We're overflowing with gratitude for each of you who voted for us!!! We were nominated in 3 categories -
Favorite Local Speech Therapy Center, Favorite Local Healthcare Business, and Favorite Local Healthcare Provider. Finishing in the top 3 in all categories was a true honor and a testament to the power of community. Securing a top 3 spot in Favorite Healthcare Business is a remarkable achievement, especially considering we're a small family practice up against businesses twice to triple our size. Your support is the foundation of our success.

I'm humbled and thankful. I'm honored to know some of the extraordinary doctors personally, nominated alongside us in Favorite Healthcare Provider - they're truly remarkable practitioners. To have even been mentioned alongside them is a privilege, and to have been voted first place is truly an unbelievable honor. Thank you to our patients, community, family, and friends who voted for us.

After only 3 years, we wouldn't be where we are without your encouragement and support. Our mission was to revolutionize healthcare by treating the person, not just the diagnosis. We believe in delivering care that's personal, compassionate, and heartfelt - treating patients like family. Every patient and their loved ones are known by name, and we pray over each one every morning. This recognition continues to fuel our passion to redefine healthcare. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Love,
Ellie, Eric, and Makayla

Today’s coffee toast is truly a miracle! A patient who is battling a rare, genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness, affecting approximately 2 in every 100,000 people in the United States has defied the odds! The patient came to us with a feeding tube and an inability to swallow their own saliva. They had to suction their own secretions all day and all night long and were only getting food and water through a feeding tube. Hold on to your computers/phones! Guess what?!? This patient is eating!! They are eating and drinking again and no longer using their feeding tube. They are traveling again and able to go out with their friends to restaurants and are getting their quality of life back. The spouse is truly a Godsend because they never gave up on their loved one’s ability to heal and drive over an hour one way, several times a week, to ensure that their loved one had the best chance possible and it paid off! Let’s hold our cups up high and toast this amazing miracle of a recovery!

Yesterday, I experienced a profound mix of sadness and motivation as a patient I worked with passed away after a courageous fight against cancer. Despite our brief time together, her impact on me will be lasting. The challenges she faced in swallowing due to radiation only strengthened my commitment to raising awareness about the importance of timely swallowing therapy for those undergoing head or neck cancer treatment. Her daughter's poignant words - "If only we had been sent to you sooner" - continue to echo within me, solidifying my determination to educate doctors, nurses, and patients alike. I am compelled to share this vital information with everyone, especially those navigating head or neck cancer, and to express my deepest gratitude to the daughter for her kindness. Her selflessness, to send us a thank you gift, in the face of grief is a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion and empathy in our work. This experience has only reinforced my passion for advocating for patients and their families, driving me to continue to educate and advocate for each of you. Please, if you know anyone about to go through head/neck cancer treatment, tell them that there is help. They don’t have to go through it alone. Please share this information and even if it helps one person, it was worth your time.

As we pause to celebrate the beauty of family and connection from 6/30-7/6, we'll return revitalized and focused on our mission to provide exceptional patient care starting 7/7. We're committed to spreading love and care, and we recognize that nurturing our own family bonds is essential to igniting that spark. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.

Today marks a bittersweet milestone for DSSS as we bid farewell to our office assistant, Anna, who has been an integral part of our team. The exciting news is that she is working towards the completion of her schooling to become a future SLP. Anna initially joined us around 2 years ago as our first student in need of observation hours. After completing her required hours, her passion and dedication led her to volunteer with us, and her exceptional enthusiasm paved the way for her appointment as our first office assistant during her gap year from studies. We will deeply miss Anna and feel grateful for the opportunity to have had her as part of the DSSS family. Let us collectively wish her immense success, and we look forward to the possibility of her returning to DSSS as a medical SLP upon completing her schooling and fellowship.

Today’s coffee toast goes to our office assistant, Makayla, who is getting married tomorrow. When we opened DSSS we didn’t want to just hire anyone. We wanted to hire people who would become part of our family. People that also had a heart for people. Makayla embodies what it means to be a people lover. Her husband is one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet. We see and love them both as family. Let’s raise our coffee cups this morning and toast them a life time of happiness.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Congratulations Makayla and Jamar!!

Some of our favorite moments at DSSS are the ones that look like this. We treasure every occasion of celebration with our patients- including their birthdays! This surprise brought out everyone’s smiles, as we got to treat this pediatric patient to a yummy dessert on his birthday. While we want to be there for our patients during the hard moments, we desire to also share in the joy-filled ones.
