about our work

Shari is professional and has an excellent bedside manner with patients. Her clinical expertise in FEES is appreciated and beneficial in developing treatment plans to best serve my patients. Shari puts patients first by scheduling in a timely manner, consulting onsite about results and treatment recommendations during and after studies, and providing same-day documented results. Shari is wonderful to collaborate with and I would highly recommend Swallow Studies by Shari, LLC to any clinician in the SNF setting!

I have worked with Swallow Studies by Shari at multiple long-term care facilities over the past two years. Shari is always readily available and is willing to change up her schedule in order to meet the specific needs of my patients. She has gone above and beyond in her willingness to work with my administrators and insurance companies to ensure the prescribed services are appropriately reimbursed.                                 

Her skills as a Speech Pathologist are exemplified in her detailed reports that include colored pictures that make a wonderful tool for patient, family, and staff education. She makes her patients feel right at ease, and always considers my professional opinion in her recommendations to best meet the needs of my patient’s goals. I would highly recommend her services.

I have had the pleasure of working with Shari on several studies. I am always impressed by her calm and caring demeanor to ensure that patients are comfortable. She is very knowledgeable and driven to provide the highest quality, most objectively written reports that provide a clear path forward for treatment. I really love that she includes the facility speech-language pathologist in the study; this allows us to really visualize and understand the patient's deficits and what strategies may be most effective. I highly recommend Swallow Studies by Shari, LLC for all of your swallow study needs.

I cannot recommend Swallow Studies by Shari enough. Shari herself is responsive, always timely and professional, flexible with your schedule, and experienced as an SLP and an Endoscopist. Her equipment provides clear objective clinical information, which she utilizes for her individualized and thorough reports. Swallow Studies by Shari has helped me in many clinical situations to provide optimal care to my patients.

Shari is such an amazing SLP! I love working with her, and I always look forward to hearing her clinical expertise with FEES and dysphagia. She does a very thorough job with explaining the FEES procedure prior to administration to patients. She is also excellent at involving patients during the procedure by allowing them to ask questions and point out anatomical structures on the screen during or after FEES. Working in an SNF without imaging for patients with dysphagia can be challenging, but Shari is always very flexible with her schedule and can get to my facility in a timely manner.  So thankful for her and all she does for our residents!

We have used Shari Ferman to perform FEES swallow studies in our facility in North Chicagoland area multiple times. She has always been very professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Shari spends the time getting to know our patients, find out what their goals are, and makes realistic recommendations. Her reports are always very thorough and reader-friendly to family members and other SNF staff. We highly recommend her and will use her again in the future.
