"I have had the pleasure of working with Casey Collins since moving to Bend to practice Pediatrics eight years ago. I entrust the care of my most complex patients to Casey for her guidance and opinion. She has been a tremendous support for children and families with issues surrounding feeding, growth and developmental speech pathology.”

“As an asthma specialist involved in the care of patients of all ages with laryngeal hypersensitivity and vocal cord dysfunction, I have had the opportunity to share numerous patients with the speech and language pathologists at Sonos. I have been very impressed by the professionalism, communication, quality of care, and outstanding results that my patients get under their care. It is very rewarding to see the results they achieve with the patients I refer to them."
