Central Texas Speech Pathology Services

My son and I came here with hopes of him getting the help he needed to improve his speech. Instead we were completely robbed.
Upon checking in I was notified by the receptionist that they were having an issue with my insurance & my son was not listed under my insurance plan.
I called while I was there and turns out the problem was due to a mistake from my employer… So I told myself I wasn’t going to let that be the reason my son wouldn’t be seen that day. I payed them $ 160 for a consultation and he was seen that day as planned. Everything went well, the lady was really nice and I was told I would get a call back. I NEVER heard from them ever again. I shouldn’t have to call them to remind them of something they had to do. Way to do business.

I didn’t even know I had Vocal Chord Dysfunction before I met Lisa Famiglietti. I just knew that my throat tightened up every time I went on stage, and threatened to take me off the stage (and out of my career) for good! I had seen another Speech Language Pathologist for a while, but I knew we hadn’t gotten down to the real problem.
Lisa explained things in a way that was easily understood, to the degree that they could be explained, anyway. Much of VCD, as well as the treatment of it, seems like voodoo! She’s the first to tell you that. But I trusted her, and the voodoo worked, and that’s all I need to know!
My whole experience at CTSPS was wonderful.
Oh, AND… a close friend of mine told me that she had also, coincidentally, been successfully treated by Lisa for VCD! This friend had suffered from 12 years of debilitating «asthma,» struggled with it daily, and spent $ 250k in that time trying to treat it. Lisa properly diagnosed her with VCD for the first time ever, and her 12-​year problem started disappearing after the first session!
Thank you, Lisa, for being a true expert!

I had a hemorrhage on a vocal cord that was not healing on its own and my ENT’s office recommended Lisa at Central Texas Speech Pathology. I am so glad they did! I started to see results after the first session and within 8 weeks I was fully healed. The exercises she had me work on are things that I will continue to do and have integrated them naturally into my everyday life so hopefully I won’t have to go through this again. She helped me feel like myself again!

I literally searched and searched all over Austin for a speech therapist who specializes in Vocal Cord Dysfunction.
I saw many speech therapists in hopes that someone, anyone would be able to help me. Unfortunately, it was a waste of my time and money, not to mention the stress that I endured wondering if I was going to have to live with breathing difficulties for the rest of my life. I even called specialists in Houston and San Antonio in hopes they could refer me to someone or schedule me for an appointment. I was so desperate for help, that I even went to a vocal coach in hopes that she could help me, but that experience belongs in a different Unilocal review. ;)
When I found out Lisa specialized in VCD (i couldn’t believe my ENT didn’t refer me to her sooner– what the???), I was overjoyed. I even got teary eyed as i made my appointment. (Don’t judge. Vocal Cord Dysfunction feels like your drowning all the time). I highly recommend Lisa. She really knows what she is doing and truly understands what VCD feels like. It is such a relief it to have her expertise available, and know that I will be able to breathe with her guidance. I have only seen her four times now but she gave me exercises to do right away. Which to me, was huge. All of the other therapists I saw for VCD sent me on my way without any exercises until the second or third session.
Learn from my experience and go to Lisa first. She’s the best.

Working with the staff and speech pathologists at Central Texas Speech Pathology Services has been a pleasure.
The office personnel are extremely helpful, diligent in following up and have a true genuineness about them that makes scheduling appointments easy. In fact, the staff went above and beyond on my behalf, reaching out to my insurance company to get treatment pre-​approved without burdening me with the task of calling. Their staff was kind enough to deal with insurance complications before my arrival, making my visit to CTSPS hassle-​free. Not only that, but the therapists were always punctual, thus my appointment time was «as advertised,» which is very much appreciated.
In addition, the pathologists are extremely knowledgeable and prove to be experts in their field. I visited Dr. Lisa over the course of my treatment for Vocal Cord Dysfunction. The results have been outstanding — I am proud to say that I am now able to participate in the sport I love best, triathlons, without any issues breathing thanks to my sessions with CTSPS. While I was skeptical at first, Dr. Lisa’s course of action proved to be helpful in reducing stress and opening my vocal cords, allowing me to breathe.
I truly appreciate all the help from CTSPS and would highly recommend their services.
