Neurology

Overview

In the Department of Neurology at Mayo Clinic, doctors trained in brain and nervous system conditions (neurologists) diagnose and treat people with neurological conditions.

Mayo Clinic neurologists have expertise and experience diagnosing and treating hundreds of neurological conditions, including many rare or complex conditions.

Doctors in the Department of Neurology at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota diagnose and treat many people each year with neurological conditions.

Mayo Clinic neurologists work with an integrated team of doctors trained in brain and nervous system surgery (neurosurgeons), tumors of the brain and nervous system (neuro-oncologists), mental health conditions (psychiatrists and psychologists), sleep disorders, speech conditions (speech-language pathologists), eye conditions (ophthalmologists), pain medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and other areas to provide you with comprehensive care.

Neurologists trained in epilepsy, movement disorders, dementias and other cognitive conditions, cerebrovascular diseases, stroke telemedicine, concussion testing, and several other areas evaluate and treat people with specific conditions.

At Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, neurologists trained in treating children with neurological conditions (pediatric neurologists) may work with doctors trained in the general care of children (pediatricians) and other areas to care for children with neurological conditions.

Neurologists at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota also provide care for people at several regional clinics and hospitals each week. A primary care provider at each location must refer people for appointments with a visiting neurologist. Current communities served by a visiting Mayo Clinic neurologist include:

• Decorah Clinic, Decorah, Iowa
• Federal Medical Center, Rochester, Minn.

Neurologists in the Mayo Clinic Health System serve people in Eau Claire, Wis., and surrounding areas, La Crosse, Wis., Menomonie, Wis., Austin, Minn., Mankato, Minn., Faribault, Minn., and Owatonna, Minn.

Mayo Clinic researchers actively study risks, causes, and new diagnostic tests and treatments for neurological conditions and conduct clinical trials.
