Meet Our Clinician
Mason, a certified Speech Language Pathologist, leads Mobile Swallowing Diagnostics as its CEO. His experience spans from early intervention to working with school-age children, and from traveling roles in skilled nursing facilities to acute care settings with high acuity. It was during these travels that Mason noticed a significant challenge: the delay and difficulty in providing high-standard swallowing evaluations for patients in Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living Facilities. This observation inspired the foundation of Mobile Swallowing Diagnostics.
The creation of Mobile Swallowing Diagnostics stemmed from a simple yet profound goal: to ensure that every patient receives timely and high-quality care without compromises. By introducing Mobile Swallowing Diagnostics, Mason aims to directly address the gaps he witnessed in patient care. His approach is not just about innovation for its own sake but about genuinely enhancing the way swallowing evaluations are delivered. In doing so, Mason hopes to elevate the standard of care, making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and the facilities that serve them.
