A member asked:

Can doctors tell if you have a speech impediment? i have a smaller jaw and sometimes mess up words. an oral surgeon wanted to break my jaw to fix it but i didn't want to. i'm understandable?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If blatant : Most doctors can recognize stuttering, aphasia, dysarthria, but subtle word substitution, paraphasias might be overlooked An experienced speech therapist may do better
