Meet Amy Sumbrum, SLP of Hope Speech Pathology

Picture
A medical speech-language pathologist for over 17 years, Amy received her master’s degree from the University at Buffalo in 2001. Early on in her career, she began evaluating and treating patients with various neurological disorders with speech and swallowing disorders. In 2006, Amy began her career at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery. Amy enjoys working with the complex patient and has specialty training in the areas of dysphagia (swallowing disorders), speech disorders, voice disorders, and most recently orofacial myofunctional disorders.  Amy’s extensive knowledge concerning the anatomy and physiology of oral and pharyngeal structures allows her to bring her distinctive diagnostic and therapeutic skills to a variety of patients with swallowing, speech, voice, and orofacial myofunctional disorders.

With experience, skill, and compassion, Amy is dedicated to improving her patients’ quality of life. In 2008, she started the Buffalo Chapter of Support for People with Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer (SPOHNC), and remains the lead facilitator of this group. Through this opportunity, Amy has positively impacted hundreds of head and neck cancer survivors and their caregivers by offering social and emotional support.
​
Amy places high importance on evidence-based practice, but more importantly, Amy connects with her patients on a deeper level offering them “hope” to improve their quality of life.
