Speech Pathology was founded by Linda Aldridge Smith in 1979. A native of Western North Carolina, she graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Speech Pathology. She received her Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of South Carolina. After years of experience in clinical settings, she chose to leave her position as Director of Speech and Hearing Services in an acute care hospital to open a private practice. She chose Lumberton for several reasons, including its easy access to and from the North and South Carolina coastal areas, and the need for speech services in the area.
Our clinical staff at Speech Pathology treats patients at Southeastern Regional Medical Center,

Southeastern Lifestyle Center for Fitness and Rehabilitation, Public Schools of Robeson County, preschool programs, home health agencies, and at our outpatient clinic on Oakridge Boulevard. Our goal is to ensure that all of our clients receive the best possible treatment in a friendly, professional, and caring environment.
