved patient safety, comfort, and quality of life.

Healthcare facilities that incorporate Diagnostech’s on-site swallowing evaluations can significantly improve resident outcomes and operational efficiency. Offering these assessments on-site reduces hospital readmissions linked to swallowing complications, enables faster and more accurate diagnosis, and supports personalized care planning. Facilities benefit by enhancing patient safety, boosting resident satisfaction, and demonstrating a commitment to proactive, high-quality healthcare.

Swallowing disorders can severely impact a resident’s quality of life, leading to malnutrition, dehydration, and a decline in overall health.
With Diagnostech, you gain a proactive solution that ensures residents receive the safest, least restrictive diet while preserving dignity and quality of life.
In addition to improving patient care, our Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing service provides tangible benefits to nursing homes, including clear clinical documentation, reduced legal risk, and compliance with state and federal regulations.
What is a FEES Exam?
A Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing is a highly accurate diagnostic procedure used to assess a patient’s swallowing function. It involves inserting a thin, flexible endoscope through the nose to capture real-time images of the throat while the patient swallows different food and liquid consistencies. This detailed view allows clinicians to detect swallowing impairments, aspiration risks, and structural abnormalities with precision, giving your team immediate, evidence-based answers.
