You do not need a referral to see a speech pathologist. However, if you have a chronic cough, voice issue, or breathing problem, it’s important to see a doctor to rule out underlying conditions and to support the diagnosis. In most cases, this means seeing an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist, especially one with expertise in laryngology (voice and airway disorders).

We collaborate with ENTs and other medical professionals to ensure you receive the most appropriate and effective care.
