FIBEROPTIC ENDOSCOPIC EVALUATION OF SWALLOWING (FEES) FEES is a safe and effective instrumental assessment used in the evaluation of people with swallowing problems. At Baycrest, FEES is performed by a certified speech-language pathologist (SLP) in consultation with an ear, nose and throat doctor (ENT) in order to see what is happening inside your throat when you swallow. A small tube with a camera enables them to watch and record your swallow on a computer monitor. FEES allows you and the SLP to see: Food is going into your airway instead of your esophagus (food pipe) Which parts of your throat may not be working well How certain strategies or postures may help you swallow better and/or safer The SLP uses the FEES results to plan your treatment and discuss the foods and drinks which may be safer for you. A physician referral is required for this service. Send referral to SpeechPathology@baycrest.org or fax to 647-788-0718 Please note : A fee-for-service applies. Payment accepted by credit card (Visa, Mastercard).
