Neurology care at Mayo Clinic

Neurological conditions can be hard to diagnose, especially when symptoms are unexplained or the condition is serious, rare or complex. Mayo Clinic neurologists, neurosurgeons and other specialists work together to understand your condition and plan care around your needs. You do not need to know which specialist or program to choose before you start. Mayo Clinic can review your condition, guide next steps and connect you with the right experts.

Expertise in complex neurological conditions

Mayo Clinic’s Department of Neurology is one of the largest and most comprehensive neurological practices in the world. Each year, Mayo Clinic neurologists care for more than 100,000 people. The department includes more than 200 neurological experts with experience treating more than 500 nervous system disorders, including serious, rare or complex conditions.

Care for serious, rare or complex neurological conditions

Mayo Clinic evaluates neurological conditions that are serious, rare, complex or hard to diagnose. Areas of expertise include epilepsy, movement disorders, stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain and spinal cord tumors, neuromuscular and peripheral nerve disorders, pediatric neurological conditions, and other complex needs.

Coordinated care and international patient support

When a neurological condition requires expertise from more than one specialty, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, rehabilitation specialists and other experts work together. Care teams coordinate efficient evaluation, and Mayo Clinic International Patient Services can help you understand what records or information to prepare and what to expect if an appointment is scheduled. Virtual consultations are not available for international patients.

Advanced diagnosis and treatment

Neurological symptoms can have many causes. Mayo Clinic specialists use advanced testing and imaging to clarify your diagnosis and recommend treatment based on your condition and goals.

Advanced imaging and diagnostic technology

Depending on your needs, evaluation may include 7-tesla MRI, magnetic resonance elastography, PET scans, molecular diagnostics or other specialized testing. These tools can help care teams better understand complex neurological symptoms and guide your next steps.

Neurosurgery for complex conditions

Mayo Clinic performs more than 9,300 neurosurgeries each year. When surgery is appropriate, neurosurgeons may use advanced approaches such as awake brain surgery, robotics, intraoperative MRI, computer-assisted brain surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery or deep brain stimulation.
