About

Michelle Parker is a speech-language pathologist at Intermountain Health’s Budge Clinic – ENT in North Logan, Utah. She supports patients throughout Cache Valley, Box Elder County, Rich County, and surrounding communities treating voice disorders, swallowing disorders (dysphagia), chronic cough, and more. She believes in patient-centered care and individualized therapy approaches that prioritize education, functional improvement, and general wellbeing.

Michelle is passionate about helping patients restore their voice, communication, and swallowing function to improve their confidence and quality of life through individualized therapy approaches and education. She understands the voice is a unique feature for each person, and a one-size-fits-all approach does not exist. To ensure individualism is brought to each patient, Michelle takes the time to understand each patient's unique challenges and goals and develop an individualized care plan to meet those needs.

Outside the clinic, the Salt Lake City native enjoys Pilates, golf, hiking, horseback riding, crafting, and baking.
