The best place to look for a medical professional (ENT doctor, neurologist, speech therapist, etc.) with experience diagnosing and treating SD or other voice disorders is the NSDA website at www.dysphonia.org (there's also a link to the NSDA site at the top of the SD bulletin board page), then click on the Healthcare Referrals link on the top menu.
Below are the Oklahoma listings. There appears to be an experienced speech therapist in Tulsa, but all the experienced doctors seem to be in Oklahoma City, which is only about an hour away from Tulsa.Good luck to your friend.
