How do I make an appointment?

Please call 212- 453-0036 to speak to one of our patient care specialists. They will be happy to guide you through the process of becoming a new patient. We welcome all inquiries and are pleased that you are considering receiving treatment at New York Neurogenic Speech-Language Pathology, P.C.

What happens during my initial visit?

Your initial visit consists of an extensive, in-depth, sixty (60) minute evaluation. During this diagnostic session, the therapist will listen to your history, learn about your symptoms, and hear your concerns and expectations for therapy. S/he will ask you a variety of questions to better understand your condition. Based on this initial evaluation, the therapist will outline a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan for your care.

Having a companion, spouse, parent or significant other with you during the initial visit is helpful, although not required. We allow ample time for everyone to ask questions, work through the proposed treatment plan and not feel rushed. We value each patient and give our undivided attention to his or her individual situation. It is important for patients (and their families) to be able to establish a significant relationship with their therapist as soon as possible.

To schedule an initial visit, please call 212-453-0036.

How often do I need to receive therapy?

There is no one answer to this question as no two patients are the same. It depends totally on your condition, your needs and insurance coverage. While some patients come once a week for an hour, others come twice a week for 30 minutes treatment sessions. We strive to make therapy as convenient impossible and have numerous patients who elected to have Internet-based services.

The scope and duration of your therapy will be decided in consultation with your therapist, during your initial visit

Does NYNeuroSLP accept insurance?

NYNeuroSLP works with many different insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare — but please let the patient care representative know when you call to inquire about becoming a patient, what kind of insurance you have.
