Our Team

Suburban Speech Center was created by Dr. Nancy Polow 35 years ago in South Orange, NJ.  In 1998, the Center moved to its current location in Short Hills, NJ in order to expand its staff and specialized services.  Dr. Polow has personally selected the most qualified speech-language pathologists to create a dynamic team.  Each therapist offers her varied academic and clinical expertise spanning the continuum of childhood speech-language science. As a group, we consider ourselves a family and have been together for many years.

Our team of speech-language pathologists is dedicated to delivering state-of-the-art treatment.  We provide multi-faceted and evidence-based techniques by skillfully blending the science of speech-language pathology with the art of communication to ensure the most favorable outcomes. Our staff collaborates and continuously brainstorms regarding each individual child.

Suburban Speech Center is recognized as a Center of Excellence both nationally and locally.  Our credentials and achievements are top notch. Each speech-language pathologist is a specialist in her areas of expertise.  We are recognized by “our families” as The Center that provides premiere speech-language services. We specialize in speech-language treatment – our reputation “speaks” for itself.
