About janeyhoag

Janey Hoag is a private speech-language pathology practice in Dunwoody, Georgia focused on the evaluation and treatment of orofacial myofunctional disorders. Janey Hoag, M.S., CCC-SLP, COM, is a speech-language pathologist and Certified Orofacial Myologist through the International Association of Orofacial Myology. Her background includes work in hospital and medical settings before opening her private practice in 2010. The practice centers on one-on-one care for people whose oral and facial muscle patterns affect breathing, swallowing, eating, speech, and oral rest posture. The website notes that clients may come with concerns such as infant feeding difficulty, suspected tongue or lip tie, tongue thrust, open-mouth breathing, sleep-related concerns, bite changes, jaw discomfort, and speech sound problems. Some clients are referred by dentists, orthodontists, or ENT specialists, while others contact the practice on their own.

Care is described as individualized and evidence-based, with treatment planned around each person’s needs and goals. Janey emphasizes identifying contributing factors rather than addressing symptoms in isolation, and she also highlights collaboration with a broader medical or dental team when appropriate. The process begins with a free 15-minute discovery call to discuss concerns and determine whether the practice is a good match. If appropriate, clients then complete a 90-minute in-office evaluation in Dunwoody that includes review of developmental and physical history, measurements and photographs of oral structures, and a swallowing assessment. Ongoing therapy is provided in person and focuses on retraining oral and facial muscles, supported by daily home exercises intended to improve strength, coordination, and range of motion. The overall aim of care is to help clients build lasting improvement in breathing, swallowing, and communication.
