This is confusing.


Doc is making a referral to a speech therapist because patient is having difficulty with s/l dysphagia/dysphasia with apples and peanut butter.


Dysphagia relates to swallowing and dysphasia relates with speech. 


I think it would be dysphagia as he relates apples and peanut butter.  Does a speech therapist help with swallowing difficulties?

The way I was taught is that if each part of the sentence can stand alone as a separate sentence, then use a comma. In your case, the second half after the comma would not make sense as a single sentence.
