Having trouble swallowing? Don’t ignore it.

By The Medical City (TMC), Ortigas | August 14, 2026

Having trouble swallowing? Don’t ignore it.

The Medical City Clark advances safer, more precise care for swallowing disorders with Central Luzon’s first and exclusive Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS), enabling accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.

Difficulty swallowing (also known as dysphagia), could signal more than you think. Frequent coughing during meals, a wet or gurgly voice, choking, or unexplained weight loss are critical signs that require immediate expert evaluation. 

The Medical City Clark offers the region’s first and exclusive Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS). This advanced procedure provides a real-time moving X-ray video of your swallowing mechanism, allowing specialists to pinpoint hidden risks like silent aspiration where food or liquid enters the airway without triggering a cough. 

As Anthony Goulet, the first patient of The Medical City Clark’s Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study, noted: 

“VFSS is a super important scan, and it’s done all over the world in all of the top hospitals. And the fact that Dr. Generoso (Pioneer of VFSS at TMC Clark) is bringing that technology and that type of scanning ability to The Medical City Clark is super positive, and I believe that it’s going to provide a more precise scanning that will help doctors to be able to evaluate and hopefully diagnose their patients.”

With the comprehensive approach, early diagnostic success is already paving the way for safer, highly personalized care. The hospital’s specialists analyze the complete swallow process to deliver safe, precise, and tailored treatment strategies, including targeted diet modifications and specialized rehabilitation.
