A member asked:
What type of health care professional is a speech-language pathologist (slp)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a physician: Speech pathologists and audiologists are specialist in communication sciences. They are not physicians but provide valuable services in their area of healthcare. It would be prudent to consult an ENT specialist before going to a speech pathologist and let the ENT specialist recommend the speech pathologist.
