About Us
SLP Endoscopix was founded in 2018 by Ilana Klain, Speech-Language Pathologist. The practice was started to provide expedited Speech-Language Services to patients in Ontario. Since that time, we have helped countless clients with their speech, language, professional communication, voice and swallowing concerns. In 2024, we discontinued provision of Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) but have effectively collaborated with other partners who are able to provide these services in the region, ensuring patients and referral sources are not left unserved.
​
We are continuing to provide excellent assessment and intervention to clients, ranging from children & adolescents, to adults and the geriatric population. We are here to support each individual in meeting their goals, using a compassionate and collaborative approach. Our mission is to continue to provide timely and effective services to each client we serve!
