Ruthvi Patel,
M.S., CCC-SLP
Hi! I’m Ruthvi Patel, a licensed speech-language pathologist and the founder of SpeakEZ Speech Services. I am a bilingual SLP and provide treatment in English, Gujarati, and Hindi. As part of my graduate degree, I completed a thesis titled Situational Fears in Adults Who Stutter and the research shaped my treatment approach for stuttering, and allowed me to learn about the effects stuttering can have on someone’s life. I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of dysphagia/swallowing disorders, fluency/stuttering disorders, articulation and speech sound disorders, cognitive-communication disorders, and brain injury rehabilitation.
Outside of SpeakEZ, I enjoy spending time with my husband, son, and dog. We are always on the hunt for new restaurants and my husband and I love watching our son grow up. I also enjoy reading (LOTR & HP are my faves!), baking, and painting.
