Our practice performs thorough consultations in dysphagia evaluation and management when requested by the patient's treating physician through an order for a modified barium swallow study (MBSS). Diamond Diagnostics documents all evaluations through a detailed report and DVD, provides follow-up on each patient, and is phone available seven days per week. Diamond Diagnostics is a Mobile MBS unit in the Southwest United States. So if you are in the Southwest and need a Mobile MBS, think Diamond Diagnostics. The Diamond Diagnostics clinic is staffed with a licensed physician, a certified speech language pathologist, and a driver/technician who aids in transporting patients to and from facilities. The physician compiles a complete medical history of each patient by performing extensive chart review, interview of family, staff, or patient as appropriate. Once a patient’s case history is completed, the doctor performs a focus-expanded physical exam of the patient along with the videofluoroscopic MBSS in conjunction with the speech language pathologist. Upon completion of the consultation, recommendations are made to the primary care physician, facility SLP, and facility nursing staff . Diamond Diagnostics maintains a professional on-going doctor/patient relationship.
